Human: The Double Album is a 2021 album by American country music singer Cody Johnson. It was released in October 2021 via Warner Music Nashville. The album contains eighteen tracks on two separate discs. Its lead single is "'Til You Can't".

Content[]

Johnson was inspired to write songs about the rodeo after the commercial success of "Dear Rodeo", a duet with Reba McEntire. He sought songwriters that, according to Billboard, were "familiar with the song structures and styles of songwriting popular with ‘90s country music."^[2] In advance of the album's release, "'Til You Can't" was selected as the lead single and was released to country radio in October 2021.^[3]

Critical reception[]

Rating it 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for AllMusic that "Johnson's emotional facility helps enliven a record that sticks to straight-ahead red dirt country, an album that doesn't deviate from familiar country tropes yet stays fresh thanks to Johnson's unfussy, unhurried execution."^[4]
