Sam Hunt will release his new album “Southside” into a musical environment that Lil Nas X, Blanco Brown and others would tell you Hunt helped shape.

You’d already been lying relatively low over the last couple of years while you made this new album. Were you well prepared for enforced homebody-dom?

Yeah, but after spending last year around the house and a good bit of the year before, I will say I’m getting antsy. I think I overcorrected for the three or four years I toured my first record.I guess I’m looking at the next year, year and a half more than I am the next two weeks or months. I’ve always felt like if I have music that I’m going to put out and it’s ready, I don’t want to sit around and wait for the perfect time. I’d rather put it out immediately.

I don’t know. I’m really happy with this record, but whether I can do better going forward — whether I can beat it, whatever that even means — I’m not sure. This is what I got. Did it feel different to write about your personal life given that listeners now know things about you and the people close to you? Do you give people a heads-up?

I make sure that I always play the songs for anybody who might feel like they’re a part of them. My wife, she’s a really authentic person. I can be a chameleon in a lot of ways; I can kind of adapt to whatever situation I’m in. But she just is who she is, and she can’t fake it. She likes the idea of me putting out songs that are more real instead of songs that give the impression we’re living this lifestyle of no worries.Right — which is kind of how I would normally lean.
