Post Malone, for his 6^th studio album, F-Trillion (Long Bed), brought in 15 mostly country artists to help him put together his first all country effort. For the finished product he only needed 6—to act as pallbearers.

Except for the first two tracks, Wrong Ones and Finer Things, his twang belts out sing-songy mono-melodic tunes, more suitable for his past life as a rapper, than asking the likes of Hank Williams, Jr., Dolly Parton, and Tim McGraw to help him transition into mainstream country.

Speaking with Kelleigh Bannen of Apple Music about his latest effort Post Malone says, “I’ve always wanted to make a record like this, but for the longest time it seemed so inaccessible, because I didn’t know how the hell it worked.”  Maybe for his 7^th studio album he will have learned how it works.
