Morgan Wallen’s newest album, “Dangerous: The Double Album,” debuted in early 2021, comprising of 30 songs and over one hour and 30 minutes of run time. Without a full album release since 2018, the double album epic rocked the country genre, throwing both country and the album into mainstream media. While Wallen doesn’t dive fully into ‘old country,’ he finds the perfect mix between old-style country and new pop music. The album serves as an introduction for new country fans, especially those apprehensive about the genre. With top hits such as “865” and “Neon Lights” as well as hidden gems like “Country A$$ Shit,” Wallen produces a vibrant and complex album anyone can listen to on repeat. It’s hard to call this a ‘greatest of all time’ album, as it’s simply too new. However, it is not too soon to predict the long-lasting impact Wallen and his album will have on country music. From bringing new fans into the genre to exciting old ones, Wallen has produced a masterpiece for generations to enjoy.
