Rolling StoneA review by calls the LP “an irresistibly catchy album of collaborations (15 of the 18 tracks feature guest appearances) that highlights Malone’s rebellious spirit but has more in common with today’s safe country radio fare than albums by troublemakers like Simpson or the Waylons and Willies before us.”
Hours after the release of his country album, Malone released the extended Long bed Edition, which includes nine solo albums, including “Dead at the Honky Tonk,” “Ain’t How it Ends,” “Hey Mercedes,” “Who Needs You” and “Go to Hell.”
In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Malone talked about the 18-track album’s final track, “Yours,” which serves as a tribute to his two-year-old daughter. Malone told CBS that his daughter and his daughter’s mother saved his life when he was on a “rough road.” Malone said he struggled with loneliness and alcohol abuse, adding that he needed that life lesson to better understand himself.
“I don’t feel that way anymore and that’s the most amazing thing,” Malone said.
