Who Is Mitch Rossell? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

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

Mitch Rossell

Mitch Rossell

Every now and then we get the opportunity to interview independent artists who we think have what it takes to become a superstar. Mitch Rossell is one of those artists. As a singer-songwriter, Rossell has truly found his calling. In our Swag Spotlight this week, our light shines Rossell and his journey to country music, his experience performing with the legendary Garth Brooks, and his brand new song “Ran into You” which features Trisha Yearwood.

Growing up in a small town in East Tennessee, Rossell knew what country living was all about. He recalls always being an avid music listener, “My dad was the one that, musically, I really connect with,” he tells us. “My dad was definitely the big country music listener. My mom was a bit too, but she was into all kinds of stuff, pop, alternative, a lot of great stuff that I feel was a big influence on me too, like Matchbox 20, stuff like that.”

Despite always loving his time listening to music with his family, Rossell indulged in other passions first. He played baseball before switching to golf, even winning three tournaments in the same year. Although he loved sports, he recalls getting burnt out and always wanting to pursue other passions. Still, he did not think to pursue music as a career.

This would later change as the summer before college Rossell’s father sadly passed away inevitably motivating him to do something his dad had always wanted him to do, play guitar. “When he passed away, I just vowed that I would learn one day. […] I just thought ‘hey’ this would be a good time to pick up a guitar.” Rather quickly, Rossell became obsessed with playing and writing music. “I just fell in love with it,” he tells us. After college, the artist quickly made the move to Nashville to pursue his dreams.

Flash forward to today, Rossell can be considered to be Garth Brooks’ protégé in country music by fans and critics alike. Writing songs for the legendary artist, Rossell is the sole writer on Brooks’ number one song “Ask Me How I Know” and a co-writer on his follow-up singles “All Day Long” and “Dive Bar”. When he got the opportunity to open up for Brooks on his sold-out world tour, and even performed with the singer during one of the shows, it was clear to Rossell that he was finally where he was meant to be. “It was a pretty remarkable experience,” he tells us, “It was all pretty surreal for me.” He later added that Brooks helped him to solidify his calling as an artist. “I went out there [and performed] and I couldn’t have been more sure.”

Most recently, the singer-songwriter released a beautiful and touching song with Trisha Yearwood called “Ran into You.” After working up the nerve to ask the superstar to be on the track with him, Rossell was over the moon excited about the song that he worked so hard on.  “I’ve known Trisha now for several years, and I am just a huge fan of not only here as a person, but her musically, and vocally, she’s just a freaking powerhouse,” adding “Her ability is just one of the purest things I’ve ever seen. There’s no doubt shewas  been born to do this”

The song itself is one of those songs that is relatable, yet deeply personal, a true country music story. It expresses how it feels to be scared of love and heartbreak, but finding your person amongst all the uncertainty.

Fans can anticipate more music coming at some point later this year from Mitch Rossell, when the time feels right. He also hopes to get back on the road as soon as possible. With that being said, we are certain that Rossell will continue to increase his staying power, as more and more people get to learn about this superstar talent.

“Overall there’s always something new to create, and you’re always evolving as a person, you’re going through different parts of your life, and you’re wanting to write new stuff that you didn’t want to write about 2-3 years ago,” shared the singer, “It’s always evolving, it’s always changing, it’s always growing, there’s always something to say.”

We agree! To keep up with Mitch Rossell, follow him on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Keith Urban Adds Meaningful Impact to Taylor Swift’s Fearless Re-Release

/in , , /by

With the re-release of Taylor Swift’s Fearless album, Keith Urban is featured on one song, sings vocals on another, and has an even greater impact on the project as a whole, according to Taylor Swift. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the project.

Keith Urban has a major presence on Taylor Swift’s re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor’s Version), and for good reason. Urban is featured on “That’s When (From the Vault)” and can be heard harmonizing on the previous track “We Were Happy (From the Vault)”. As if two doses of their beautifully blended voices weren’t enough, the superstars also shared their love for each other and these collaborations on their socials.

