Slide On Over Here is the fourth studio album by American country music artist Steve Azar. It was released on August 4, 2009, via Ride Records. The album includes the singles "Moo La Moo", which charted in the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and "Sunshine (Everybody Needs a Little)", which peaked at number 27.
The album debuted and peaked at number 57 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart, becoming Azar's first charting album on that chart since Waitin' on Joe in 2002.
Critical reception
Giving the album four stars out of five, Country Weekly critic Chris Neal called it a "pitch-perfect progression" from Azar's last album (2008's Indianola), saying that it retained Azar's Mississippi-based musical influences "while expanding its musical scope."
