Russell Dickerson Is Back With New Music, “Love You Like I Used To”

February 11, 2020/in Blog /by Brianna Vacca

Russell Dickerson is back with brand new music. This past fall, Dickerson celebrated his third No. 1 single with “Every Little Thing” and after nearly two and a half years since the release of his debut album Yours, Dickerson has dropped his newest starry-eyed single, “Love You Like I Used To.”

The “Blue Tacoma” singer first hinted about the forthcoming new music on Twitter, back in January, stating only the title of the track and after teasing snippets of the song over the past week, “Love You Like I Used To” is finally available across all streaming platforms. In the smooth-tempo love ballad, Dickerson confesses that he didn’t know he could love his girl more than he already did, but that love continues to change and grow with each passing day.

“I don’t love you like I used to // This gets better every time you // Kiss me like this // It’s stronger the longer I’m with you // It’s more than every single day before // Didn’t know I could ever love you // More than I did, but baby I do // I don’t love you like I used to”

As the song plays, the singer-songwriter expresses the parallels between his love story and classic, sweetened cliches.

“What we got ain’t got no ending, like a band of solid gold // It’s sweeter with time like strawberry wine, it gets as good as it gets old // And oh, we thought we knew what it meant back then // But I keep fallin’ all in higher than I’ve ever been”

If you have been following his career, you’ll know that his wife, Kailey has been the picture-perfect muse for songs that connect with his fans and depict a model love story. Our 2017 Artist to Watch has made a career out of loving his beautiful partner and we are so excited to finally hear new music from one of our all-time favorite artists. Dropping just in time for your Valentine’s Day plans, “Love You Like I Used To” is the perfect addition to your evening’s playlist.

Dickerson is joining Chris Lane in support of Kane Brown’s The Worldwide Beautiful Tour. Check out the dates here.

To keep up with Russell Dickerson follow him on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

“Love You Like I Used To” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our “New Country Playlist.” Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

“Love You Like I Used To” Lyrics

Girl, I’ve always loved you, but something’s changed
Blame it on time, the road or the ride, but it ain’t the same
It’s a different kind of feeling, not the one I knew
From the sweet on your lips to how your hand in mine fits
Girl, I’ve always loved you, but

I don’t love you like I used to
This gets better every time you
Kiss me like this
It’s stronger the longer I’m with you

It’s more than every single day before
Didn’t know I could ever love you
More than I did, but baby I do
I don’t love you like I used to

What we got ain’t got no ending, like a band of solid gold
It’s sweeter with time like strawberry wine, it gets as good as it gets old
And oh, we thought we knew what it meant back then
But I keep fallin’ all in higher than I’ve ever been

I don’t love you like I used to
This gets better every time you
Kiss me like this
It’s stronger the longer I’m with you
It’s more than every single day before
Didn’t know I could ever love you
More than I did, but baby I do

I don’t love you like I used to
I don’t love you like I used to
This gets better every time you
Kiss me like this
It’s stronger the longer I’m with you
It’s more than every single day before
Didn’t know I could ever love you
More than I did, but baby I do
I don’t love you like I used to
I don’t love you like I used to
Love you like I used to, yeah
I don’t love you like I used to

NYCS Swag Spotlight: Cody Purvis

February 10, 2020/in Blog, Swag Spotlight /by Erica Zisman

This week’s Swag Spotlight artist, Cody Purvis hails from a small town in Virginia. After conversing with the singer, it seems like he was destined to become a country music artist from a young age. Both his mother and father were musicians, and he spent his childhood watching his parents perform, all the while, falling in love with music himself.

“I kind of went around watching them play while I grew up,” he tells us. “That’s kind of where I fell in love with music and decided to follow that passion for myself.” Purvis went on to play in a few different bands all through high school, before ultimately, taking the leap of faith to test the waters in Nashville, Tennessee.

Growing up listening to country music greats like Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, and Conway Twitty, country music was a necessary fit for Purvis’ passion. He even named Toby Keith as one of his influences. Despite adoring country music, the singer shared a liking for all different types of music. “I enjoy all kinds of music. I have respect for all different genres of music. I enjoy the new stuff too,” but he ultimately stated that the more traditional side of country music “just has a special place in [his] heart.”

