Here Comes the Boom
One year later, Azar released another album on Ride Records entitled "Slide On Over Here". Once again, Azar wrote or co-wrote every song. He told CMT that Seger was one of the primary influences in his songwriting: "he’s pretty much the entire gamut of emotions and I felt like I was leaving some of them in the drawer. So, I pulled them out for this record." Azar co-produced the album with Justin Niebank, while both House and Josh Kelley co-wrote songs and provided backing vocals. Two of the album's singles, "Moo La Moo" and "Sunshine (Everybody Needs a Little)", both made top 40 on Hot Country Songs. The third single, "Hard Road", did not chart. Giving the album four stars "Country Weekly" critic Chris Neal called it a "pitch-perfect progression" from "Indianola". Azar's next album was "Delta Soul, Volume One" in 2011. The album featured four original songs and five re-recordings of previously-released material. James House once again contributed backing vocals. Matt Bjorke of Roughstock reviewed the album favorably, commending Azar's vocal performance along with the inclusion of slide guitar and Hammond organ in the production. The album's re-recording of "Doin' It Right" later appeared on the soundtrack of the 2012 Kevin James film "Here Comes the Boom".
