This album is sure to make waves as it showcases his growth as an artist and songwriter. Davis has been on fire lately, from his electrifying performance of “Tucson Too Late” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to his recent appearance on NBC’s TODAY where he performed his current radio single, “Next Thing You Know.” And let’s not forget his recent milestones: his fifth career No. 1 at country radio, sold-out headlining shows, and more.
But enough about his achievements; let’s dive into the treasure trove that is “Bluebird Days.” It’s no surprise that the album has been receiving rave reviews from the likes of Billboard and Entertainment Focus, given Davis’ unique blend of traditional and contemporary genres. Plus, he’s got a knack for creating songs that are relatable, honest, and deeply moving.
The album includes his recent multi-week No. 1 hit, “What My World Spins Around,” and the 2x Platinum sensation, “Buy Dirt.” The latter, a collaboration with his brother, Jacob Davis, and brothers Matt and Josh Jenkins, has earned numerous accolades and over 900 million streams to date. Talk about a family affair!
It’s clear that Jordan Davis has come a long way since his RIAA Gold-certified debut album, “Home State.” He’s all about growth and honesty, and “Bluebird Days” is a testament to that. This 17-track album delves into his past experiences and emotions, demonstrating his incredible songwriting prowess.
Davis’ vulnerability is on full display in tracks like “Fishing Spot,” a heartfelt homage to his late grandfather. Then there’s the title track, “Bluebird Days,” which explores his life as a child of divorced parents. The album also showcases his personal growth in songs like “Short Fuse,” where the Shreveport, LA native opens up about a side of him that he keeps close to his chest.
Songs like “Damn Good Time” and “One Beer in Front of the Other” bring a sense of lightheartedness and appreciation, while “Tucson Too Late” is reminiscent of the magic behind “Buy Dirt” and has earned comparisons to the legendary Keith Whitley.
If you haven’t checked it out already, “Next Thing You Know” is quickly becoming a fan-favorite, racking up over 150 million streams even before its official country radio release.
Growing up in Shreveport, Louisiana, Davis was exposed to songwriting greats like Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, and Jim Croce. Little did he know that these early influences would eventually pave the way for his own songwriting career.
After moving to Nashville in 2012, Davis worked tirelessly to perfect his craft, eventually signing a publishing deal with ole (now Anthem Entertainment) in 2015. A year later, he signed with UMG Nashville, and his debut single, “Singles You Up,” became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
Fast forward to today, and Davis has gifted us with “Bluebird Days,” an album that truly reflects where he is in his life – living the dream. He’s embraced vulnerability and honesty in his songwriting, allowing his fans to connect with him on a deeper level.