As a self-proclaimed “songwriter’s friend,” when it comes to his own music, Purvis searches for songs that feel meaningful to him. Although also a songwriter, the singer chose to carefully select songs written by some of Nashville’s talented songwriters for his latest project, an EP entitled Boots on the Ground.

“I believe that there are a lot of songwriters in Nashville that are there to be songwriters and I like to listen to their songs because that’s what they’re there to do,” he shares with us. “It’s really cool to get to listen to so many different songs and so many different styles and narrow it down to the five songs that I thought was the best to fit me.”

Purvis accomplished that feat with his latest release. After listening to over two thousand songs, the rising artist narrowed it down to five special tracks. Each of the five tracks showcases a different side to the recording artist’s talent and story, keeping fans excited for his music. His lead single, “Drinkin’ Terms” has amassed over 7 million streams across all platforms and even charted on Billboard. The follow up single “Whiskey” continues to be added to playlists across streaming platforms too.

Despite the success with the two singles, the singer resonated most with the title track of the EP. “‘Boots on the Ground’ is probably my favorite one on there,” he tells us, adding, “It’s just one of those songs that I really connected with when I heard it. […] I’m a very pro-military guy myself. It kinda reminds me of how lucky we are to live in this great country.”

Fans can anticipate a lot more music coming their way this year! Purvis hopes to release a new EP sometime this year, as well as, many tour dates on the horizon to look out for. The Red 11 Music rising artist will be one to look out for, and we are excited to see where his career takes him next!

To keep up with Cody Purvis follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Drinkin’ Terms” is now available everywhere you can buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

NYCS First Impression: Brent Cobb ‘No Place Left to Leave’

February 10, 2020/in Blog, First Impression /by Guest Post

By Michal Pietrzak

Brent Cobb’s No Place Left to Leave is a diverse and re-issued album. It’s not just country it’s a blend of Americana, Southern Rock and a pinch of Outlaw country. All of these pieces combined to make an album that many different music fans can enjoy. As you can read in his Spotify bio “Country songs of Ellaville, Georgia Native often celebrate and mythologize rural small-town life” and you can actually sense that sentiment when listening to the project. All songs on a record are written by himself which makes it more unique and impressive. It feels like back to the basics of a good ole meaningful country song.

No Place Left To Leave is a 10-track record that starts with Americana touch and beautiful sound of harmonica followed by some country vibes then southern rock takes the lead and acoustic, singer-songwriter sounds marks the end. A blend of all kinds of instruments makes this album great and shows how diverse country music is within its own genre. If you’ve got 37 minutes, spend them on listening No Place Left To Leave.

Cobb took to social media to explain the decision to re-release the project, stating “Eleven years and 45 cuts later I’m still there making a living writing songs. It’s the last album of mine that my grandpa ever heard. Thanks to the help of my manager Don VanCleave I was fortunate enough this past year to be able to buy this album and actually own those masters myself. It’s for all of these reasons that this album is the first release on my own label, Ol’ Buddy Records. I owe it everything. Happy re-release day, “No Place Left To Leave”. Thanks for being so good to me.”

There are 3 songs are worth listening to more than just a couple of times. Black Creek is a sort of redemption song. Letting go of troubled past and asking for forgiveness might be a hard thing but a purifying. You can feel that in Cobb’s voice if you listen carefully. Warning: Slow, soft sounds and great lyrics may lead to reflections. “

“Oh, black creek, take me to that place / Wash my sins away / Won’t you wash my sins away?”

Lavenders and Loving Gestures. The title may implicate it’s a love song but it’s a heartbreaking goodbye song and soft sounds don’t make it easier. He realizes that he can’t give his dear one the love that she deserves. Therefore he tries to let her go.

“Lavenders and loving gestures / They’re just some things right now I can’t give / If you think there’s a one you can love again / But I know there is / I think you can”

Hold Me Closely. Finding love might be a challenge and deep true love is even harder to find. Everyone needs someone who will be a rock for them and a song is just about that. Simple yet beautiful. Love someone 100% or don’t. Be the light for significant other in dark times and be cheer in bright times. That the point of the song.

