Kenny Chesney Is Honoring “Guys Named Captain” in New Track

April 17, 2020/in Blog /by Erin Crosby

The summer-lovin’ captain of The No Shoes Nation just released a single to acknowledge the abundance of commanders of the sea that are “tucked into a table in a corner, or sitting near the far end of the bar.” Kenny Chesney recognizes the experiences and stories that these sailors have to tell with “Guys Named Captain”.

“The adventures they’ve had, places they’ve gone, the way they live their life for the sea… Free spirit might be too restricting a label for them.” Chesney reveals in a press statement. “There’s nobody more loyal or more committed to their friends. Hell-raisers, heartbreakers, poets, pirates, they dream on the water and carry themselves with a whole other kind of strength. And it’s all in the song…”

There’s not an artist more equipped than Chesney to present this song. It wouldn’t be too far off to guess that this muscle-tank-beach-concert enthusiast spends just as much time on the water than on land. He just oozes liquid paradise with an umbrella on top.

This is not the first time Chesney appreciates the big blue in lyric. For instance, in Cosmic Hallelujah, his seventeenth studio album, “Trip Around the Sun” opens up with “’Cause there ain’t no other place than on the sea I’d rather be”. “Pirate Song” from the 2018 Song for the Saints album acts as a first-person fantasy that dreams of becoming one where the ocean is home. Though, “Guys Named Captain” exists entirely to recognize those special people.

“Every one of the guys in this song, every one of the people I’ve met in the islands, Key West, Mexico and even on the road, they’re all very different – except how much they love the water or the road,” Chesney says. “This song feels like it distills their soul into just a few lines…”

In preparation for the Here and Now album set to release May 1, the third single “Guys Named Captain” is here to send you offshore and anchor your ears to the bottom of the ocean. Lyrically, though, it will have you searching for those sun-kissed, rugged characters hanging around the coast with a sparkle in their eye.

Brett Eldredge Surprises Fans With Three Brand New Songs

April 17, 2020/in Blog /by Lucie Bernheim

It’s been almost three years since Brett Eldredge released his self-titled LP. On his 2017 project, he sang about his relationship with his brother, love gone wrong, and anxiety getting the best of him. It was his most vulnerable collection of work yet. That is, until now. After his album cycle was over, he took some time to find himself. After a lot of soul searching and traveling around the world, Eldredge ended up back home in Chicago, IL, where his fifth LP Sunday Drive (out July 10th) was born. Today, April 17th, three tracks off the album became available for fans everywhere.

The lead single is the nostalgic, wistful, poppy piano-driven “Gabrielle”. It’s the track most similar to his previous work. Written by Eldredge, Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian, it talks about a lost love that you still can’t shake from your memory. “[The relationship] could’ve ended up being something amazing and you wonder what they’re doing in life right now,” Eldredge said in a press release. On a song like “Crowd My Mind”, co-written with Ross Copperman, you hear a new-found detail and personality in the lyrics. “So broke, you could see through me/Wouldn’t know me if you knew me/Been eight months since November/But you’re all I can remember,” he sings heartily on the second verse. There’s a clear influence of Frank Sinatra on both songs, and there’s something about the new music that sounds somewhat reminiscent of Glen Campbell and Kenny Rogers, with the big choruses and storytelling verses.

“I think you have to give yourself permission to do anything in life, to be brave a little bit,” Eldredge says. “I got to a certain point where I was doing something in repetition and it was all really good… but I felt like I wasn’t giving enough of myself. It took a lot of self-awareness to finally realize that if I do really have a lot more in me, then I’ve got to step up and I’ve got to take that step off the edge. And I think enough time of doing it the same way made me realize it’s time to do it big.”

The self-reflection that Eldredge is describing pours throughout each song, most notably on Track 1 of Sunday Drive. “Where the Heart Is”, written by Eldredge, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Tyler Johnson is a mid-tempo singer/songwriter cut about finding the heart of life and the heart inside all of us. “Where’d you lose your sense of wonder? / The firework goin’ off in your head / ’Cause there was a time we weren’t thinkin’, we were flyin’ / We were alive / I wanna feel alive.” It’s the type of song one sinks into, it’s so honest. There is something cathartic about the more-true-than-ever words, Eldredge’s soaring voice and Tashian and Fitchuk’s driving production.

