On Summer Dean’s 2nd full length album she delivers a bakers dozen jukebox gems. The Biggest Life sticks to the classic sounds of Texas country & western music. Produced by Bruce Hornsby(founder of The Next Waltz) & recorded entirely in analog – chocked full with beer swilling, chasing cowboys & fending them off too.. working hard, love life rivals & enough heartbreak for us all to share. The sincerity in Summer Dean’s voice takes you right to the place – the honky tonks, the farm or the front porch… eyes & heart welled with tears. Sometimes feeling helpless but wanting to help with a hug, yet still tough as nails.. Ready for a shot of whiskey and a twirl ‘round the dance floor. Dean & The Biggest Life is an immediate country classic and will certainly hold up to the test of time for decades to come. If you are a fan of country music & I’m guessing you are – The Biggest Life is a must listen.

“The Biggest Life is a unique album in the Summer Dean catalog in how it includes some of those hard country honky tonk songs that she’s become known for, but they’re interspersed with stripped-down and more songwriter-based songs that range from strikingly candid to delightfully corn pone”