“There’s a place called my life / Don’t know if I can travel alone / Need someone to take me by my hand / Lead me safely to promise land / Hold me closely, hold me softly / Don’t let me fall on my own”

After a career full of creating meaningful music that his fans love, re-releasing No Place Left To Leave is the perfect testament to returning to the roots of what makes Brent Cobb, the successful singer-songwriter that he is.

Ingrid Andress Releases Confessional Instant Grat “Life of the Party”

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Lucie Bernheim

Ingrid Andress has been making quite a name for herself over the past year. Her debut single to radio, “More Hearts Than Mine” is Top 15 and climbing; she’s about to embark on tours with Dan + Shay and Tim McGraw; and she announced that her debut album Ladylike is slated for release on March 27th. To celebrate, she gifted fans an instant-grat single titled “Life of the Party”, an anthem about someone who goes out to get their ex off their mind.

The introduction is a simple piano melody, accompanied by a beautiful string arrangement that leads right into the conversational first verse. Andress lists all the things she’s doing to have a good time: she’s laughing, dancing on tables, taking tequila shots… but despite her singing, “Yeah, I’m killing it”, she admits that having fun isn’t solving her problems. In the pre-chorus, a really interesting banjo lick is introduced and is layered on top of the piano, as it segways perfectly into the chorus.

The kick drum bounces off the wall once the cinematic chorus hits. “Look at me I’m the life of the party/Round here everybody loves me”, Andress sings. “But they don’t know that I’ve been hurting/Cuz baby ever since you left me/I’ve been the life of the party”. It’s a perfect musical moment, with all the components of the song adding up to get to that very spot.

This song really shows off Andress’ vocals. She sings her heart out on the last chorus, and it’s so intense that it feels as if it’s this big emotional release like she had been bottling up these thoughts for so long. It’s authentic while being catchy all at the same time. All of Andress’ songs are relatable and from the heart, yet so pleasing to the ears.

Ladylike is out Friday, March 27th. To keep up with Ingrid Andress, follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Life of the Party” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Austin Burke Releases Dreamy Track “Desert Child”

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Rebekah Milsted

On Friday, rising country singer and songwriter Austin Burke released a new track, “Desert Child.” While it may be a song about the one who got away, it has an up-tempo beat and will have you dreaming about those summer nights.

Written by Burke, Benjy Davis, and Daniel Ross, “Desert Child” pays tribute to the Arizona native’s home state. In a recent press release, Burke shared, “It’s a song that embraces my Arizona roots. I am proud to be a country artist from the West Coast, and this song showcases that. I want to bring together all of the music that inspires me and create a new, fresh sound in Nashville.”

“And I won’t ever have another summer night\ Like the one I spent that summer\ In her blue eyes and just like that sand in her hair\ She left pieces of her everywhere\ She’ll always be my\ She said she’ll always be my desert child.”

This is Burke’s second single released since signing with Thomas Rhett’s publishing company, Home Team Publishing, last year. The first single, “Love You Most,” came out in September and this is just the beginning of what’s to come for this 2018 Artist to watch in 2020, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

To keep up with Austin Burke follow him on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line Release Wolf Moon Bourbon Line

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Rebekah Milsted

Friendship and bourbon sounds like the perfect storyline for a country song, doesn’t it? Well, country Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line are bringing the collaboration to real life with the release of their bourbon line, Wolf Moon Bourbon.

The 80-proof bourbon was aged for four years in charred American Oak barrels and distilled from Midwestern grains. You can expect to taste caramel, sweet corn, honey, and candied fruit, balanced by hints of oak and spice.

In a recent press release, Aldean explained how the idea of the collaboration came about after touring and befriending Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley in 2014. “There’s nothing like sharing a glass of bourbon with my crew after a show- you could say its been part of our ritual for years. Tyler and Brian have been a part of that ritual, and we wanted to create something to remind us of our favorite memories.” Wolf Moon’s name is a nod to the pack- the friends that become family. I’m looking forward to raising a glass with all my fans on the road this year.”

Hubbard and Kelley are already members of the whiskey world with their successful Old Camp Whiskey, which was released in 2016. In a recent press release, they shared, “Making good whiskey is a passion of ours, and we really wanted to create something new and fresh with Jason. We’ve had this idea for years and spent a lot of time making sure we got it just right. We’re all so proud of this and can’t wait for all of the memories to be made over Wolf Moon.”

