Talented outlaw country artist, Warren Zeiders is about to blast off into stardom, if he has not already. The singer-songwriter mesmerized fans and industry-alike with his major-label debut album, Pretty Little Poison.

The battle between choosing something or someone we love and keeping ourselves from getting hurt is the crux of the now, number one song.
“Leaning on old memories // And talking ’bout what we used to be // She’ll probably be the death of me // But damn if it ain’t sweet // She’s my pretty little poison // My heartache in the night // With a kiss on her lips just like cyanide // Yeah, she came with a warning // But I didn’t mind // I’ll go out on that high every time // She’s my pretty little poison // My pretty little poison”
Congrats to Zeiders on their first number one single at country radio! We cannot wait to see what song heads to country radio next.

Quick Facts:
Full Name – Randall King
Birthdate – 1/1/1991
Hometown – Hereford, Texas
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Merle Haggard, Gary Allen
Label – Warner Music Nashville
Current Single – “I Could Be That Rain”
The Beginning:
Today’s spotlight shines on Warner Music Nashville’s budding star, Randall King. King is leading the pack with bringing feel-good, honest, and authentic traditional country-music to modern-day country music lovers everywhere.
As a Texas native, country music is in his blood. “I grew up in West Texas, technically the panhandle, the flatlands of Texas up there,” began King. “At seven years old, my daddy bought me a guitar […] I always wanted to stand on stage and sing, and I always wanted to tour, play, write music, sing it.” He recalls singing in competitions growing up and listening to country music with his dad often.
“I grew up a son of a truck driver who worked his fingers to the bone his whole life. He was gone all of the time and the only time I got to see him was when I went on the road with him. I’d go on the road with him and ride in the passenger seat and we’d listen to Hank Sr., Hank Jr, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, and George Strait. I found a new found love for country music,” shared King.
Interestingly enough, his father was also one of the people who inspired him to chase after his dreams.“I told my daddy that I wanted to play music and he goes, ‘okay, we’re going to speak it into existence. We’re going to manifest it, and write a bucket list, and write out your goals of all the places you want to play in your life.’” King adds, “We wrote out places like Billy Bob’s and Gilly’s, Red Rocks, The Grand Ole Opry […] and in my career, I’ve been able to check many of those off, and there’s one that’s written down that still ain’t checked off, and that’s Madison Square Garden in New York City.”
The Turning Point:
Despite his deep love for country music, King headed off to Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas upon graduating high school. “I went there for a year and a half as a business major and minored in music. My first semester, I tore it up, almost made the Dean’s list, and then my second semester, I started writing songs and really writing and focusing on it. I ended up staying in my dorm room, writing, and missing class, and I failed out of tech, because I lost interest in it.”
Instead, the singer-songwriter switched colleges. He was able to obtain an associate’s degree in sound technology, which helped him learn to produce records. “From there, I went out and started hitting the road, getting opening slots at local clubs and honky-tonks there in Lubbock and West Texas, and it kind of spread there across Texas and Oklahoma, and New Mexico,” he shared. Adding, “I learned my sound, and I learned my craft as a songwriter and an artist. I grew up on traditional country music, and that’s always what I wanted to do.”
King’s fanbase continued to grow as he became a bigger name in the Texas country-music scene. “Texas is such a great platform for artists coming up, and I was able to find myself, I was able to kick start my career just going through and playing the honky tonk bars down there,” he shared. In 2015, he started to come to Nashville to write music, after his manager discovered him a year prior.
“I built my fanbase independently, up until I signed with Warner Music Nashville in September of 2019, and we started releasing new singles.” King went on to play socially-distance sold-out shows in 2020, and even released his EP in honor of his late sister, Leanna, and his debut album, Shotglass. “A song called, “You In A Honky Tonk” was on that record, and in 2022, that song blew wide open in the social world and the streaming world, and set us on fire.”
Today:
Flash forward to today, King is on the rise, growing his star-power each and every day. A little bit over a month ago in January 2024, the singer-songwriter released his sophomore record, Into The Neon, featuring 18 new song that speak to the singer’s undeniable talent and charm.
“A project is in the works long before it is ever recorded. A lot of these songs were written back in 2021. […] We had just cut and finished up Shotglass, and I wrote “Into The Neon,” and I already knew it was the title of the next record, and I want to write it as a smokey, spaghetti-western, John Wayne meets urban cowboy type vibe, and this what we got out of the song,” shared King when asked about how the record came to be.
For King, the record amplifies his sound and shows off a fresh side of his musical ability and songwriting. “This record got that smoke, beer-clinging, neon-lit, dim-lit bar type, honky tonky vibes that bleeds through this whole record.”
Upon its release, Into The Neon earned the top spot on iTunes, as well as, continues to be a hit on social media and with King’s fans. “This record is booming. I think this record is going to be our step into award shows, and into the radio world, it’s going to be that for us.”

