Tullahoma is made up of 11 songs.
Momma's House starts with an guitar instrumental which I love giving the listeners a real feel for the album and what's coming. The first verse features a real husky voice from Dustin which I absolutely adore giving you a proper country feel for the song within the first couple of lines. The chorus is one of my favourite parts of the song as it allows the listeners to get a proper feel for the song giving everyone the chance to listen to the songwriter in Dustin. The heartfelt lyrics are ones that got me a little emotional at times. The second verse continues the storytelling within the song in such a wonderful way as it's the part of the song about that time in a relationship where you took your girl/ boy out giving you a real proper feel for the song which I adored. I adored the softer vocal range from Dustin on the final verse has it allowed him to showcase his softer vocals giving the song a little more dynamic to the song - thank you for this wonderful move in the song.
Dirt Road starts with a softer instrumental. The first verse features some heartfelt lyrics right from the start which I loved giving the song such a raw and honest feeling. Hearing Dustin putting his heart of his sleeve within his music is something I love because you can hear the vulnerability in his vocal. The chorus gives us some really wonderful lyrics and one of fun and honesty which you can tell Dustin has clearly done one time or another giving another dynamic to song instantly.
The second verse continues the story within the lyrics in a wonderfully sweet way which you could once again tell Dustin has done at one time or another giving it a proper country boy feel. The lyrics are one of fun and one song I always definitely be having on repeat. The final verse of the song is the chorus which is one amazing move because it allows Dustin to once again show off his softer vocal range.

The second verse is one that Lauren Alaina sings bringing the song to life a little more in the most stunningly beautiful way as you get to hear the lyrics from a woman's point of view of the relationship but lyrics that you could tell Dustin tried to do within the song-writing.
