Album Review: Lonestar - “Never Enders”

Iconic band returns with debut for new label Shanachie Enertainment.

Lonestar’s new album starts off with a hopeful love song in the title track “Never Enders” and instantly showcases why the band has become one of Nashville’s best-known bands. While they’ve gone through their own ups and downs as a band, they’ve proven they’re never enders themselves as they move onto a new record label for the release of this record.

Featuring ten total tracks, Never Enders finds ways to update the band’s sound to keep them current with today’s audiences but thanks to solid songwriting, production and vocals, the band remains the Lonestar fans have loved for two decades now. Standouts include “I Know It Was You,” and “My Own Hometown” while “This Time,” and “I’ve Been Wrong Before” showcase the band’s ability to be a bit of a 90s revival with superior ballads and vivid lyrics. Finally, "I Want A Love" will remind fans a bit of an updated "No News" in style and sound.

It’d be easy to dismiss Lonestar as a band who is past their prime but as Never Enders proves, the band has re-found their groove and because of that, Lonestar delivers an album as timeless as anything they’ve ever done.
