Background and development

edit

Pardi released his debut studio album Write You a Song on January 14, 2014. It garnered favorable reviews from critics, who praised the twangy instrumentation and lyrical content.[1][2] To promote the album, Pardi spent the rest of 2014 touring across the United States.[3] After the release of his debut EP The B-Sides, 2011–2014 in 2015, Pardi embarked on his All Time High Tour with country music duo the Brothers Osborne, during which he started performing new material for his second country album.[4] Each song was recorded with a full band, as Pardi wanted to create the feel of a live recording.[5] He also wanted them to have the "traditional country soul" while following the genre's modern standards.[5] California Sunrise was co-produced by Bart Butler, who also worked on Write You a Song.[6]

Music and lyrics

edit

The opening track "Out of Style" was described by Pardi as a "song within a song" about an aspiring artist moving to Nashville to write a song that evolves into an ode about the country music tropes used throughout generations, including Jesus and alcohol.[7][8] Utilizing pedal steel and drums for its melody, the song was noted by Beville Dunkerley of Rolling Stone for having the underlying message of how Pardi's brand of classic country through a modern sound has remained timeless, even as various subgenres have played throughout the airwaves.[8] "Cowboy Hat" was described as Pardi "putting a Bakersfield twist on a song George Strait might have recorded 20 years ago."[9] "Head Over Boots" was created in late 2014, when Pardi was at a Texas dancehall seeing couples dance to Merle Haggard and Bob Wills, and a chorus melody came to his mind that stuck with him as he worked on the instrumentation and lyrics with co-writer Luke Laird in January 2015.[10][11] "Night Shift" takes the employment term to describe an intimate encounter that a male worker has with his lover after an exhausting day at work.[12] "Can't Turn You Down" revolves around a man with awareness that he is better off leaving his former lover and resisting her, but finds it practically impossible to commit to doing so.[13]

"Dirt on My Boots" is a "blue collar love song" about a man finishing work to get together with his girl.[7][14] Pardi was initially put off by the track's demo being "super-hip-hop", but fell in love with the lyrics that he added fiddle and steel guitar alongside to give the song more of a country sound.[7] "She Ain't in It" was described as a "slow, fiddle and steel powered love-lost song" about a man attempting to move on after a still hurting breakup.[9][15] It was originally going to be recorded by Strait but became available for recording by Pardi afterwards.[16] "All Time High" and "Heartache on the Dance Floor" were both written on the same day that Pardi and co-writers Bart Butler and Brice Long were staying in Wichita, Kansas.[17] "Paycheck" is a tribute to the "piece of paper" that workers acquire to support themselves, while they have "a little bit of fun" as well.[13] "Lucky Tonight" revolves around a man "attempting to bounce back from heartache."[9] The closing title track on California Sunrise was created when Pardi wanted to write a West Coast shout-out for telling the story of "the beauty of California and the beauty of a relationship", aiming for it to be accompanied by a modern take on the "heavy acoustic and bouncy sound" associated with Bob Seger, Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey.[8]

California Sunrise was met with positive reviews from music critics. Jason Scott of One Country praised Pardi for crafting "hefty lyricism with inescapable guitar solos and robust melodies" on the album that capture the traditional stylings of Garth Brooks and Randy Travis, concluding by writing: "Pardi lets the music [and] the instruments and his voice live together, unfettered. He tells heartfelt stories, and [he] does it well. You can't get much better than that."[48] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted how the album has "space for softer tones and slower tempos," which allow for "experimentation with rhythms," and that Pardi's everyman image can hold him back sometimes, but concluded that "this workingman's diligence is a key element in turning California Sunrise into a frills-free, sturdily crafted collection."[47] Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time also gave note of the traditional instrumentation and image present throughout the album, concluding that: "Maybe from Pardi's perch on the music scene, what was old may be new again. Maybe, just maybe, Pardi and his hat are indeed "something new" these days. And while being called a hat act was a pejorative once upon a time, Pardi and his ilk ought to proudly wear that moniker - as long as he remembers what the hat once stood for."[49]

Rolling Stone ranked California Sunrise number 10 on their list of the 40 Best Country Albums of 2016. The magazine's writer Jon Freeman said the album is "compelling proof that traditionalism doesn't have to sound old fashioned," noting the mixture of fiddle and steel guitar with an "electrified Bakersfield twang" through modern production, concluding that: "[W]here many of his traditionalist peers looked backward for studied versions of the past, Jon Pardi kept his eyes firmly trained on the present."[50] Uproxx ranked it number 17 on their list of the 20 Best Country Albums of 2016. The website's writer Caitlin White said that Pardi knows how to write traditional country narratives that don't sound like retreads and feel like a "fabulous break from crossover pop influences." She concluded by calling the album "an excellent sophomore effort from a star-in-the-making, keep an eye on this one, he's about ready for the arena circuit."[51] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin placed six tracks from California Sunrise on his top 10 list of Pardi's best songs: "She Ain't in It" at number one, "Head Over Boots" at number two, "Dirt on My Boots" at number three, "Paycheck" at number five, "Can't Turn You Down" at number eight, and "Heartache on the Dance Floor" at number 10.[13] In 2018, it was nominated for Album of the Year at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards, ultimately losing to From A Room: Volume 1 (2017) by Chris Stapleton.[52]

California Sunrise debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard 200 and atop the Top Country Albums chart, with first-week sales of 29,000 album-equivalent units, 24,000 of which were pure sales.[53] It became Pardi's first number one album on the latter chart.[54] On the Billboard 200, the album left the top 100 on the week of September 10, 2016, and has spent 217 weeks on the chart.[55][56] California Sunrise was certified platinum by the RIAA in the US on November 19, 2018.[57] It has sold 279,100 copies in the country as of November 2019,[58] and has sold 1,076,000 album-equivalent units by March 2020.[59] In Canada, the album debuted at number 93 on the Canadian Albums chart for the week of July 8, 2016.[60] It later peaked at number 51 on the week of February 25, 2017, and stayed on the chart for a total of 21 weeks.[61][62] California Sunrise was certified platinum by Music Canada in Canada on January 11, 2019.[63]
