One Thing at a Time

Morgan Wallen’s 2021 project *Dangerous: The Double Album* sent shockwaves through the country music industry and beyond, breaking sales records and racking up weeks, then months, atop the Billboard 200 album chart on the strength of singles like “Wasted on You” and “More Than My Hometown.” With his third effort *One Thing at a Time*, Wallen retains the maximalist approach of its predecessor—there are 36 songs on the project—as well as its aesthetic, which lands somewhere between the bro country of Florida Georgia Line and the more narrative songwriting of Eric Church. Guests on *One Thing at a Time* comprise Eric Church on “Man Made a Bar,” HARDY on “In the Bible,” and ERNEST on “Cowgirls.”

Modern country’s prodigal son returns with a 36-song album that says a whole lot of nothing.

Morgan Wallen opens One Thing at a Time with two songs where the narrator cops to drinking too much and not quite remembering what they've said.

Listening to Morgan Wallen's ‘One Thing at a Time’ in one sitting is akin to binging a seven-course meal. Read our review.
