Jason Aldean releases new song, “Try That In A Small Town,” out now, May 19th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Superstar, Jason Aldean never shies away from controversy and speaking his truth in his music. In his new song, “Try That In A Small Town,” Aldean speaks candidly about the values instilled in him from small-town living and much more.
Although the song was written by Kurt Allison, Tully Kennedy, Kelley Lovelace and Neil Thrasher, the singer clearly connected to the lyrics and the in-your-face melody. The song tackles taboo subjects, but at its core, it is a song about small town values and how it is important not to lose them.
“Try that in a small town // See how far ya make it down the road // ‘Round here, we take care of our own // You cross that line, it won’t take long // For you to find out, I recommend you don’t // Try that in a small town // Got a gun that my granddad gave me // They say one day they’re gonna round up // Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck”
“Try That In A Small Town” marks Aldean’s first radio single off his next studio album, which he is currently in the studio working on! Check back for more updates.

Erin Kinsey releases her EP, Bet My Heart out now, May 19th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new project here.
Records/Columbia Nashville artist, Erin Kinsey is delivering a stellar EP to follow her debut project, 40 East. Her new record, Bet My Heart is a seven-song project, all written by the singer, that depicts all of the emotions and experiences that Kinsey has gone through, since her last release. Filled with songs to fit every setting, Bet My Heart is an EP you are going to want to listen to from start to finish.
“This project is one that really wraps up so many feelings I’ve had since my first EP – the good, the great, and the difficult,” shared Kinsey in a recent press release “‘Bet My Heart’ shows all of my angles, and in such an honest way, that I wasn’t able to lean in half way. Even though it might have saved me from some heart break along the way, there’s no reward like the one when betting it all actually works out!”
The project kicks off with “Boys in Boots,” a fun-loving song about falling in love and knowing your type. Similarly on the title track, Kinsey relishes in an optimistic and romantic take on falling in love and jumping in head first. Both of the songs convey a sense of excitement when it comes to romance and all of its quirks.
“I’d bet my heart on the wild in your Tennessee smile // The stay in your brown Tecovas // The want in your eyes setting me on fire // The lean on me in your shoulders // And I don’t know what’s in the cards // But I’ve known from the start of it // I’m all in on us like Vegas at midnight // I’m willing to bet my heart on it”
On the flip-side, both “Stayed a Summer” and “Little More Cowboy” reflect on love lost, heartbreak, and missed opportunities. The former, one of our favorite songs off the project, speaks to the “right person, wrong time” relationship. “Stayed a Summer” is nostalgic, yet heartbreaking in the best way. On “Little More Cowboy,” Kinsey laments about what her ex is doing without her. The song is another taste at the singer-songwriter’s honesty and vulnerability.
Of course, Kinsey’s song “Always Never” also pull from her own heartbreak. She opens up more candidly about her break-up from a longterm partner, sharing the intricacies of loving someone but the timing being off.
“You were always saying the right things // just never saying what you really mean // always had a leaving tendency, just never thought that you’d be leaving me // Six years, two months, day three // but it was always never meant to be // knew you well enough to know you need // It was always never gonna be me”
However on “Vegas,” Kinsey explores what it would be like to fall in love and get hitched to a stranger in moments. While the song may just be fun and creativity personified, it provides a hopeful moment to all the heartbroken. The lyric “Ill go wherever love takes us” depicts everything we think this album is meant to be about.
Kinsey wraps up the stellar project with an acoustic song called “Handful.” Written by Kinsey with Josh Rosen and Kyle Clark, the songstress shares how she is in a relationship. With lyrics like “I’ll be your perfect kinda crazy,” and “Babe you’ll know it’s worth it,” she clearly knows herself.
Kinsey is definitely an artist to look out for. She creates music that she is connected to, while also connecting with her growing fanbase. Bet My Heart is a solid project from the rising artist.

Boys in Boots – Erin Kinsey, Jordan Minton, Travis Wood

Harper Graces releases new song “Oh Say Can You See,” out now, May 19th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Here at Country Swag, we love to champion women in country artist, including the talented rising star, Harper Grace. Grace first caught our attention with her recent single, “Sparkle,” and now she is back with an even more personal track. Her new song, “Oh Say Can You See” is an incredible, autobiographical track that is sure to tug at your heartstrings.
Written by Grace with Alex Kline and Scott Stepakoff, “Oh Say Can You See” is a letter to her younger self to remember her worth no matter what. According to the singer, when she was eleven years old, she experienced bullying, after she performed the national anthem for the first time. The song hints at those experience, even using the clever “Oh Say Can You See” line throughout the song, and of course, as the title.
“Oh darling right now it’s hard to understand that // This moment right here is gonna write your anthem / Oh say you can see // It don’t matter what they think // And sometimes walking through the dark is the only way out // Hey younger me // You’ll get back off your knees // And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd // Oh say can you see // me now”
Full of emotion and confidence, Grace delivers a song that many of us needed to hear, while also attracting new fans to her craft.

