A solid set of songs and performances in first for new label. “Worthy” is Anderson East’s fourth studio album and his first for new label Rounder. It appears just under four years since its predecessor, “Maybe We Never Die” (2021), but continues very much in the vein of East’s core Southern rock/pop/R&B sound. The album was co-produced by East and regular collaborator Dave Cobb. It was recorded at Cobb’s Studio in Savannah and then mixed by East in Nashville.

The song is, for Currie, a description of the need to escape, as he says: “‘Crazy Streets’ came from that feeling of being imposed upon by the city I was living in. Life just felt chaotic.
