Jordan Rowe collaborates with Lainey Wilson on brand new song, “Mama Ain’t Jesus” available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.
Country newcomer and Georgia-native, Jordan Rowe released a brand new track today (July 23), “Mama Ain’t Jesus” featuring Lainey Wilson. The gentle, somber ballad will appear on his upcoming debut album, Bad Case of the Good Ole Boydue out August 6th.
“I bet she’ll walk them streets of gold with a silver medal // And while the good lord comes back down to get us she’ll fill in // I ain’t been yet, but I’ve got a glimpse of Heaven // Cause Mama ain’t Jesus but she’s a close second”
We’ve seen Rowe’s fun side with the title track. Now, we get to hear his sensitive side with his ode to mothers, “Mama Ain’t Jesus.” Similar to how Luke Bryan, his childhood idol, honors moms in “Most People Are Good,” Rowe expresses the same gratitude towards his own mother; a good Christian who would give you the shirt off her back if it was the last thing she had. He claims that she isn’t quite Jesus himself, but a close second. Wilson, who is riding the success of her top-15 single “Things A Man Oughta Know,” provides beautiful backing vocals on the track. Other songs that will be featured on the album include “Who Needs You,” “I Didn’t Sleep Last Night,” and four other unreleased tracks.
Rowe incorporates a traditional country sound with a modern-day twist into his music. His influences growing up include artists such as Alan Jackson, Joe Diffie, and Luke Bryan. He has a few dates on his tour schedule—for tickets, head to his website. Wilson will be touring with Jason Aldean and HARDY on Aldean’s Back in the Saddle Tour, which will hit the New York/New Jersey Area at PNC Bank Arts Center and Jones Beach August 6th and 7th, respectively.

Restless Road’s new song, “Hometown Tonight” is available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.
Just last month, Kane Brown’s flagship artist, Restless Road released their catchy single “Bar Friends.” Today the talented trio are giving fans even more to be excited about and keeping the momentum going. Restless Road officially dropped their heartfelt new song “Hometown Tonight.”
The new song is one of those songs that will have all the girls swooning. The trio lean into the idea that home can be with your person, rather than a specific place. Comforting, romantic, and nostalgic, “Hometown Tonight” hits the mark in every way. Of course, the individual talent of each member shines through too, but it is their harmonies that continue to be centerstage.
“You had big city dreams // Flashing lights another street // 500 miles from the gravel where we used to meet // Right in the middle of my black chevy bench seat // We’d name the starslayin’ underneath the pine trees // You say you’re missing that simple way of living // that picture-perfect memory, I can paint it in the minute // let me be your home, home, home, hometown tonight”
The trio are an act to look out for. They are growing a loyal following by the minute and are truly talented in their own right. With just a few original songs under their belt, they are already making a name for themselves in country music.

Laine Hardy’s new song, “Authentic” is available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.
Country newcomer and 2019 American Idol winner, Laine Hardy released a brand new track today (July 23) called “Authentic.” This southern rock-inspired jam follows his latest single, “Memorize You.” Hardy performed the latter on The Bachelorette earlier this month.
Written by Jessi Alexander, Matt Jenkins, and David Lee Murphy, “Authentic” mentions some of the typical “good ole boy” hobbies, like driving a truck around in a field, wearing boots until they’re completely worn out, and sipping something strong out of a jar. You can hear the Michael Knox production on the track with its heavy use of percussion and electric guitar.
“It’s tried and true can’t buy it new // If you think you can you don’t get it // If it burns your lips when you take a sip // you’re gonna know that it’s authentic”
The Louisiana-native plans on having new music out this fall. He will hit the road this summer for festivals, supporting Toby Keith, and headlining his Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. He will also make his Grand Ole Opry debut on August 28. For tickets, visit his website.

Lily Rose’s new song, “Know My Way Around” is available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new song.
Artist to watch, Lily Rose has blown us away with each of her releases this year. The songstress first went viral on social media with her song “Villain.” She quickly followed the track with the touching song “Overnight Sensation” and the vulnerable, “Remind Me of You.” Today, the singer premieres another song to add to her impressive catalog of music called “Know My Way Around.”
Unlike her previous releases, Rose leans into the more fun-loving side of her personality. “Know My Way Around,” written by Avenue Beat’s Savana Santos and hit-songwriter Julian Bunetta, is all about the new girl that catches your eye. The song feels alluring and romantic while keeping up with the pop-country feel of the melody. We love the hopeful nature of the song, as it perfectly captures lust, love, and a summer fling.
“I know my way around my hometown // I know every backroad and red light // Where to get a fake ID and who to call for some weed and where the cops like to sit and hide // Know my way around the barstool // I’ve had a sip of every bottle up on that shelf // and how to have a night full of shots and a few on the rocks and still walk home by myself”
With already nearly 2 million views on TikTok alone, it is clear that “Know My Way Around” is quickly going to become a fan favorite. Fans can catch the single and her others live when Rose opens up for Chris Lane’s ‘Fill Them Boots’ tour this fall.

