On “A Country Life,” songwriter Seth Hancock presents his toe-tapping country anthem about the joy of slowing down and admiring the little things. A lighthearted single manages to convey a truly joyous anticipation of ditching city charges for the clean, wholesome rhythms of rural living.
For Hancock, songwriting is art and also his lifeblood. For someone whose job it is to communicate via the written word and then through music, this song feels incredibly close. Its lively spirit and genuine storytelling are a welcome reminder of why country music tells truths we often miss.
The lyrics paint a beautiful picture of open spaces, honest work, and connected communities, serving as a welcome antidote to the noise of urban living. Meanwhile, the musicianship is elevated to a new level. Featuring three-time ACM-winning session guitarist Sol Philcox-Littlefield weighing in with guitar and dobro, the musical layers are welcoming.
“A Country Life” is a celebration of rural living but also a poignant reminder of the importance of balance in life. It celebrates the pleasures of nature, community, and simplicity, offering a refuge from the hurly-burly of modern times. Seth Hancock has penned not just a great country tune but an anthem for anyone who wants to return to what is most important. It’s a fun, grounding song you’ll want to listen to over and over again.
