This song shows how far Yelawolf has progressed and why this new record is so good. The show neared its end with his lyrically powerful ballad, “American You.” A song whose chorus projects the perfect American child but whose verses tell another story. His country/bluegrass roots showed through lyrically on the songs “Tennessee Love,” “Johnny Cash,” and “Whiskey In The Bottle.” His pop and rock roots were present in the songs “Let’s Roll” (which features Kid Rock), and “Best Friend” (which features Eminem). The set also featured pure rap songs “Pop The Trunk” and “Trunk Musik.” Those would be just part of the genres Wolf would cover in his 23-song set. Just three songs in came “Good To Go,” a pure hip hop song though played live over bass and rock guitars along with his DJ. The show in Detroit began with the song “Outer Space,” the first track on Love Story. It’s hard to put a title on it, but there’s one thing that’s for sure it’s 100% real and from the heart. It currently sits at number one on the Billboard Hip Hop album charts but has a little of everything. Love Story is not a country record, or a rock record, or a rap record. Those roots show more on this new album than on his other releases. Growing up in Alabama, it is clear where he gets his southern roots. The new record and live show features a bit of rock, rap, country, and bluegrass. Having collaborated with artists from every genre including Kid Rock, Ed Sheeran, Travis Barker, Lil John, and Eminem who signed him to Shady Records in 2011. Wolf would best be described as a man of many genres. Yelawolf began his 2015 tour in Detroit in support of his latest release, Love Story. Yelawolf kicks off Love Story tour with an electric show in Detroit.
