Bo12: In Six Minutes you see the HEART of what makes the Country genre one of the most vital and relevant threads of American music. From Chesney's amazing intro to this song: open, honest, real. To his doing the duet with the writer of the song (Madraca Borg) and his shout out to his duetess on the recorded track (Grace Potter). To his awesomely strong, sinuously expressive vocals--with no, none, ninguno, studio effects--a hallmark of all great Country (exquisite, tight musicianship live or in studio). To the facts of this song itself: a simple plaint; a simple fact of life in the United States; of all humanity on Earth. The best music of 2012.
