“Drinking Class”
Lee Brice
Written by David Frasier, Ed Hill, and Josh Kear
I’m always going to prefer a drinking anthem written for people who actually work for a living. “Drinking Class” is all about going out on Friday night to let off steam after a long work week.
I can see this being a great bar sing along, given its solidarity with all that is blue collar. For me, it’s another one of those songs that has an interesting beginning but dissolves into a bland chorus. The energy that it needs to take off never shows up.
Brice is one of our better singers and I appreciate his commitment to releasing music for and about adults. I just wish this particular record was better.