It is always exciting when country artists get to crossover and collaborate with an artist from a different genre.

Country superstar Miranda Lambert is joining forces with Latin pop-star, Enrique Iglesias on a new song for his upcoming album. Their collaboration is a song called “Space In My Heart.”
The beautiful new track is an exquisite love song. The tune shows off the best parts of both artists’ voices, as well as, their ability to convey emotions through song. “Space In My Heart” depicts how it feels to feel like you have found your person. Lambert and Iglesias take turns singing lyrics; however, in the chorus the two artists get to meld their sounds. Somehow, their voices seem to blend and balance each other’s beautifully.
“You don’t love me yet, but I know you will // If you only felt half of what I feel // If you ever go, I will never change // There’s a space in my heart and it’s just your shape”
“Space In My Heart” is one of the most intriguing cross-genre songs in recent years. Both Lambert and Iglesias gave their heart to this song!

“Yeah, I’m addicted to every side of you // There ain’t no going back // Baby, who could quit you // Baby, who in their right mind could put you down // ‘Cause I ain’t ever had your kinda high // Who could ever go and tell you goodbye // Baby, who could quit you // ‘Cause I can’t put you down // Put you down”
“Quit You” is an incredibly impressive song. It showcases solid songwriting and heart, which is very important in a good country song. Marlowe continues to show his star power with each and every release. “Quit You” is no different.

Who is Becca Bowen? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…
Becca Bowen // Photo credit: Kelsey Cotton
Quick Facts:
Full Name – Rebecca Bowen
Birthdate – June 23rd
Hometown – West Columbia, South Carolina
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Shania Twain
Current Record – County Line EP
The Beginning:
Today’s spotlight shines on singer-songwriter, Becca Bowen. Bowen chatted with us about her journey to country music, her upbringing, and the incredible music that she is currently releasing and sharing with her growing fanbase.
“I actually grew up in West Columbia, South Carolina, and I started singing at the age of five years old in my church. I have a lot of memories of just singing in the church,” began the singer-songwriter. Bowen recalls traveling with her gospel group throughout childhood, honing her talent as a vocalist as she performed with her peers.
At the same time, her family was introducing her to country music. She recalls loving artists like George Strait, Shania Twain, and Garth Brooks, among many others. “I’ve been doing this for a very long time. I started singing country because of my grandfather. He used to sit in the kitchen and play the guitar for me, and we’d listen to Johnny Cash, and Loretta Lynn, all those wonderful artists. It really influenced me,” she shared. Adding, “My mom’s entire side of her family played country music. It was just so cool to watch them at family reunions and it really influenced me in to knowing that was the path that I wanted to take, going into country music.”
Like many fans and artists in country music, Bowen fell in love with the storytelling aspect of the genre. “I love it for the storytelling, and of course, I’m a songwriter, and when you think of country music you think about storytelling and songwriting.”
The Turning Point:
While there were many turning points in Bowen’s life, there was one moment where she knew that she was meant to pursue country music as her career. “It really didn’t dawn on me that this was what I was going to be doing the rest of my life until I had the opportunity to open for a country act named Alabama.” Teenaged Becca was enamored with performing and loved being on stage. “Once I got on that stage and opened up for that country group, I was like ‘this is it, this is what I want to be doing for the rest of my life.’”
Bowen’s life continued to unfold as it should with music being one of the most important components. The singer even moved to New York City to pursue theatre. During this stage in her life, songwriting became a focal point. “I started writing when I was very young. Actually, strangely, I was living in New York at that time, I had went from singing gospel to loving theatre. […] I did some off-Broadway musicals and theatre, and during the time, I started writing. It just came out of nowhere. I think it was because I was around so many creative people, and I haven’t stopped writing since.”
Another breakthrough moment occurred for Bowen during the pandemic, where she decided that she was done with any ‘Plan Bs.’ “During COVID, I think everybody had a chance to reevaluate their lives and what they wanted to be doing. During COVID, that’s when I said, I’m going to put everything I have into this, I’m not going to have a plan B. I’m going to absolutely pursue this, and I think I started writing a lot more, I started pouring my heart out, and being vulnerable with my music, more than I ever had before, and I think it’s very hard to be vulnerable, it’s very hard to let people know what you are going through, and during that time, it really did change my outlook on life.”
Today:
Flash forward to today, Bowen is releasing the most honest and authentic music to date. Her EP, County Line features four songs that speak to the singer’s artistry and songwriting. The collection of the songs is the first time the songstress released a body of work that came from personal experience and showed off her songwriting.
“I had happened to write a song with Sam Wood called “Son of a Gun.” It was about this guy who had cheated on me and we started playing that song at different writer’s round. As people began to hear it, they started saying, ‘I’d love if you’d put that up. I want to hear it and listen to it,'” she began. “And from that, it opened up this idea that maybe I should put out a collection of songs that I have written because people relate to them andI feel like the stuff that I write is geared to my roots in South Carolina and more vulnerable, and people just loved that.”
She went on to write “If I’m Being Honest” next. “We also wrote, “If I’m Being Honest,” which is just the time that I was trying to get over that guy and going out and having fun.” The next two songs unfolded organically to tell the story of healing and triumph despite the challenges and heartbreak along the way.
“I was like I need to put out a collection of songs that tells a story, and that’s what I ended up doing, going from heartbreak to chasing my dreams,” She tells us. Adding, “‘County Line’ is definitely about chasing my dreams, and then after that, by the end of the EP, you realize somewhere in this journey that this girl found herself.”
Bowen created this project both for herself, but more importantly for the fans that relate to it. She is spreading a message of resiliency and going after your dreams. “I just wanted to show people that you can be happy and you don’t need a significant other to do that, you can find happiness in life and in your dreams, so that’s kind of how the EP came to be, because I just wanted to help other people heal.”
Fans can be on the lookout for more new music coming down the pipeline soon.

