Canaan Smith - this country singer's 2nd single; "Love You Like That" has struck a chord to listeners and radio stations since it was initially released. This single has reached it's way to charting on the Top 30 and has given this singer attention that was not there before. This country singer is enjoying the ride as being a gifted singer/songwriter.
Where people may not even realize they got their introduction to Canaan is through his music writing from co-writing the hit; "Runaway" for Love and Theft. From there he released his first single being; "We Got Us" in 2012 with unfortunately no EP nor album until now with his 2nd single. The great news, is that this time around Canaan through UMG Nashville record label is now this March going to release his first full length album which will feature his current single.
I personally as a country music fan have not heard of this artist until this single that is enjoyable to the ears. It did not take my breath away though did notice his talented vocals. I as a music fan will be looking forward to Canaan's first album which of course will be covered on here, enjoy!

You Like That’ finds a home between modern country that haters love to
ridicule and the traditional sound that helped build Nashville. Vocally,
Smith’s voice has all the grit of a glass of chardonnay, but he turns
in a performance that’s honest and seductive.
The Virginia native penned the song with Brett Beavers and Jim Beavers. The trio’s lyrics are colorful, familiar and lasting. The metaphors they use throughout the chorus are sharp and effective, and Smith wraps his arms around this love story like he’s saying goodbye at the airport.
“The way I wanna kiss you is / Slow as the Mississippi, strong as a fifth of whiskey / Steady as a Tom Petty track / I wanna love, wanna love you like that,” he sings.
Emotionally, the love song hits like a shot of Jack. The production fits Smith’s natural tendencies. He comes across as a sweet kid with a little bit of a rough edge — a tattooed Romeo in need of someone to settle down with. Perhaps that’s just an assumption built upon the first verse of ‘Love You Like That,’ but it fits.
“Hey girl, I’m just a small town run around / I get my kicks out on the outskirts of town / I could never do it like a pretty city boy / I’m more a fishin’ in the dark, nitty gritty boy.”
