Shy Carter Finally Feels at Home in Country Music
It s been a decade since country music audiences first met Shy Carter. At 25, he helped write Sugarland s Top 5 hit Stuck Like Glue, a song that s remarkable for Jennifer Nettles rap break.
Later he d partner with Billy Currington to write It Don t Hurt Like It Used To and add a rap break on the hitmaker s cover of Banana Pancakes, a Jack Johnson cover. That was definitely a stretch of the genre, Carter says, smiling (always smiling) as he reflects on his early pursuits as a singer and songwriter. Putting the soulful melodies in there, it was so well embraced that, as time went on, Florida Georgia Line came out, and Sam Hunt, and all these people that were stretching the genre.”