Luke Combs continues his streak of number ones with his next song to top the country charts, “Where The Wild Things Are.” Get all the details here!
Every song that Luke Combs puts out to country radio seems to make its way to the top! The superstar is one of the most recognizable voices in the genre and his talent is as real as they come. The singer scored his eighteen number one at country radio last week in collaboration with Riley Green. Today, he is adding to the streak. “Where The Wild Things Are” officially hit the top of the charts.
“Where The Wild Things Are” is a true-blue storytelling song. Throughout the single, Combs shares the stories of an older brother who moved out west to California with a surprising twist at the end. While the song is not necessarily coming from personal experience, the lyrics and the imagery clearly resonate with both the artist and his fanbase.
“He’d call me up every couple of weeks // From South California // Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree // And his pretty girl stories // And how he bought an Airstream trailer and a J-45 guitar // Said, “Little brother, you’d love it out here // Out where the wild things are // Oh, it’s hearts on fire and crazy dreams // Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline // And light up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark // Out where the wild things are”
Congrats to Combs and his team on another monumental feat! It’s only a matter of time before his next radio single hits the top of the charts.
Fans can catch the number one single and many more on one of Combs’ many tour dates. Check out his full schedule here.

Redferrin releases his debut EP, Old No. 7,out now, February 16th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project here.
One of our favorite things to do here at Country Swag is to highlight and champion artists early on in their careers. Redferrin, an artist we truly believe in is making his major-label debut today with his brand new EP. The Warner Music Nashville signee shares his new project called, Old No. 7.
“It feels good to finally be releasing a project rather than singles,” shares Redferrin in a recent press release. “I got to be super hands-on and craft the stories the way I wanted them to be told, and it’s very special to me. I’m excited for people to really get a feel for who I am and what kind of music I make.”
Throughout Old No. 7, Redferrin leans into his Tennessee roots, showcasing his talents as both a singer-songwriter and a producer. The record features seven distinct songs that speak to Redferrin’s talent and diverse musical interests. Fans of Morgan Wallen are sure to fall in love with his creativity and knack for storytelling that is evident from the first single on the project, fan-favorite and viral song, “Jack and Diet Coke.”
“You won’t know the difference when you mix it with some whiskey // It’ll still get you buzzed up just right // Don’t believe it, kiss me, boy, still gon’ get ya tipsy // So I did and your lips taste just like // Jack and Diet Coke // Jack and Diet Coke // Now, baby, all I want is Jack and Diet Coke // Jack and Diet Coke”
The record continues with two more songs called, “Lose Her For Nothin'” and “Miss Summer.” The former tells the story of heartbreak in a way that feels like an anthem. Redferrin gives listeners the nostalgia we are all craving on the standout track, “Lose Her For Nothin'”. While on “Miss Summer”, the song reminisces about a summer love. The tune reads as a true and honest depiction of a quick, but impactful romance. After just one listen, fans will be hanging on every word of “Miss Summer.”
Redferrin continues to bring the honesty on the next tracks of the EP. “Just Like Johnny” talks about being stuck in your ways. The singer compares his relationship to Johnny Cash and June Carter. Redferrin remains honest about the vices that may get in the way.
While honesty is a common thread throughout the EP, no song is as genuine as track 5, “Doin’ Life.” According to the singer, the song is one of the most vulnerable songs he has ever released. It capsules his struggles with mental health and the pain he has felt throughout his life. “I’ve battled with depression in the past and have lost friends to suicide, so it was really important to me to tell this story and put this song out into the world. Music kept me going through the hard times and I hope that someone comes across this song right when they need it too.”
“Lucky to even be alive, the way I was doin’ life // Hardly made it through the nights, I was fighting suicide // Every day feeling low, like it’s just the way it goes // When you come from down the road, you get used to getting by // Just trying to survive, the way I was doin’ life // Felt like I was doin’ life, yeah”
On the final two songs of the project, “She’s Like Whiskey,” and “Champagne In The Morning,” Redferrin continues to prove his talent. “She’s Like Whiskey” leans into the hip-hop influence in the singer’s repertoire, while “Champagne In The Morning” captivates you from the first note complemented by the intriguing production.
Redferrin’s first official outting, Old No. 7 is one of the best releases of the year so far. The record has songs that will stay stuck in your head for days, while still addressing real stories and experiences. Redferrin is an artist to look-out for.