Dylan Scott’s brand new song “New Truck” is available now, July 23rd on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
On the heels of earning his second number one single with “Nobody,” Dylan Scott is ready for the next chapter in his blossoming career. With a promise of a new record coming soon, Scott debuted a brand new song. “New Truck” is officially out now.
The catchy new song was written by incredible singer-songwriters, HARDY and Hunter Phelps with top songwriters Ben Johnson and Ashley Gorley. As soon as HARDY sent that track over to Scott, he knew he wanted to cut it. Ironically though, the singer sharedin our recent interview, “When I’m listening to music, I’d rather not know who the songwriters are at first listen,” in order to give a fair chance to all the budding songwriters.
“I was gonna drive it // Till the wheels fell off // Yeah that was before she slammed the door // Said it’s over then got lost // I need one she ain’t climbed up in // That ain’t played her favorite songs // Need some glass that we ain’t fogged up // that her barefoot ain’t been on”
The song portrays a break-up in a new and interesting way. “I was in the truck when they sent it to me,” shares Scott in an exclusive interview with Country Swag. “It’s an uptempo breakup song.” The singer went on to share, “It’s basically about this guy and this girl, they break up, still every time he hops into his truck, he finds that memories of her pop up in his head.” From the start, Scott knew how relatable the song would be to his fans, and we could not agree more!
As far as what fans can expect, the singer shared that a new album is on the horizon. “We did a lot of writing and recording during quarantine,” shares Scott, adding “It’s more of what I’ve done in the past, but at a more mature level and I think the lyrics reflect that.”
“New Truck” is country music’s first taste of what the singer has up his sleeve and Scott shares that we can definitely expect a new full-length album soon.

Drake Milligan’s self-titled EP is out today, July 23, on all streaming platforms. The project is produced by country legend Tony Brown and Brandon Hood, and features five new tracks co-written by Milligan. Check out the brand new music and our full review below, but first, visit the link below on Instagram to enter to win a personalized video message from the budding star!
From the opening notes of Drake Milligan’s debut EP it’s clear there’s something different about the 23-year old country crooner. The Texas native isn’t leaning into popular trends here, but is instead embracing a sound that can be best described as “old school in a new way.” Joining a class that includes the likes of Midland, William Michael Morgan, Josh Turner, and Mo Pitney, Milligan is putting a modern spin on country music that has a more traditional sound.
Recently signed to BBR Music Group/ Stoney Creek Records, the EP marks Milligan’s first release of original music. The singer-songwriter moved from Fort Worth, Texas to Nashville at the age of nineteen and has spent the last four years honing his craft alongside some of Music City’s biggest names. “The greatest pleasure of creating this EP was getting a masterclass in country music from the best songwriters, musicians, producers, and engineers that Nashville has to offer,” says Milligan in a statement. “I hope y’all will have as much fun listening to these songs as I had making them!”
The EP, produced by country icons Tony Brown and Brandon Hood, opens with “Over Drinkin’ Under Thinkin’,” a classic-sounding country drinking song. With twangy fiddle and mid-tempo country guitars, Milligan sings of the chaos that happens in a honky-tonk when the crowd’s got one thing on its mind.
“Don’t Look Down” is a romantic ode to getting lost on the dancefloor with someone special. Musically, the track has a swinging tempo, slide guitars, and an almost ethereal sound as Milligan sings of being “in love with the rhythm of holding you girl.” He invites her to enjoy the special moment, “Don’t look down // Just keep your eyes on me,” he implores his dance partner. “I wanna be all you see // While we’re spinning around.”
“Kiss Goodbye All Night” continues the theme of enjoying and savoring a special moment, showing Milligan’s fun side. The music and tempo is reminiscent of Josh Turner’s “Why Don’t We Just Dance?”, and the song is pure country fun. Milligan shines on this flirty ode to a night that turns into morning. “Let’s just kiss goodbye all night,” He sings with a swagger that convinces the listener he isn’t often turned down. “And kiss a little more in the morning.”
Milligan shows his softer side on “She,” a sparse yet beautiful song about one special woman. “She walks in a room // And turns every head on a dime // She’d be something to lose // She’s nothing like you’ll ever find // She’s so beautifully beautiful as can be // And I can’t believe that she’s mine,” he croons. “Oh I wish that she // Could see what I see.”
The EP ends with “Sounds Like Something I’d Do,” a driving up-tempo about the lengths a man will go when he’s in love. While Milligan is a true storyteller on the slower songs, he also excels on songs like this that allow him to show his fun, young, and quick-singing side.
On his debut EP, Drake Milligan perfectly introduces himself to the country music world in a way that’s unique and different. He proves that you don’t have to be old to embrace tradition, managing to put a modern spin on the genre that’s sure to endear him to listeners of every age.
Check back on Monday, July 26th at 7:30PM ET for an exclusive interview and performance from Drake Milligan live from New York City, on our Facebook Page.