In her Instagram post last week (seen above) that previewed the album’s track-list, Swift made sure to highlight her appreciation for Urban’s music, his long-time support of her, and his involvement in the new project. She shared, “I’m really honored that @KeithUrban is a part of this project, duetting on That’s When and singing harmonies on We Were Happy. I was his opening act during the Fearless album era and his music has inspired me endlessly.”

As the album was officially released on Friday, April 9th, Urban shared a throwback (seen above) of the two on stage together, adding “I hadn’t heard our voice together since sitting in with you on the 1989 tour in Toronto !!! Magic, Congrats TS – you’ve got some gems in that vault !!!! Thanks for having me join you on a couple of them.”

Swift and Urban harmonize effortlessly in their duet “That’s When”, a song about post-breakup sadness and just wanting to be back with that person. After breaking up and missing each other, they are both asking when the other one will take them back. They both know they were in the wrong when they ended things, but are on the same page when it comes to wanting to be back together. When they wake up in the morning, when it’s sunny or storming, when they’re laughing or crying, that’s when they miss each other and that’s also when they’d take the other one back. They never stopped missing one another and there’s no time that they wouldn’t take the other one back. 

“That’s when, when I wake up in the morning // That’s when, when it’s Sunny or storming // Laughing, when I’m crying // And that’s when, I’ll be waiting at the front gate // That’s when, when I see your face // I’ll let you in // And, baby, that’s when’

“We Were Happy” plays the track before “That’s When” on the album. It’s a song about looking back fondly on a past relationship and remembering all the good times and happiness they shared. Even though it ended a while ago, there’s nothing bad to say about it, just that they were truly happy together for a while. 

“When it was good, baby // It was good baby // We showed ‘em all up // No one could touch the way we // Laughed in the dark // Talking ‘bout your daddy’s farm // We were gonna buy someday // And we were happy”

This record is an incredible project with 27 tracks including Taylor’s Version of songs that we know and love as well as new, previously unreleased songs “From The Vault”. 

In addition to Urban’s part on the project, fellow country star Maren Morris also joined Swift on the pre-release single “You All Over Me” (From the Vault). Check out more from the full project here.

Tim McGraw Drops New Song + Reveals Two Deluxe Edition Albums

/in , , /by

Tim McGraw just released a brand new song “God Moves The Pen” along with an exciting announcement. The three-time GRAMMY winner revealed two forthcoming digital deluxe versions of his #1 album Here on Earth Ultimate Edition and Here on Earth Video Edition, both will be available Friday, April 16th.

The deluxe editions project will include McGraw’s duet with Tyler Hubbard, “Undivided”, as well as two bonus movie tracks – “Keep Your Eyes on Me” (McGraw, Faith Hill, Lori McKenna, Shane McAnally) with Faith Hill from the 2017 film The Shack and “Gravity” (McGraw, McKenna) from the Academy Award-winning Documentary Free Solo. The Ultimate Video Edition will include all of the same tracks as the Ultimate Edition, adding videos for six songs: “Here on Earth,” ”I Called Mama”, “Gravy,” “Undivided,” “Thought About You,” and “Neon Church.”

McGraw received extraordinary success on the original Here on Earth album, warranting him these multiple extended versions. When his 16th studio album went #1 on the Billboard Country album chart, it marked McGraw’s fourth straight decade with a #1 album. It was his 19th worldwide #1 and 17th in the US, which tied him for second-most #1 albums in the US, second only to George Strait. 

“God Moves The Pen”, released ahead of the deluxe editions, shares the message that when it comes to love, God can help the heart say what the mouth sometimes can’t. Declarations of love like Shakespeare’s writing or Hank Williams guitar playing are their own forms of love letters and there is no such gesture that is too big or too small whether it be a post-it on a fridge or a tattoo on the skin.

McGraw even includes his favorite love letter, “Red lipstick on a bathroom mirror”, which is how he and Faith Hill got engaged back in 1996. McGraw finally popped the question one night before going on stage after a while of joking with Hill about getting married. She didn’t think he was serious that time since they were in a trailer in the middle of a festival on a rainy night, but he said this time he was. When he returned from his performance, Hill had written “Yes, I’m going to be your wife. I love you” in Sharpie on the portable mirror in his dressing room and sealed it with a lipstick kiss. McGraw still has the mirror today. Hill even repeated the gesture on their 20th wedding anniversary (seen here). Safe to say, the two know the power of a good love letter.  