Eldredge’s new sound is a lot more singer-songwriter and rootsy, in partial to his soul-searching and his pairing with Tashian and Fitchuk, who are responsible for Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour and Little Big Town’s Nightfall. Together, the three created a sound that is the perfect mix of mainstream country and triple-a singer/songwriter. Lyrically and sonically, this is Eldredge at his best.

If this is the record that Brett Eldredge hopes to find himself on, then so far he is succeeding. If these three songs seem to be an indication of what the remaining project is like, fans are in for an authentic ride through his life. Eldredge wants to feel alive: and this era has him more alive and more himself than ever.

To keep up with Brett Eldredge, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Sunday Drive, due July 10th, is available for pre-order here.

“Gabrielle”, “Crowd My Mind” and “Where the Heart Is” are 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.

Who Is Teddy Robb? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

April 17, 2020/in Blog, First Impression, New Music /by Erica Zisman

Who is Teddy Robb? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

The Beginning:

Since we named Teddy Robb one of our 2019 Artists To Watch and featured him as a Swag Spotlight back in 2018, it seems he has blossomed into a rising star just before our eyes. Over the last couple of years, Robb has garnered a fanbase of loyal fans and continues to gain more and more momentum. Today, he released his highly anticipated self-titled debut EP.

Although the record features four previously released songs and only one new track, the EP is the perfect mix of songs to personify Robb’s talent, charisma, and personality. Beginning with the newest released single, “Me On You,” the country crooner sings about the power of love and its similarity to an addiction. The ambiguity within the lyrics is both enticing and captivating, everything a good song should be. The consistent drums only add to the stylized track.

The Turning Point:

Robb continues to showcase his brand of country music with a new track entitled “Good Love and Good Whiskey.” The flirtatious song is the perfect addition to the singer’s catalog. Robb compares good love to good alcohol in the new song. The feel-good track is begging for a catchy and clever music video to accompany it.

“What kinda fool leaves his top-shelf sitting on ice / Watch 90 proof lose its smooth / Baby that just ain’t right / Same kinda guy who brings his girl to the bar with guys like me around / Who knows good love and good whiskey ain’t good watered down”

Today:

Of course, the self-titled project also features the songs that put Robb on the map, including “Lead Me On,” “Tell Me How,” and “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You.” The first is arguably one of the best on the project. “Lead Me On,” his debut single, is a song about a clever narrative in that push-pull type of relationship. Despite the repercussions, the gravitational pull is too strong to deny. In the same vein, “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You” admits that drinking around an ex is not the best idea, but remains weak to that notion. Written by top wordsmiths, Shane McAnally, Trevor Rosen, and Joshua Osborne, the song is definitely a standout track.

“You say that we can be friends / But, hey, let’s be honest / There ain’t really no such thing / As gin and platonic”

On the other hand, “Tell Me How” is the lone, somber ballad off the project. A necessary departure from the other tunes, Robb lays his heart out on the line for fans, with his vocals, and with his songwriting. The break-up track explains how difficult coping with heartache can be, as Robb begs an ex to show him how to get over her. This song proves that the singer shines just as bright on emotive and intricate songs, and we hope for more songs like this one on a future full-length project.

To keep up with Teddy Robb follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

NYCS First Impression: Adam Doleac ‘Famous’ EP

April 17, 2020/in Blog, First Impression, New Music /by Nicole Piering

In October of 2017, our very first LIVE Swag Session featured none other than Adam Doleac, and in 2018, we named him as one of our Artists to Watch. Today, nearly three years since that first Swag Session, Doleac has released his Famous – EP with Sony Music Nashville.

The six-song collection features a handful of previously released tracks, including “Famous,” “Whiskey’s Fine,” and a new version of “Mom and Daddy’s Money.” Doleac also included the sultry “Neon Fools” and the mid-tempo ode to not going home alone, “Solo.”

The EP also features the driving new track, “I Choose Lonely,” one of the collection’s highlights. “If it ain’t you/ If it can’t be you/ Then maybe I choose lonely,” He sings. “I’ve never been so sure of being so damn sure of something/ And if what you got ain’t what I get then I don’t want nothing/ If it ain’t you/ Then baby maybe I choose lonely.”

