Background and content

Eagleson stated that "putting this album out is equal parts terrifying and unbelievably rewarding, because it's a collection of songs that really share who I am at my core". [3] He remarked that it was a dream come true to have Musicians Hall of Fame inductees Paul Franklin and Brent Mason play on the album, and that all of the session players "really complemented the sound of this record". [4] [5]

Eagleson chose to re-record a new version of his song "Still Gonna Be You" from his debut album, as well as a country music cover of the 2014 One Direction pop hit "Steal My Girl" for Do It Anyway. [6] The album's release was preceded by its two lead radio singles, and the promotional singles "Honky Talkin'" and "Neon Dreamin'". [7] [8] Eagleson's longtime collaborator Todd Clark produced every track on the album except "Steal My Girl", which was produced by Eagleson's band members Chris Bray and Ben Miller. [9]

Critical reception

James Daykin of Entertainment Focus favourably reviewed the album, referring to it as a "harmonious blend of contemporary and timeless elements," adding that it "delves into life's fundamental aspects: love, family, and personal development". He noted a similar feel to the music of Brooks and Dunn and Dierks Bentley, while opining that Eagleson has "an old soul and a glittering career ahead". [10] An uncredited review from All Country News stated that "from barn burners, tender moments to a reimagined One Direction cover, this album has something for every country fan". The review highlighted "A Lot in a Little Town" as a "career maker", while also noting that the album has a "balance between old school traditionalism with modern storylines". [11] Mary Claire Crabtree of Whiskey Riff favorably reviewed Do It Anyway, calling it "a well-rounded album that you won't want to skip through", while noting it "is filled with fiddle riffs, steel guitar, some light-hearted tracks, and also a few serious lyrics". She also stated that the album "shows that Eagleson is ready to hang with the big dogs of country music". [12]
