Thomas Rhett‘s latest hit asks “What’s Your Country Song,” and when the question is posed to Thomas, he has a definitive answer. He tells us: “I think if I had to pick my country song, it would probably be something by Eric Church, cause I think going through middle school and high school, he was my idol in country music, and I just remember listening to ‘These Boots’ over and over and over and over again. I just loved how simple it was, how stripped down it was and the story that it told, cause I think we all have been in those places where, whether we’re wearing boots or tennis shoes or whatever it is, you’re like, 'Dang, these things have seen a lot of life and a lot of crazy memories, a lot of sad memories, a lot of the good ones,' so I think ‘These Boots’ would be my country song.”
Thomas is closing in on the top of the charts with “What's Your Country Song.” The song is the lead release from his upcoming double album, called Country Again: Side A, which will be released on April 30th.
