"Cruise" Florida Georgia Line

Nashville's latest breakthrough act is Florida Georgia Line, a guitar-strumming vocal duo from the aforementioned states whose debut single, "Cruise," recently hit #1 on country radio. It's as straightforward a twangy jam as you could ever imagine, touching on numerous standbys of the genre, including Southern babes, pickup trucks and comparing situations to a song—all of which is a probably a relief for country fans who have felt besieged by the record-breaking chart reign of Taylor Swift's utterly poppy "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." For the rest of us, it offers a nice escape from the winter blues. B
