A smash upon its February 2017 release, "Body Like a Back Road" stayed on the top of Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for 34 weeks, crashing the previous record held by Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise," which topped out at 24 weeks. It also spent three weeks at the top of the Country Airplay chart. "Body Like a Back Road" was such a hit that Hunt decided to take his time delivering a follow-up album, or even a second single from the second album. "Downtown's Dead" finally appeared in May 2018, winding up peaking at 15 on the Country Airplay chart. Hunt's sophomore album, Southside, arrived in April 2020 and included "Downtown's Dead," as well as the tracks "Kinfolks," "Hard to Forget," and "Body Like a Back Road." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