Dan + Shay announce new record and release new song “Good Things,” available now, July 15th on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
Just as we anticipated, superstar duo Dan + Shay have officially announced their new album and released a brand new song! Three years after the self-titled album transformed the duo into bonafide cross-country superstars, the singers are ready to release another project. Good Things will be available everywhere on August 13th. To hold fans over, Dan + Shay dropped the title track, available now.
The new single joins smash hits “10,000 Hours” with Justin Bieber, “Glad You Exist,” and “I Should Probably Go To Bed.” “Good Things” is a beautifully put-together tune. It depicts a broken relationship, where they still think the world of their ex. Dan + Shay manage to bring their country-pop flair to the song in a nostalgic, yet innovative way. The uplifting side of the song is so refreshing.
“So when it’s late at night and you’re still wide awake // If you’re with your friends or you’re lonely // When you hear somebody start to sty my name // Oh when you think of me // I hope you think good things”
If the release says anything about the record, Good Things is sure to be another platinum-selling success for the duo. The production, the vocals, and the lyrics all work effortlessly together.
Fans can catch “Good Things” and many more songs on the newly resumed ‘Dan + Shay The (Arena) Tour.’ The tour rolls through New York City’s Madison Square Garden on September 16th. Find tickets here.

Dustin Lynch’s new songs, “Not Every Cowboy” and “Pasadena” are available now, July 16th on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
Small town boy, Dustin Lynch released two new tracks today, July 16th. “Not Every Cowboy” and “Pasadena” are out now. The new music follows his recent collaborations “Tequila on a Boat” with Chris Lane, and his re-recording of “Thinking ‘Bout You” with MacKenzie Porter.
Driven by fiddle and acoustic guitar, “Not Every Cowboy” is a pure country, love ballad. It is about breaking the stereotype of the typical cowboy. Penned by Casey Brown, Parker Welling, Conner Smith, and Heather Morgan, the man takes pride in the fact that he’s still a cowboy even though he doesn’t ride a black mustang, drink whiskey like it’s water, and –most importantly- -doesn’t ride away from the woman he’s with. Lynch’s powerful vocals shine in the catchy chorus.
Girl I bet your mama warned you about guys like me // and this outlaw in my blood, ain’t a wildcard up my sleeve // ‘Cause I ain’t a silhouette standing // headed out west in the red sunset // taking your heart with me // So let me show you that not every cowboy leaves
“Pasadena” tells the story of two out-of-town strangers who met and quickly fell in the love in the sunny, southern California city. Although they are only there for three nights, the two plan on making the most out of their stay, due to the lavish chemistry built between them. Sarah Buxton provides backing vocals on this track, which was written by Jeff Hyde and Ryan Tyndell. Both songs were produced by Zach Crowell, who produced Lynch’s latest album, Tullahoma, all of Sam Hunt’s catalog, and many other songs for Nashville’s brightest acts.
Like many other country artists, Lynch has several headlining and festival tour dates on his schedule. For tickets, head to his website.

Niko Moon’s new song “SMALL TOWN STATE OF MIND” is available now, July 16th on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
Fresh off his first number one radio single with “GOOD TIME,” Niko Moon is back with more new music. The country crooner has grown to become one of the most beloved newcomers in the industry. Between his bright and cheery personality and his undeniable talent, Moon is here to stay. Today the singer releases his brand new song entitled “SMALL TOWN STATE OF MIND.”
The song begins with a simple instrumental and Moon’s delightful rasp. Both the story and the groove of the track unfold in unison. Topically, the singer-songwriter does not try to reinvent the wheel, but melodically, the entertainer brings something new and fresh to country music. Moon shares his own experiences with small-town living in such a way that feels relatable to some and desirable to others.
“Good friends and a bottle of shine // Whenever you roll up your right on time // That small town state of mind, small town state of mind // Southern breeze on the Georgia pines // Soul food and some homemade wine // High school football game on a Friday night // Crickets singing like a Sunday choir // Tailgate down by the fire”
Moon remains one of the most interesting artists in our genre today. He does not try to be anything that he is not. He continues to find success with just being himself and creating music that he loves. “SMALL TOWN STATE OF MIND” is another great jam for the rising artist. Check out the video below for our exclusive performance and interview with Niko Moon, when he joined us live in New York City back in March 2020.
