Kelleigh Bannen Can’t Get Enough of This “Deluxe” Love

Kelleigh Bannen is back with new music, and a rocking “Deluxe” single off her upcoming studio album. Known for nailing emotionally-heavy and feisty uptempos (whichever route she decides to take with each song), Bannen and co-writer Danielle Blakey put a badass, sassy twist to a love story on this tune.

Drawing comparisons to an over-the-top hotel stay and lavish lifestyle choices, the song paints the picture of a relationship that one just can’t seem to ever get enough of.

“Pulling off exit 105, turning in the parking lot of an old motel / Sign says AC and cable TV no extra charge / And I’m like damn that’s kinda like you / You love like a free upgrade room with a view of the pool / It’s open til sunset only the best for the best”

With a listen to Bannen’s new tune, we figured out some qualities of this extravagant lover she sings of.
1. He is a 22% tipper
2. Treats the lady to a buffet dinner on a date night
3. Doesn’t scrimp on the good stuff
The end product of this luxurious elaborateness? A “gold-plated” and “first-rated” relationship, as Bannen sings proudly of.

Sonically, “Deluxe” could fall into the same family of songs Bannen’s “You Are What You Love,” “Sorry On The Rocks” and “Famous.” But, her latest release has vocal deliveries that augment the edginess and plausibility of this almost too-good-to-be-true relationship. “I just loved the idea for this song, about being a love with a little extra, and still being very relatable to so many people. I had the title for a while and finally was able to write and record it. I’m excited to be able to share it with my fans,” said Bannen in a recent press release.

Kudos to the two brilliant writers and producer Jaren Johnston (of The Cadillac Three) for giving what would seem like a plain vanilla happy love story; a fresh, hifalutin twist! Can all our relationships be this fancy too? Damn!

NYCS First Impression: Aaron Watson ‘Red Bandana’

/in , /by

Aaron Watson Red Bandana

Aaron Watson is celebrating a huge milestone year, being in the music industry for 20 years, with a new album, Red Bandana. In the days leading up to Watson’s latest album, he took to Instagram to describe each track and how it came about. Red Bandana is not the traditional 10-12 track album and Watson doesn’t play by the rules of the industry as an independent artist. One thing to notice about him compared to any other artists is his ability to tell a story. Whether it is his own personal journey, loss, or success, a moment with a fan turned into a song, or a meaningful conversation, Watson is able to pull great songs out of anything.

The album’s cover is a simple red bandana just like the name although it’s meaning is much bigger. Watson shared on Instagram earlier this year, “To me there’s nothing more classic, more country, or more cowboy than an old red bandana. It signifies hard work, grit, and determination… I needed a cover that would reflect the meaning behind the music. I needed something with more substance than just another cover with my picture on it. The title track is a cowboy poem, so I decided, why not just photograph my Dad’s old red bandana. We tilted the square red bandana 45 degrees and there it was, like a diamond in the rough!”

Watson is right. Upon first listen, “Ghost of Guy Clark” has is such a cowboy tone to it, just like a Chris Ledoux classic. A clear ode to staying true to yourself, something the singer-songwriter clearly represents. Fading into “El Comienzo Del Viaje,” you will notice that there are no words in the minute and a half song. The sounds of an abandoned Texas town and fiddles quickly turns into sounds of a victory, like any triumphant story.

The latest single off the record “Kiss That Girl Goodbye” is based on an encounter Watson had with a fan. He shared earlier this year on his Instagram that a girl came up to meet him after a concert and told him that she was supposed to come here with her boyfriend but after she dumped him she still came to celebrate by herself. What better way to celebrate than to have Watson write such an upbeat song! Other hits include “Trying Like the Devil,” “Old Friend,” and “Riding With Red” with new music videos for each.

Out of all the songs on the album, the last one “58” is arguably the most powerful. It’s a tribute to the 58 men and women that lost their lives at the Route 91 tragedy. A few months after the shooting in Vegas, Watson played there for National Finals Rodeo where he met a sweet woman who had lost a close friend during the tragedy. She suggested that someday he should write a song for all the victims and their families. “58” is an ode to those who passed and lost loved ones during the tragedy last year. Watson once again makes a point to pay tribute to his hero, draw awareness to issues, write heart-melting love songs, and more all into one beautiful and cohesive album.

To keep up with Aaron Watson, follow him on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Red Bandana 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.

NYCS Woman of the Month: Evelyn Shriver

/in /by

We’re bringing you stories from women who are chasing their dreams and building a life that they love with New York Country Swag’s, “Woman of the Month.”

Each month, we highlight a different female pursuing her passions. Introducing you to women who are taking risks, working relentlessly and turning their dreams into reality. These are empowering women who serve as role models and should be celebrated.

