Walker Hayes Country Stuff (2021)

2021 was a massive year for Walker Hayes, who found a surprise smash in his catchy, clever celebration of fast casual dining, “Fancy Like.” The Grammy-nominated track marked the singer-songwriter’s first No. 1 country hit since making his major-label debut back in 2010, proving that Nashville’s reputation as a “10-year town” still holds water. “My producer, Shane McAnally, when it all started happening [with ‘Fancy Like’], he was like, ‘This isn't supposed to happen,’” Hayes tells Apple Music.