While some of the EP’s other tracks may have been previously released, they include Doleac’s brilliant breakthrough hit “Whiskey’s Fine,” which features the brilliant play on words, inviting someone to “Come on in, the whiskey is fine.”

There’s also the newly recorded version of his independent release. “Mom and Daddy’s Money,” which is a piano-driven ballad telling the coming of age tale of him realizing everything his parents sacrificed and gave him. “The older I got/ The more I saw,” He admits here, “This whole time it was time they bought/ They looked out for me/ Til I didn’t need/ Mom and Daddy’s Mommy.” Doleac is at his best here, honest and heartfelt, flipping the last verse to give back to the parents that gave him so much. “Now I know where it came from/ And I know what it meant/ I know it’s hard to come by and easy to spend/ When time’s get tough/ Man I’ll never tell/ I’ll go through hell so they can live/ In the land of milk and honey/ Mom and Daddy’s money.”

To keep up with Adam Doleac, follow him on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Visit his official website for upcoming tour dates, merch, and more.

Charlie Puth Joins Gabby Barrett for New Version of “I Hope”

April 17, 2020/in Blog, New Music /by Lucie Bernheim

The unstoppable Gabby Barrett is about to make history. She is on the brink of scoring her first #1 on country radio: her debut single, “I Hope” has been climbing the chart for the past year and her hard work is paying off. To celebrate the success of “I Hope”, Barrett surprised fans by releasing a remix of the jam featuring pop singer-songwriter Charlie Puth. Together, the two fuse Barrett’s medium of country and r&b with Puth’s signature pop and hip-hop sound to create a new take on the ground-breaking song.

Barrett takes the first verse and chorus, her voice sailing on the electric guitar hook. Puth takes the second verse and chorus, and he is able to make it feel completely different. His voice is crisp, and he changes the lyrics and narrative to fit a guy’s perspective. “Yeah, babe, I hope he shows up in a 2 am pic with your friends / Hanging onto a girl to just rub it in / I hope you stay up all night all alone waiting by the phone / And then he calls,” he sings moodily. When he sings on the chorus, he is able to show off his incredible range, belting and pouring every emotion into the performance.

“I Hope” is all dressed up this time around, with a dance track and snap beat guiding the song along. Barrett has the pipes of a pop star, so the collaboration feels perfectly natural and is perfect for pop radio. Puth is known for his songs on heartbreak and what it feels like to be done wrong, and the two not only blend well together sonically but are able to portray that feeling of bitterness, true sadness, and animosity. This remix without a doubt will be a crossover smash.

Barrett will be the first female artist since Carly Pearce (2017) to have her debut single go #1; she is topping the Billboard Country Streaming Songs chart, making her the first female country artist to do so since Miranda Lambert (2015); and her single has surpassed over 60 million streams on Spotify. For any artist’s first single, these accomplishments are other-worldly. But it’s even more meaningful that it’s happening to a deserving woman like Barrett.

Right now the world is at a standstill, but at the same time, much-needed change is happening. Ingrid Andress, another new female artist, is about to have a #1 song with her poignant “More Hearts Than Mine”. Andress and Barrett are about to change the game for so many other talented and driven artists — in fact, they already have. They’re bringing something else to the table right now as well, and that’s hope. A year ago, having two debut singles by women reach the top 5 was unheard of. Barrett is proof that things do change; will change, and it’s nice to have some good news these days.

To keep up with Gabby Barrett, you can follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Morgan Wallen Drops Vulnerable “More Than My Hometown”

April 17, 2020/in Blog, New Music /by Erica Zisman

Fans of rising country star, Morgan Wallen are in for a real treat today. The singer-songwriter finally released another song off his highly-anticipated sophomore record. “More Than My Hometown” follows the nostalgic single “This Bar.”

