Frank Rogers.
Content
The song is a "descriptive picture of a country back road".
Critical reception
Giving it a "B+", Bob Paxman of Nash Country Weekly praised
Smith's "warm, rich voice" and the detail of the lyrics, also
writing that "Thematically...'Backroad Song' isn't high on
originality, but it bubbles over with the brightness of a summer
day." An uncredited review from Taste of Country similarly
praised the lyrics, saying that "'Backroad Song' is country music
you can see and nearly smell. The addition of Rogers is meant to
fine-tune Smith’s sound so he can reach a wider audience. He’s
already got a nice head start over those looking for the same
thing."

January 2016.
