A rather rowdy and raucous piece of modern alternative folk/country, the latest piece from The Best Around is an absolute treat to go through. There’s not a dull moment on ‘Didn’t Come Here to Count ‘Em’. Each part of the track has its moments, featuring lyricism that you’d find from a typical country track, a dollop of synth work to give it a distinctively modern feel, and an absolutely pomp loaded horn section that simply elevates the entire piece onto a new level. It feels like an instant shot of caffeine, a burst of adrenaline, a shockwave that’s bound to get you rolling around.
Singer songwriter Cameron Rushin discovered the key line in the song years ago while out with his family when his aunt asked his uncle how many beers he had had to drink. “I didn’t come here to count ’em. I came here to drink ’em,” An incredibly fun tune to have a round to.