While the award-winning artists are not on tour together this time around, it doesn’t mean they won’t be enjoying Wolf Moon on the road. Aldean just kicked off the We Back Tour with Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, and Dee Jay Silver. Florida Georgia Line is hitting the road with Kenny Chesney on the Chillaxification tour starting in April.

Carolyn Miller, Luke Denison & Stephanie Ryann Play The Cutting Room

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Julia Grubbs

The Cutting Room is an incredible venue for live music, only made better when hosting some incredible women of country. Stephanie Ryann opened, with “You Don’t Know Me”, a grassroots grungy country song, with a bit of a modern sound. Her song “Good as Gone” has that deep country sound as well, with an intense beat to jam to. She played “Jolene”, a classic cover, but she sounded amazing and a perfect pick for the crowd and venue. She finished with her single that’s debuting soon, “It’s Only Love”, that’s got incredible vocals, and was really catchy. Luke Denison followed Ryann, playing a breakup song, “More of Me” and an awesome guitar cover of “Ramblin’ Man”.

Carolyn Miller took the stage in an iconic sequin blazer and shorts, dolled up to look like the star she is. Without a manager or label, she does all the work herself, which you can get from her fired up spirit. She’s so grateful to her fan base, who definitely came out to support, saying that without them, none of this would be possible. “Memories” was a lovely sound, and one of her slower tunes, that contrasted with the more heart-wrenching power-song, “Unbreakable”. She’s played everything from dive bars to singing the National Anthem at Barclays and gives the same love to her fans either way. “What You Can’t Have” followed, by songwriter Lance Carpenter, which was named one of the top 15 Best Songs at CMA Fest 2019. She played “American Honey”, a beautiful cover of a classic by Lady Antebellum, then a song she wrote as her vows to her husband in the two weeks leading up to their wedding. “Summer Time” was such a fun performance, with her dancing around as if it really wasn’t winter in New York City. This Long Island girl may have her home base here, but she’s got fans across the country that support her and her music.

CMT Next Women of Country Tour Hits New York City

February 10, 2020/in Blog, Concert Reviews /by Julia Grubbs

There are tons of venues in New York City, but Town Hall is one that seems a bit grander than all the others and an appropriate place for the legend herself, Tanya Tucker on the CMT Next Women of Country Tour. Aubrie Sellers opened, on the day of her new record release, Far From Home, gracing the stage wearing a fabulous red blazer and sparkly eyeshadow. She opened with “Light of Day” from her first record, New City Blues. The crowd, slightly mesmerized by the ease she presented, might not have known her before but found a liking for her sound. “Far From Home” was next, and was even more soothing than the first. You could hear a pin drop, everyone in the crowd was so engaged.

Sellers calls her music “garage country” because she likes guitars, evidenced by her guitar player who really used all tones of the instrument and her comment that there are four guitar players on her new record. She played “Just to Be With You”, and “Worried Mind”, about her anxiety throughout her life. “Haven’t Even Kissed Me Yet” offers a raw depiction of the story that’s happening inside one’s head as they’re not sure about the future of a specific relationship. She shares a vulnerable sight into all of the emotions that come with that.

Brandy Clark followed Sellers, with her comedic and catchy “Get High”, about a girl she went to high school with. Her new album Your Life is a Record comes out March 6th, and it is sure to be a hit. “Hold My Hand” was incredibly moving, and the harmonies by guitarist Jeff Malinowski (who she met on Tuesday) were the perfect combination. Cellist Kaitlyn Raitz was also a perfect addition, giving the smooth sound that only strings can. “Daughter” and “Love Can Go To Hell” were other favorites of the night.

Tanya Tucker, a recent GRAMMY winner, has an iconic voice that is easily recognizable. “Bring My Flowers Now” was a soothing tune of the night, while “Ridin’ Out The Heartache” brought the fire and a few dance moves from Tucker. “Blood Red and Going Down” was another hit, with the beautiful back-up vocals and the entire band engaged. What an iconic night in country music, celebrating the amazing women of country.