Evelyn Shriver

This month we interviewed another icon in the music business in Nashville, Evelyn Shriver. Shriver is the second half of the Shady Ladies of Music City along with Susan Nadler who we had the pleasure of featuring last month. The ladies together infiltrated the music business in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming the first women to ever run a music label, Asylum Records. In our most recent phone call, Shriver tells us her secret to a long marriage, all about working with Randy Travis and her advice for women in the music industry.

Growing up, Shriver’s father was in the military, and she tells us about living in Germany when she was 13 years old. She recalls going to the teen club to hear music and although it was all of the music popular in the states, it would take about six months for the “new” music to make its way to Germany. She explains that you could go to the teen club and that’s where you could listen to music, and maybe even find your husband. “My husband who I’ve been married to for 47 years, the very first time I saw him I walked into the teen club in Germany and his band was rehearsing,” she explains. Astounded, we were sure to ask what the secret to a long, happy marriage is and Shriver tells us: “The secret is, there are no rules, you just treat each other like you want to be treated and we’ve followed that our entire marriage and it’s worked out pretty good.”

When she came back to the states she finished up high school then joined her soon-to-be-husband in New York where she started working at a public relations firm. “I didn’t even know PR was a thing before I got started, we are talking about 45 years ago,” she tells us. “The company I went to work for represented Carey Grant, Bette Davis, and Joan Crawford who were huge stars, and I thought this was so interesting even though I was just the receptionist at the time.”

After starting her own business in New York, Shriver got sick of living in a one bedroom apartment, she longed for simple things like her own washer and dryer and a BBQ, so while her husband explored the songwriting opportunities in Nashville, she knew she could move there and her business would continue to thrive. She started working with Randy Travis from the very start of his career, explaining that he and his manager then turned wife Lib Hatcher were not familiar with big city living. “The first time we went to Europe on a USO tour, they wanted to go to McDonald’s, that’s not the place you go to in Paris,” she laughs. She also goes on to tell us a story about one of their first trips to L.A. and how they went to a fancy Italian restaurant and Lib ordered a salad, which was only mixed greens with dressing so she proceeded to whip out a fresh tomato from her purse, cut it up and add it to the salad in front of her.  “I was just thinking to myself, ‘What the hell is the waiter going to think’,” she giggles.

Susan Nadler, Willie Nelson, and Evelyn Shriver

She talks honestly about being a publicist and giving everything you have for your clients which includes making sacrifices in your own life. “As an older person now looking back, its ‘what happened to my life’.  I realize I don’t do anything, I don’t have kids, I don’t have any hobbies,” she explains.  “And it wasn’t that I never intended to not have children, I was always just too busy to have children, then I no longer could have children, you give up a lot for people. You have to be available 24/7 for your clients.”

After meeting Susan Nadler in 1988, the two women teamed up to run Asylum Records, making them the first females to ever run a major Nashville label. They went on to sign George Jones and help him release his Grammy-winning album Cold Hard Truth. “I thought it was really good for the town for it to not be one of the usual suspects that got the job, a man and my clients were very supportive, they knew it would be hard to turn it down,” Shriver says of taking the position.

We discussed the nature of women in the music industry and on country radio currently and she tells us how recently she went to an event hosted by her friends Tracey Gershon and Beverly Keel as well as Leslie Fram who run ‘Change the Conversation’. “The place was packed, it must have been 200 women so it’s great that there are all of these women here but I don’t hear the conversation changing much. It seems to be pretty much the same scenario, the guys are running it and the women are doing the cleanup,” she says.  “There are a lot of people talking about it but following the press coverage and women on the charts, a year has gone by and there has been one woman to take the top spot.”

After forty years in the music business, Shriver has seen a lot and gives a great few lines of advice for women trying to make their dreams come true in this industry. “My feeling is, you almost have to carve out your own space which is one of the reasons I always had my own company. Just be strong, don’t take the shit from anybody. People always said they were afraid of me or intimated by me because I always told the truth, why is that so scary? I think you just have to stand up for what you believe and if you do that, that will change the conversation.”

The Shady Ladies of Music City podcast is now live and showcases Evelyn and Susan and their hilarious stories about their journies. Check out each of the episodes below.

Country Lyrics That Inspire You to Follow Your Dreams

/in /by

May your dreams stay big and your worries stay small…

No matter how big or small, how simple or seemingly impossible, we are all born with our own passions, dreams, and ambitions. In a world like the one that we live in, where we are constantly exposed to the lives and success of others, reaching our own dreams can sometimes seem almost impossible or more intimidating than ever.  However, every country music fan knows that no matter how humble your beginnings, with great perseverance and faith in yourself, anything can be achieved.