Written with singer-songwriters HARDY and Ernest with Ryan Vojtesak, Wallen knocks it out of the park with this romantic, yet angsty jam. Somehow, in his young career, Wallen has found a way to write and record songs that feel personal and true to his story, while engaging fans across the country genre. This particular cut finds Wallen at a romantic crossroads. Similar to the vibes of former single which is climbing the charts, “Chasin’ You” and deep cut “Talkin’ Tennessee,” the singer pours his heart out on the song, realizing that sometimes people who love each other are headed down two different paths.

Despite the melancholy nature of the narrative, Wallen somehow combines elements of heartbreak with nostalgia and a sense of hope. Although there is conflict in the song, Wallen reminds the girl of all the ways he can and does love her, even though realizing that things might not work out in the end.

“I love you more than a California sunset / More than a beer when you ain’t 21 yet / More than a Sunday morning Lord, turning some poor lost soul found, Hallelujah bound / I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits the hook / When a guy gets the girl at the end of the book / But baby this might be the last time I get to lay you down / ’Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown”

Wallen remains one of the most exciting artists in the genre. He has garnered an incredibly loyal fanbase in his short few years with mainstream attention. With the way his career has blossomed, we are sure his sophomore record is going to bring him to the next level. Soon enough, we predict that the singer will be selling out arenas of his own.

“More Than My Hometown” 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

Throwback Thursday Martina McBride Songs You May Have Forgotten

April 16, 2020/in #TBT, Blog /by Michal Pietrzak

Born in Sharon, Kansas, raised on the dairy farm, worked on the farm and sang from a young age, sold T-shirts for Garth Brooks, released 13 studio albums and 2 cookbooks, won multiple Female Country Artist of the Year awards. That’s Martina McBride for you.

Her soprano voice is one of the most beautiful and powerful in the country music industry. Listening to her songs is like a warm breeze in the evening in the middle of summer, it’s gentle and comforting. It’s something you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

“Martina McBride has that kind of once-in-a-generation voice that’s so phenomenal you’d be happy to listen to her sing the phone book – so thank Heaven she chose to sing country music instead” – Grand Ole Opry

That’s Me – A sad song with a heart-touching music video. Being forgotten and left alone by someone you once loved and still love is the worst feeling in the world. “There’s a photo in an album he don’t notice anymore/ That’s me, that’s me/ There’s a stack of cards and letters buried deep inside a drawer/ That’s me, that’s me”

Where I Used to Have a Heart – Missing someone always leaves a hole in your heart. It’s a crack that doesn’t heal easily it takes time but always leaves a mark. “I’ll guess I’ll learn to live with a different kind of pain/ I’m suffering from a sickness that I cannot give a name/ It’s such a strange sensation I’ve never felt before”

Cry on the Shoulder of the Road – It’s not your typical sad “leaving” tune but it’s more like a bright and hopeful kind of track. “And there ain’t no telling what I’ll find/ But I might as well move down the line/ Because there’s no comfort here in your zip code”

I Won’t Close My Eyes – It’s a song about lost love with a melody in the style of 80’s European Italo Disco slow songs. It’s definitely something unique in country music. “Love’s a matter of trust/ And I just want to believe in us/ But last night in your kiss/ I felt a lie on your lips”

Anything and Everything – It could be interpreted in some ways as a mother expressing her love to her child but more likely it’s a beautiful love song. One of the most beautiful expressions of love. “Close your eyes and baby/ Make a wish and baby/ I’ll give you anything and everything/ The sky’s the limit and my heart is in it”

For The Love of a Woman – When a man finds the right woman than magic happens because “For the love of a woman/ A man unlocks his heart/ And reveals all the secrets it holds/ And the love of a woman/ WIll find his better part/ When he gives her the key to his soul/ He will listen to her dreams/ He will ask her what she needs/ He will help her build the life she wants to live/ He will hold her when she cries/ With a love that never dies/ All these things he will give/ For the love of a woman”

Wearing White – A positive, uplifting and light-hearted story of a girl with a crazy past who found the right man. “She made her life a mess/ But she was young, the past is done/ Now she’s in love/ And putting on a new dress/ It’s white/ And it’s nobody’s business what she wears/ Anyway the ruth is she don’t care/ Baby it’s her life/ She’ll do what she likes/ And she likes wearing white”

