Southernality is the debut studio album by American country music band A Thousand Horses. It was released on June 9, 2015 via Republic Nashville.[2] The album includes their debut single "Smoke", which reached number 1 on Country Airplay.
Critical reception[edit]
Giving it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Thom Jurek of Allmusic wrote that "This band has been carefully molded for chart success without sacrificing its identity -- or revealing it fully, either. This album, as thoroughly enjoyable as it is, tells only part of the story. A Thousand Horses need to be witnessed live to be fully appreciated. It will be interesting to see what direction they take in the future and if that aspect of their persona is revealed on their records. For now, Southernality delivers on the band's modern country promise and warrants repeated listening."[1]