Chase Matthew releases his new EP, We All Grow Up,out now, February 16th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project here.
On his new EP, We All Grow Up, Chase Matthew is poetic and nostalgic about the trappings of life in a small town, love, heartbreak, and everything in between. Featuring six new songs, four of which he co-wrote, the project serves as a solid introduction to the Warner Music Nashville artist.
For the Nashville native with a well-publicized troubled past, the EP reflects overcoming adversity for something greater, which included a March 2023 Opry Debut. This summer, the young star will also hit the road with Jason Aldean, continuing his meteoric rise as he cleverly blends hip hop infused beats with a country twang.
“This project has been a blast to put together. Each one of these songs makes you feel something,” shares Matthew. “‘We All Grow Up’ feels reminiscent. ‘Small Town Shit’ might make you feel like a hometown badass. ‘Darlin” is one of my favorites because I’ve been in that situation before. I’ve had a great time working on this one with some great friends. Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!”
The EP opens with the title track, a nostalgic throwback that is sure to win over legions of new fans. On the mid-tempo anthem, Matthew shares a poetic look at the kids he grew up with, admitting that they all took different paths. “Some left town and some got stuck, It takes a whole lotta God, a little bit of love,” He sings. “But we all settle down and we all grow up.”
Similar themes weave through tracks like “Small Town Shit” and “Dirt Road Does.” On the former, which is remnant of tracks like Kane Brown’s “Bury Me in Georgia” or Aldean’s “Burnin’ it Down,” the newcomer booms through a barn burner as he celebrates all the things that make small towns special. Alternatively, the album’s closing track, “Dirt Road Does,” shows a more vulnerable side of the singer-songwriter as he likens his love to a dirt road, and while it shouldn’t work, it absolutely does. Over a sparse guitar ballad, he muses “I thank God everyday for the both of you // Yeah your brown eyes and a two lane windshield view // When I’ve been gone too long // You both know how to take me home.”
“Darling” finds him suspicious of a girl on the hip-hop infused track that finds him channeling Brown and Sam Hunt as he questions her. “If he’s just a friend, then why’s he always calling?” He asks on the earwormy track. “Why’s he call you darling, Why’s he call you daily?”
“Make You Miss Me” and “I Don’t Carolina” both find Matthew dealing with heartbreak. On “Miss Me,” he wants her to regret the end, while “I Don’t Carolina” turns to clever lyrics as he deals with a breakup with a Carolina girl. On the moving heartbreak ballad, he name drops cities like Charlotte, Raleigh and the Outer Banks before going anywhere to escape her. “I’ll head to Texas, Times Square,” He proclaims. “Anywhere I won’t find ya, ‘Cause I don’t Carolina.”
On We All Grow Up, Chase Matthew is sure to continue his meteoric rise to stardom, and it’s only a matter of time before he’s filling arenas on his own.

Lainey Wilson’s new song, “Country’s Cool Again” is out now, February 16th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Fresh off her GRAMMY win for best country album, Lainey Wilson is feeding fans even more music. Since she emerged in the country music landscape, Wilson has cemented herself as a mainstay in the genre. Now, the singer-songwriter is a true superstar in her own right. Wilson’s new song, “Country’s Cool Again” is just another notch in her belt.
The new single has everything we have come to love from a Lainey Wilson hit. “Country’s Cool Again” touches on all the cliches of country music in a new and fresh way. Throughout the song, Wilson sings about how country music is mainstream again, which fits right into her lifestyle. The song highlights the revival of the country music genre, something that Wilson herself has had a huge influence on.
“Oh me, oh my, how things changed // And I can’t believe my eyes these days // Everybody wanna be a cowboy // Drive a John boat whip a John Deere // Everybody wanna backwoods front porch // With a tub full of iced-down beer // Must be something in water flowing out of the holler // Blue collar must have caught a new wind // Doggone daggummit, didn’t see that coming // Country’s cool again”
“Country’s Cool Again” is a type of song that is hard not to love the second you hear it. Wilson deserves all the hype she is getting right now and we hope that this is just the beginning of more new music down the pipeline!
Lainey Wilson shares new song, “Country’s Cool Again,” out now on all streaming platforms.
