Spanish Moss

Following the success of Swindell's 2022 album Stereotype, he began work on Spanish Moss. The title of the album was inspired by a golf trip in the 30A region of Florida, when co-writer Jordan Minton asked Swindell what the material hanging from trees was. The phrase "Spanish moss" sparked a memory of Swindell's late father, who once left moss hanging from his truck's gas cap after a visit to Savannah, Georgia.

}} Critics gave Spanish Moss a mixed reception, praising its authenticity and standout moments while criticizing its length and thematic repetition. While tracks like "Forever to Me," "Dale Jr.," "Dirty Dancing," and "Happy Hour Sad" were highlighted for their emotional depth and creative flair, others, such as "'99 Problems" and "One Day" were seen as filler. James Daykin of Entertainment Focus noted that "trimmed down by five or six tracks, this could have been Swindell's most personal and potent project yet." Creed Miller of Country Central also critiqued the album's length, calling it bloated and occasionally dull. He described it as "a grind to listen to... not bad enough to hate, but not good enough to remember."