I Still Be Me – Always being who you are is the most important lesson from this song. No matter the circumstances always stay true to yourself. “Empires could rise and fall/ The sun could swallow the moon/ And I don’t hold a crystal ball/ But I promise you/ I’ll still be me/ Just a normal girl from small-town nowhere”

House of a Thousand Dreams – A recipe for an amazing marriage, a beautiful story of a loving family and the meaning of true and unimaginable love. “She says, my husband’s a good man gives all that he can/ I know he thinks he’s let me down/ I just want him and the children to be happy/ It’s not always easy, but it’s all I dream about”

Don’t Cost a Dime – It’s the little things that make us happy and they usually don’t cost a dime. The point of the song is to appreciate little things in life and be grateful for all you have. “Climb out of bed and step outside/ Lookup ahead, it’s all blue sky/ You already have what really matters the most in life”

McBride is one of the most talented people in the country music industry. She’s a role model for everyone. She managed to survive in music industry for 28 years and she’s not planning to stop touring and recording music.

To keep up with Martina McBride follow her on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Here Are The Lyrics to Luke Combs’ ‘Six Feet Apart’

April 16, 2020/in Blog, New Music /by Stephanie Wagner

Wednesday (Apr 15.), Luke Combs revealed a brand new unreleased song, “Six Feet Apart” during a special livestream performance on Facebook and Instagram. Written with Brent Cobb and Rob Snyder, the song inspired by COVID-19 and our time in quarantine, reflects on all the things we’re all thinking about – what we’re missing and what we’re going to do when this is all over.

Check out the track in the video above and follow along below for the full lyrics.

LUKE COMBS – “Six Feet Apart” Lyrics

When the dogwoods start to bloom
And the crickets hum their tune
It’s usually about the time
That I feel most alive

But the news has all been bad
And the world just seems so sad
I ain’t had much else going on
So I sat down and wrote this song

I miss my mom, I miss my dad
I miss the road, I miss my band
Giving hugs and shaking hands
It’s a mystery I suppose
Just how long this thing goes
But there’ll be crowds and there’ll be shows
And there will be light after dark
Some day when we aren’t six feet apart

First thing that I’m gonna do
Is slide on in some corner booth
Take the whole damn family out
And buy my buddies all a round
Pay some extra on the tab
Catch a movie, catch a cab
Watch a ballgame from the stands
Probably overwash my hands

I miss my mom, I miss my dad
I miss the road, I miss my band
Giving hugs and shaking hands
It’s a mystery I suppose
Just how long this thing goes
But there’ll be crowds and there’ll be shows
And there will be light after dark
Some day when we aren’t six feet apart

Well there will be light after dark
Some day when we aren’t six feet apart

Luke Combs Revealed A Brand New Song On Livestream

April 16, 2020/in Blog /by Dylan Bestler

2020 ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee, Luke Combs went live on social media last night to perform a few songs for all his quarantined fans.

The first song of his short set was “Lovin’ on You” from his most recent album, What You See Is What You Get. Although some Facebook listeners couldn’t hear it due to audio issues, Combs hit every extended note perfectly, sounding like it was straight off the record. After that, he told his audience that he had just written a new song yesterday with Brent Cobb and Rob Snyder. Although he was a bit wary about debuting it so early, after practicing all day he felt the over 20 thousand people watching deserved to hear it. “Six Feet Apart” is about the things he misses during quarantine life and the first things he’s going to do when it’s all over. Combs spreads some positivity at the end of the chorus with the lyrics “It’s a mystery I suppose, just how long this thing goes, but they’ll be crowds and they’ll be shows. There will be light after dark, one day when we aren’t six feet apart.”

Check out the complete lyrics here and listen to the song in the video below.

Next, he performed one of his biggest hits and concert setlist staples, “She Got the Best of Me”. To end the night he performed a cover of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy”. Not knowing what to expect coming from one of the more traditional country artists, this blew us away. Combs and his powerhouse vocals delivered a stunning acoustic version of the chart-topping hit from 2006. Combs admitted he used to sing this song during soundcheck at his live shows.

While many of us are going through difficult times, we turn to music and use it as an escape from our real-world hardships. It’s so great that artists such as Luke Combs can utilize the technology we are given to bring live music back into our lives. We look forward to many more mini-live stream shows from country artists alike!
