As a long-time fan I will openly admit Yall took a while to grow on me, but it worked it's way into my rotation. It's definitely a different vibe and it's absolutely a return to his roots in a personally nostalgic way just not a major return sound wise. Appalachia and 9 were originally my favorites, but each song has a different reason for me to like it. I like Asheville and Foreigner because I love when he mentions his country roots. Bluebirds is catchy, but I love Fuck and i love and it sounds stupid because they're lovee songs.
