It\u2019s followed up by \u201c<\/span><b>Oh Lord Virginia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d which definitely feels like a transition from one point in life to another.

Another couple songs came from the Tidewater area of Virginia where I worked with some of my best musical friends and cultivated my songwriting style. Most were written from my new home in Northwest Ohio, and still others were written from the road in between.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The standouts on the album are \u201c<\/span><b>Madly On (Mad Leon)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d which is a epic ballad about a world that keeps spinning despite deep-seeded passions, and \u201c<\/span><b>Hard Road To Go<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d which feel like the a normal day in the life of someone just trying to get by. While I\u2019m pretty positive on the album, these songs (along with \u201c<\/span><b>Don&#8217;t Say Goodbye<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d) perfectly sum up <\/span><b>Adkins\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> heartfelt themes and songwriting style. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, <\/span><b><i>Brokedown Free Man Blues<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is almost like a musical that\u2019s full of honest emotions conveyed through song. Something that you can also just sing-along during the first time you listen to it because it just feels familiar and warm, which comes from <\/span><b>James Adkins\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> raw, yet clever songwriting that illustrates the humdrum parts of life in a nice piece of storytelling from track 1 to track 10.
