Florida Georgia Line, featuring Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelly, splashed onto the scene last year behind the hit single “Cruise.” Their full-length debut record, “Here’s to the Good Times,” was released in December and is at No. 7 on Billboard Magazine’s Country Album chart.

The website Country Weekly said the album lives up to its title, as the disc centers on themes of summertime, women, partying and trucks – in no particular order. The reviewer, Bob Paxman, writes: “And yet it all works. There’s more energy than a year’s supply of caffeine drinks and the songs are simply catchy and infectious.”

There was a man from Spokane …
