Florida Georgia Line-Anything Goes (Deluxe Edition) [2LP] (180 Gram, gatefold)SS Florida Georgia Line-Anything Goes (Deluxe Edition) [2LP] (180 Gram, gatefold)SS

In country music, there are the rule breakers and the rule makers – artists who defy trends to pave something new, something original, something maybe a little shocking at the time. Johnny Cash. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Alabama. Waylon Jennings. Garth Brooks. These are the forces who took the bones of an American musical legacy and burst through with their own unique voice – leaving, in their wake, the seeds of the future. And now, on the tail end of a whirlwind few years that catapulted them to the top of the charts and to the center of fans' hearts across the world, is Florida Georgia Line, claiming their spot in the grand tradition of these Music Row renegades.

How'd they do it? One simple mantra, really. "Anything Goes," says the Georgia half of FGL, Tyler Hubbard. "It says it all. No boundaries, no genre, no rules." Living according to their own doctrine, in their own completely singular creative space, has become the lifeblood of Florida Georgia Line. So much so, that when it became time make the follow-up to their smash trendsetting – not to mention chart-topping, 2X Platinum debut – Here's To The Good Times, there was only one option: Anything Goes. "There's a little something for everybody in there," adds Hubbard. "If that helps shape where country is heading, or breaks down walls, then great. But it's just what Florida Georgia Line has always done."

Anything Goes is full of odes to the good times, from the twang-reggae "Sun Daze," to the wickedly delicious "Good Good" to the rowdy title track that's both rock and bluegrass. But that doesn't mean there aren't more serious, sincere moments: take the lead single "Dirt," for one. It's some personal moments and milestones – marriage, engagements, loss and mourning – that spurred some of Anything Goes' contemplative notes, like "Angel" or "Like You Ain't Even Gone." But it's all part of FGL's mission to show a complete package to their fans, and to be with them at every moment in their lives, from the good to the bad.
