Human the Double Album is a cumbersome title for an album that otherwise flows easily, a record that showcases how Cody Johnson has an understated touch that gives his traditional country a lived-in feel. This is a singer who can hold his own duetting with Willie Nelson on Willies classic barroom ballad Sad Songs and Waltzes, a singer who can keep the sentimental God Bless the Boy (Coris Song) from turning saccharine, a singer who swaggers through an open-road anthem like Known for Loving You without succumbing to empty braggadocio. Johnsons emotional facility helps enliven a record that sticks to straight-ahead red dirt country, an album that doesnt deviate from familiar country tropes yet stays fresh thanks to Johnsons unfussy, unhurried execution. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
