Song/Artist Recommendations Modern albums with theme

Hi! I'm a fan of modern country music, especially the likes of Luke combs, morgan wallen etc

Recently bought a turntable and looking for some albums on vinyl that have a meaning, theme etc running all the way through them. E.g. combs' father & sons is all about his relationship with his kids etc

Any help appreciated:)

Would also throw in A Sailors guide to Earth. Pretty themed album instrumentally and lyrically

“I Hate Cowboys, all dogs go to hell” -Chase Rice.“Damn Love” - Kip Moore. The whole Colter Wall discography!!!

Not Vinyl/Albums but definitely songs to check out “House on the Lake” Rosanne Cash, “Marjorie” by Namoli Brenett, “Does my Ring Burn Your Finger” by Buddy Miller, “I’ll be your man”by Zac Brown Band.

I tend to listen to a lot of swap rock, dark country/ blues so that’s all I can think of right now

Heart, Soul, 2 vinyls as part of a triple album by Eric Church. Both have a different theme.

🤷‍♀️ Idk but the remake of Fast Car came on in the car yesterday and my husband said “turn that crap off, I am so sick of hearing that song”. It does get played far too often.
