Dan + Shay Blew Me Away With Cozy Cover Of Sam Hunt's "Take Your Time"

I fell in love with country music back in middle school for many reasons, one of them being the storytelling aspect. Approximately six months after I became a fan of Dan + Shay, I became hooked on a new artist named Sam Hunt. He was iHeart Radio's "On The Verge" artist prior to his debut album Montevallo coming out on October 27, 2014. This was a way to spotlight the new artist who they knew would have a lot of success, starting with spinning his debut single "Leave The Night On" multiple times a day at all iHeart Country Radio stations. I remember hearing this song on the radio for the first time in 2014, finding it incredibly catching and loving the story being told. I also really thought Hunt's voice stood out. I bought his debut project and absolutely loved every single song, including the second single "Take Your Time". Hunt had a variety of tempo songs on this album, upbeat ones like "Leave The Night On" and also slower ones like "Take Your Time".

Fast forward to June 23, 2016 when Dan + Shay posted an acoustic cover of Hunt's love song "Take Your Time" to their YouTube channel. With the combination of listening to Shay Mooney's comforting, smooth vocals, hearing Dan Smyers' stellar guitar playing and stirring harmonies alongside the lead vocalist (Mooney), the duo sang the song's chorus and bridge. As with the other covers the duo have done that I have written about so far, this one also left me wanting a full rendition, whether it is a full YouTube video or a studio version. In the future, I seriously hope that Dan + Shay make a full album with some of their favorite covers they have done over the years. I know that would make me happy as well as their other fans!
