The song called "Start Nowhere" was released Wednesday (11/23). The music video was released in tandem. The video starts out with a home video shot in Cedartown, Georgia where a young Sam Hunt coaxes his brother Van to ride a goat. Hunt, 37, posted a long caption along with a clip of the new video on his Instagram account.
"Sometimes the only way to get your feet back on the ground is to go back home where you grew up. "
The song is from Sam's new project. Sam has had a lot of success with nostalgic songs, including the hit "23."
The trip down memory lane has special meaning for the country star because he will be spending Thanksgiving with his family and his 6-month old baby girl, Lucy. He told People, "We'll be making the rounds with our new little girl, so she'll be on kind of a baby tour."
8 Sam Hunt Songs That Make Us Swoon
Sam Hunt came into country music and made his mark in 2014 with his debut album Montevallo, which was nominated for Best Country Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2015. His towering, good looks made Sam an instant country star. As we celebrate his 37th birthday today (12/8), we take a look at and countdown his eight best songs.
8. "House Party" (2015)
UMGAn upbeat fun song and a big hit for Sam. It’s one of his signature songs.
7. "Break Up in a Small Town" (2015)
UMGHunt discussed the process of making the song, saying it was born when he was "singing that chorus melody late one night while riding around trying to come up with song ideas.”
6. "Take Your Time" (2014)
UMGIn the music video for this song, his second radio single, Sam fights a man who was abusing his girlfriend, freeing up the woman to leave with her baby. This song was actually promoted to pop radio six months after its country release.
5. "Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s" (2020)
UMGHunt said of writing the song's content, "In the 90s, there was no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or more, so break ups in the 90's were not easier. The trick was not filling it up with a bunch of technology references and trying to find the story within it. It's just the world's so much smaller now."
4. "Body Like a Back Road" (2017)
UMGThis song spent 20 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart – this made Sam the solo country artist with the second longest run at the top of the 59-year-old “Hot Country Songs” chart. Hank Snow's, "I'm Moving On" spent 21 weeks at the top.
3. "Kinfolks" (2019)
UMGAnother chart-topper for Hunt. Rolling Stone reviewed the song saying in part, "Acoustic guitar arpeggios that lead into big, bright choruses of banjo, vocal snippets, and wah-wah guitar." Well said.
2. "Leave the Night On" (2014)
UMGThe first song that introduced us to this former football player from Georgia. It was his first single, and his first number one song.
1."Hard to Forget" (2020)
UMGJust as music critics started saying that Sam just wasn’t country enough, he kicked off a song with an original recording of Webb Pearce’s 1953 hit, “There Stands The Glass.”
