With his unmistakable baritone twang and a unique blend of Country, Rock, and Rhythm and Blues, Don Louis is quickly becoming the name on everyone’s lips. His EMPIRE debut album, Liquor Talkin’, is a 12-track powerhouse that showcases not just his vocal chops but his ability to craft songs that demand to be cranked up loud and proud.

From the moment you hit play, Liquor Talkin’ grabs hold and doesn’t let go. Each track on the album is packed with personality, offering a little something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a rowdy night out or a quiet moment of reflection, Don’s got you covered.

Boot-Stomping Anthems and Flirtatious Outpourings

The title track “Liquor Talkin’,” a full-blown, boot-stomping jam that’s as infectious as it is fun. It’s the kind of song that feels like a Saturday night party distilled into three and a half minutes. And if you’re looking for more of the same, “Footloose” delivers another dose of adrenaline, guaranteed to get you moving.

But it’s not all high-octane energy. Don shows his flirtatious side with tracks like “She’s Trouble” and “Buckle Bumpin’,” where his voice oozes charm and swagger. These songs are playful, filled with the kind of lyrical winks and nods that make you feel like you’re in on the joke.

Heartbreak and Healing

While Liquor Talkin’ is undeniably fun, it’s also deeply personal. Louis bares his soul on tracks like “Stick To Whiskey” and “Drunk And Alone,” where he confronts heartbreak head-on. These songs are raw and real, offering listeners a glimpse into the more vulnerable side of his artistry.

One of the album’s standout moments is “Tough Pill To Swallow,” a track that delves into facing one’s demons with brutal honesty. It’s a powerful reminder that even the toughest exterior can hide deep-seated struggles. And then there’s “Give Me A Song,” a track that speaks to the healing power of music itself, offering solace in the midst of life’s storms.

Reflecting on the Journey

As the album winds down, Don Louis takes a moment to reflect on his journey with “Long Time Comin’.” It’s a track that feels like a victory lap, celebrating the hard work and determination that have brought him to this point. But he doesn’t stop there. In “When I’m Gone,” Louis imagines the legacy he wants to leave behind, offering a poignant and thoughtful meditation on what it means to make your mark.

With Liquor Talkin’, Don Louis proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with in the country music scene. His voice is a breath of fresh air, his songs are packed with emotion and energy, and his debut album is a testament to the talent that’s been brewing in Texas for years. It won’t be long until Don Louis is selling out rooms and celebrating number-one hits—but for now, he’s content to let his music do the talking.
