Hollywood Gold really covers a lot of ground musically, almost to the extent of you wouldn’t exactly know where to place it. There is plenty of the traditional honestly and typical feels of the Texas sound, there is an integration into the direction that music in Nashville is going without going too far on the production side, there is a lot of treading the line between country and Americana leaning further towards the later at times in a really fresh way, there is a lot of folk influence, you hear a slick sense of southern blues, there are sublime rock and pop round guitar sounds which is all intertwined with pure songwriting. The record is produced by Jon Randall Stewart who is also one of McCollum’s co-writers on the final track of the six and has you being drawn towards classic rock sounds such as The Eagles or Tom Petty along with aspects of Goo Goo Dolls and even John Mayer in the structure of the songs.
