Morgan Wallen (Nov. 10) With his debut album, IF I KNOW ME, the hit maker behind “Up Down” (ft. Florida Georgia Line) and “The Way I Talk” lays his cards out on the table: Work hard. Love hard. Party down. Respect the past and make your own future. … Know yourself.  Still only 24 years old, Morgan Wallen works with a vocal blend which marks the spot where interstate blacktop changes over to gravelly, Smoky Mountain backroads. Wallen’s a rock and hip-hop loving country boy with a sound straight out of the modern South.