Bailey Zimmerman shares his debut album, Religiously. The Album, officially out now, May 12th on all streaming platforms. Learn more and listen to the new album below.
Since exploding onto the music scene, Bailey Zimmerman has been lauded as one of country music’s newest and most exciting future superstars. The Warner Music Nashville/Elektra recording artist’s debut album, Religiously. The Album., is out now and is set to prove why.
The Louisville, IL native co-wrote 11 of the album’s 16 tracks as a follow up to his debut project, 2022’s EP Leave the Light On. With “Fall in Love” and “Rock and a Hard Place” already topping the US Country Airplay chart, it’s Zimmerman’s unique brand of radio-ready country rock that is continuing to win over new fans.
With a weathered voice, a growl full of emotion, and stories way beyond his age, the talented singer-songwriter takes listeners on a journey through heartbreak, heartache, and healing on much of Religiously, those themes permeating their way through a multitude of tracks including the single-worthy titular track. Here, he grapples with the grief of a relationship ending, noting that she seems happy, just not with him. “You look happy I guess, got the life that you wanted,” he growls, voice breaking with emotion. “But it ain’t with me.”
For Zimmerman, it’s clear from Religiously that he’s had his heart broken. “From 18 to 20, I was just kind of numb all the time,” he reveals. “Now I’ve got emotion back. I can feel things. Writing music has really helped me get out of that state.”
Those emotions weave their way through songs like “Fix’N to Break,” “Fadeaway,” “Warzone,” “Get to Gettin’ Gone,” “Chase Her,” and the album’s closing track, “Is This Really Over?” Each of these find him in relationship limbo, wondering where things stand and if it’s time to call it quits or keep fighting. “Fix’N to Break” opens almost angelically before transitioning into a sparse, country ballad that’s an immediate standout of the album, Zimmerman comparing his relationship to a home that’s falling apart.
Likewise, “Warzone” uses solid metaphors in its lyrics to compare a relationship to a battlefield, the background music fraught with darkness. On the tuned down guitar-heavy track, he sings about “living in a warzone with a heart full of bullet holes and boarded up windows.” Alternatively, “Is This Really Over?” features a more lush and airy arrangement despite tackling the end of a relationship. It’s an interesting contradiction of lyrics versus melody as he could easily be singing about drinking a margarita on the beach, but is instead asking “Is this really over? // ’Cause I need some closure // And it’s 10 a.m. and I’m still gettin’ sober // Just call it a bad night,” He coos, showing a different side of his voice. “Don’t call it the last time // I feel that goodbye gettin’ closer and closer // Is this really over?”
“Forget About You” finds him admitting that “getting over you feels so wrong,” while “Where It Ends” finds him channeling his late 90’s alternative rock side, his voice sounding like it would’ve fit in perfectly in a decade where he wasn’t even born yet. Meanwhile, “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” is a daring Johnny Cash cover. On the homage to the man in black, Zimmerman manages to stay true to the hand-clapping and swampy vibe of the original, adding a bit of his own take on the classic that could easily be released today.
“Forget About You” and “Pain Won’t Last” find him trying to move on from his heartbreak in an almost anthemic way, assuring himself and listeners that things are bound to get better, no matter how bleak things may seem. “You’re on the ground with scars from your past,” he proclaims on the latter. “You might be hurting now but the pain won’t last.”
“Found Your Love” is a simple and beautiful ode to falling in love in a special way, a bright spot amongst the heartbreak on the album. It’s the kind of simple ballad that would make a perfect wedding song or TikTok anniversary montage. With female background vocals and Jenee Fleenor’s haunting fiddle, it’s a special moment on the album, Zimmerman proclaiming, “I was a reckless child, a dead-end mile, living my life on the run… Never thought I’d hang it up, ’til I found your love.”
In many ways, Bailey Zimmerman’s Religiously. The Album. takes listeners through the five stages of grief after the ending of a relationship. Through the LP’s sixteen songs, there’s denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance. He does this with the growl of a rock star mixed with the heart of a country storyteller.
