Song Review: Tyller Gummersall "Heartbreak College"

-Harriett

Honing his craft since he was eight years old, singer-songwriter Tyller Gummersall grabbed the ears of traditional country fans and critics alike with the release of his third studio album, Long Ride Home, in 2016.  The record deftly filled the gap between modern mainstream country and more Americana- leaning offerings.  He’s recently been back in the studio in Nashville and has a new single, “Heartbreak College” and fans of his previous releases will not be disappointed.

Everything about “Heartbreak College” is bona fide country. The smooth, lilting twang of guitar lends itself to grabbing a partner for a round of Two-Stepping on the dance floor while the relatable lyrics lend themselves to grabbing a buddy and raising a glass in solidarity to learning love’s lessons the hard way.
 
“I was in your shape yesterday. I’m familiar with that brand of tear-stained smile. You gain a whole lot of knowledge, when you graduate from Heartbreak College. I was in your shape just yesterday. There’s a class on which glass is best for washing tears away. The professors all have common names like Jack, Jim and Jose.”
