Introduction
“A Little More Country Than That” is a heartfelt country song co-written by Rory Feek, Don Poythress, and Wynn Varble. Originally intended for Blaine Larsen, the song found its way to Easton Corbin, who released it as his debut single in 2009. The track resonated with audiences, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in April 2010, making Corbin the first male solo artist in seven years to achieve this with a debut single.
