Restless Road Shares New Song “Work On Me”

/in , , /by

Restless Road’s new song “Work On Me” is out now, January 3rd on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the new track below.

Country powerhouse band, Restless Road have found their sound in the genre. While we loved their most recent release, “Done It By Now,” Restless Road’s first song of 2025 is one of their absolute best. Today, the group released a new song called, “Work On Me.”

Restless Road’s seamless harmonies are hard to beat. The threesome smoothly move through the touching lyrics, as they sing about bettering themselves. “Work On Me” is a song that expresses wanting to be better for a significant other, asking for some help and patience too. While the lyrics are beautiful and honest, the catchy chorus, guitar riffs, and jaw dropping harmonies truly steal the show.

“Could use a wrench tune and a coat of paint // This heart of mine it comes as is // Can’t make no guarantees // If that works for you, you got the tools // Do what you do, bay work on me // Trust me girl I’m one hell of a project // But I’ve still got some shine that you can’t see // I know that I ain’t no quick fix // Buy those blue eyes and that kiss // Might work on me // Yeah, baby work on me”

Listen to “Work On Me” ASAP!

The Best Country Christmas Songs of 2024

/in , /by

Every year, the country music genre gives us new and fresh Christmas music to get us excited for the holiday season. Here are the best country Christmas songs of 2024!

“The Cozy Song” – Dan + Shay

This year, Dan + Shay finally released their long-awaited Christmas album called, It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album. The record features ten covers and nine brand new, original songs by the iconic duo. “The Cozy Song” is one of our personal favorites off the project for many reasons. “Cozy” is the perfect word to describe the perfect holiday season.

 

“Country Christmas” – Harper Grace

Harper Grace’s “Country Christmas” is nostalgia at its finest. Filled with Christmas mainstays and countrified lyrics. The Texas native countrified Christmas, tipping her hat to everything that makes a cowboy-holiday. This is the perfect song to add to your Christmas catalog.

 

“Christmas To Me” – Riley Green

Riley Green can truly do no wrong. His brand new original holiday song, “Christmas To Me” is an honest snapshot of what the holiday season is like for him. Like his other music, the new song is honest, relatable, and the perfect storytelling anthem.

 

“All I Want For Christmas Is A Cowboy” – Megan Moroney

Right on theme, Megan Moroney shares a three-song EP called Blue Christmas …duh featuring this iconic new song, another song called, “Christmas Morning,” and a cover of “Blue Christmas.” This particular song has become a hit with fans, even going viral on TikTok. The song is fun, sassy, and feels like it would fit in with Moroney’s existing catalog of songs, which is hard to do with a holiday project.

 

“Tennessee Christmas” – Little Big Town

Country superstars, Little Big Town completely Christmas-fy country music, bringing fans an entire album to celebrate with all season long. The record features both originals and classics, leaving songs for every single type of Christmas music listener.

/in , , /by

George Birge earns his second number one this week at country radio with “Cowboy Songs”. Get all the details here!

As fate would have it our first spotlight artist of 2024 earns the last number one single at country radio of the year! RECORDS Nashville recording artist, George Birge has officially earned his second number one song at country radio with his single, “Cowboy Songs.”

The song has had a steady rise up the charts since its release. “Cowboy Songs” is the title track from the singer’s project that he released in April. Written by Birge with Lalo Guzman, Matt McGinn, and Michael Tyler, “Cowboy Songs” is edgy, catchy, and alluring – all qualities that make it an obvious choice for a single at country radio.

“She only dances to cowboy songs // Loves to get lost in a moment // She comes alive when the neon’s on // Don’t wanna leave ’til it’s closing // So I’ve got a twenty on the jukebox to keep it playing // Anything that sounds like Waylon // And right here’s where I’ll be staying all night long // ‘Cause she only dances to cowboy songs // She only dances to cowboy songs (she only dances to cowboy songs)”

Congrats to Birge and his team on an impressive number one! We can’t wait for an even more exciting 2025!

Graham Barham Shares New Single “You Won’t Let Me Stay”

/in , , /by

Graham Barham shares brand new single, “You Won’t Let Me Stay,” out now, December 13th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.

Sony Music Nashville recording artist, Graham Barham knows how to craft a catchy song with lyrics you have no choice but to pay attention to. Barham is on an absolute roll, releasing songs that speak to both his talent as a songwriter and his ability to create a catchy song that rivals artists like Morgan Wallen. Today, Barham is adding to his catalog with another new song called, “You Won’t Let Me Stay.”

In a recent press release, Barham shared some background behind the new single. “The song is really asking, ‘You want me here, but do you care for me?’ The story tellers in Nashville are unbelievable and I really have to credit this song to Lindsay Rimes. He brought the song to life. The way the production is pieced together is beyond what I thought it could be.”

Written by Barham with Cole Miracle, Lindsay Rimes, and Michale Whitworth, “You Won’t Let Me Stay” depicts the push-push of a relationship that cannot quite close the door for good. It’s an all too relatable feeling. The song conveys the message without feeling too repetitive. The song is full of clever lyrics and a beat that is hard not to groove to.

“How you change your mind // Girl it’s messing with my head // Think I’ll just drink tonight // Cuz if I end up in your bed  // You won’t let me stay, you let me stay // You won’t let me go, you won’t let me go, no // You don’t know if I”m a locked screen door // Or the lockscreen on your phone // I’ll be at the bar killing Casamigos // Racking up a shot count, Quentin Tarantino // Baby, you won’t let it be over // So, you won’t let me stay // You won’t let me stay // Sober, sober // Sober, sober”

We are excited to see what comes down the pipeline next for the singer-songwriter. “You Won’t Let Me Stay” is definitely worth listening to!
