Party-hearty

My family was a circle of all kinds of people—educators, high school dropouts, drop-dead beauties, a dentist, a mechanic, party-hearties, the serious ones, the quiet ones, talkers, gamblers, some in the mainstream, others who lived right on the edge, some who had gone over the edge.

In short, “Cruise” is bro-country: music by and of the tatted, gym-toned, party-hearty young American white dude.