Lee Ann Womack Dreams

Sometimes, holding on and keeping focus is easier said than done, however listening to and living by the lyrics of these country songs should pick you up each time you lose ambition along the way:

1: “Some dreams stay with you forever, Drag you around, but bring you back to where you were, Some dreams keep on gettin’ better, Gotta keep believin’ if you wanna know for sure” –  “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” – Eli Young Band

2: “Majorin’ in Undecided, Notebook full of bad songs I was writin’, Never dreamed anybody else would like ‘em, Now they’re sittin’ on a Walmart shelf” – “Life Changes” – Thomas Rhett

3: “And there’s so much more room for runnin’ and space to discover, A whole wide world to see, She’s dreamin’ about the girl that she’s gonna be, Stuck in Rice County, growin’ her wings” – “Growing Her Wings” – Lauren Alaina

4: “Days go by, I can feel ‘em flying, Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by, Yeah, it’s all we’ve been given, So you better start livin’ right now” – “Days Go By” – Keith Urban

5: “My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold” – “My Wish” – Rascal Flatts

6: “When the dreams you’re dreamin’ come to you, When the work you put in is realized, Let yourself feel the pride but, Always stay humble and kind” – “Humble and Kind” – Tim McGraw

7: “I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance, Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’” – “I Hope You Dance” – Lee Ann Womack

8: “If you trust your rebel heart, ride it into battle, Don’t be afraid, take the road less traveled” – “Road Less Traveled” – Lauren Alaina

9: “You gotta live to learn, You gotta crash and burn, You gotta make some stances, And take some chances, You gotta live and love, And take all life has to give, You gotta live and learn, So you can learn to live” – “Learn to Live” – Darius Rucker

10: “You got so much up ahead, You’ll make new friends, You’ll see your kids and wife, And I’d end by saying have no fear, These are nowhere near the best years of your life” – “Letter to Me” – Brad Paisley

Mason Ramsey Brings the “Twang” In His New Single

/in /by

Mason Ramsey Twang

Twelve-year-old Mason Ramsey, otherwise known as the Yodeling WalMart Kid and Lil’ Hank Williams, released his new single, “Twang” and the music video that goes along with it last Friday (6/15). Ramsey sings about everything his girl loves about him, especially his southern twang.

“She loves me for my twang / Reminds her of a little Hank / When she hears me on the radio / She knows that it’s me by the way I sang”

You can watch the whole video below!

Ramsey gets in trouble at school and is literally dragged to the principal’s office. When Principal Jackson leaves the room, Ramsey takes the mic and sings to his crush over the loudspeaker. Upon hearing the song, she runs out of the room to pull the fire alarm, so the two youngsters can be together.

This song is the follow-up to Ramsey’s six-track, 2018 EP, Famous. Three of the six songs are Hank Williams covers [“Lovesick Blues”, “I Saw the Light” and “Jambalaya (On the Bayou)”] and three are original songs including his first single “Famous” that peaked on the US Hot Country Songs chart at number four.

Ramsey, born and raised in Golconda, Illinois, found the spotlight when the video of him yodeling at WalMart became an internet sensation. In April of 2018, he signed a record deal with Atlantic Records and Nashville-based label Big Loud. Ramsey has supported multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line during their Live From Las Vegas residency. After completing his first sold-out headline tour this past spring, Ramsey will hit the road later this year for the fall leg of his headlining “How’s Ur Girl & How’s Ur Family Pt. 2” Tour. New Yorkers can catch Ramsey at the Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan on Thursday, October 10th.

To keep up with Mason Ramsey, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Twang” is available anywhere 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.

Sam Hunt Returns With A “Big” Announcement

/in /by

Country singer-songwriter, Sam Hunt has been living a quiet life lately, as it’s been over a year since he released his newest song, “Downtown’s Dead” or posted on social media. Lately, Hunt has been emerging at festivals across the country, including Stagecoach, Off The Rails Country Music Fest, and Country Jam, making fans wonder if he would drop new music and regain his country music stardom.

Hunt unexpectedly took to his Instagram stories last night (June 18) with an obscure countdown, which included four emojis of a house, mic, beer, and a cowboy leading fans to believe that new music was coming. As the announcement grew closer and the countdown finally ended, the ‘big’ news was revealed. Much to fans disappointment (except for maybe those in Canada) the superstar announced he will be a part of the Bud Light House Party Tour in Calgary on September 19th.

Fans were quick to take to Twitter to share their feelings…

 

 

 

Apparently, today is not the day that Hunt will return with new music, but for future announcements fans can keep up with Sam Hunt, follow on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
