As Homer Simpson once toasted, To alcohol: the cause of, and solution to, all of lifes problems.Thomas Rhett echoes part of that sentiment in his celebratory new song Beer Cant Fix, a duet with Jon Pardi. Its the latest track to be released off Rhetts upcoming album Center Point Road.
Aint nothing that a beer cant fix/aint no pain it cant wash away/from the moment that it hits your lips/makes those clouds look a little less gray, sings Rhett in the chorus. Pardi comes in on the second verse, lamenting a bad day of fishing on the lake and the loss of his favorite team, but makes the case that a six-pack can help turn the tide.
One of the more country-sounding entries off Rhetts eclectic Center Point Road, Beer Cant Fix taps into the popular beachy vibe of vets like Kenny Chesney and Billy Currington rather than honky-tonking country its more Corona commercial than Shiner ad. A whistle solo in the breakdown also reinforces the chillaxing feel of the tune, written by Rhett with Julian Bunetta, Zach Skelton and OneRepublics Ryan Tedder.
Beer Cant Fix is the fifth song Rhett has used to preview Center Point Road, following Dont Threaten Me With a Good Time with Little Big Town, Look What God Gave Her, Remember You Young and That Old Truck. Rhetts fourth album, Center Point Road will be released May 31st.