“Written in the sky, written in the sand // on the back of a car, dragging old tin cans // True love declared with brush and paint // way up there, on a small-town water tank // carved in an oak, or tattooed on the skin // Love moves the heart and God moves the Pen”

Walker Hayes Releases New Song “Make You Cry”

/in , , /by

Walker Hayes just released his latest single, “Make You Cry”, available now, April 9th, everywhere you buy or stream music. Coming off his latest single, “Hope You Miss Me”, a tribute song to his daughter, “Make You Cry” is a love song to his wife. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

Walker Hayes has one of the most unique sounds and story-telling capabilities in country music. The way his songs reel you in forces you to pay attention to each and every lyric. Take for example, “Don’t Let Her”. This is a song that you can’t help but be happy about because it shows how immensely he loves his wife down to all the little details he shares about who she is and what she likes, even though it’s all in the event that something were to happen to him and her not wanting to move on to someone else.

“Craig” is another song that tells you so much about Hayes and his family in just three minutes. A song so essential to Hayes’ story, he named his charitable foundation “Be A Craig”, after the man who gave him and his family a car big enough for all of the kids to be buckled in when the singer-songwriter was struggling to make ends meet, raise a family, and chase a dream.

These songs and so many others are a testament to Hayes’ incredible songwriting ability. While they may not always have such a powerful message, his style remains true to his music, in each and every track, and how he writes and develops each of his songs. 

Just like he always does, Hayes uses his witty play on words to make us think his song is about something completely different, similar to his most recent singles  “I Hope You Miss Me”, “Trash My Heart” , and “Shut Up Kenny”. In “Make You Cry”, Hayes tells us about all the ways he loves to make the one he loves cry happy tears. Just like he did when he’d play guitar for her at 16, or when he proposed to her at 23, making her cry happy tears is one of his favorite things to do. He can’t get over how much he loves seeing her eyes fill with tears, because that’s when he knows he’s doing something right. 

“I love to make you cry, I // Know I hit that right emotion, when your eyes fill up with oceans // Girl I love to make you cry, I // Know I’m really onto something, when that mascara’s running // Girl I love to make you cry”

Brian Kelley: BK’s Wave Pack – EP Review

/in , , , /by

Brian Kelley, who serves as one half of the GRAMMY-nominated duo, Florida Georgia Line, makes his solo debut with brand new EP, BK’s Wave Pack available everywhere today, April 13th. Listen to the 4-track collection and take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.

Kelley and bandmate Tyler Hubbard shocked the country world when they announced the two of them will be focusing more on their solo careers going forward after the release of their latest album, Life Rolls On. Although we are unsure when or if there will be new Florida Georgia Line music in the future, we know that Kelley’s solo career with Warner Music Nashville is just beginning to take off.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who has helped me on my journey to get here. I’m humbled to team up with Warner Music Nashville to take the music I’ve been dreamin’ and schemin’ up to the next level,” Kelley shared in a recent press release. “This is just the beginning of a whole new adventure.”

Fans can sense the entire vibe of this album just by reading the names of the songs. During the pandemic, Kelley spent a lot of time writing and being inspired at the beach. The lead track is a mid-tempo, pop-country crossover that immediately sets the mood. Kelley puts the listener in a tropical paradise, declaring himself the “Beach Cowboy” that “goes John Wayne on these waves.” The following song, “Made By The Water,” is reminiscent of classic Kenny Chesney/Jake Owen, as he portrays a perfect day at the beach.

“Soul of a sailor, born for a boat // My tie-dye girl got their heart floating // The way that it’s going I know when the sun sinks down like a bobber // there’s going to be some love made by the water”

Kelley turns the relaxation up with the next track, “Party on the Beach.” With the sounds from a traditional Hawaiian luau and a screeching seagull, he puts listeners’ minds into vacation mode. In the final track, “Sunday Service In The Sand,” the singer-songwriter shows gratitude for island life by thanking God for his beach-chair blessings. He admits that heaven could not get much closer than this.

“I can feel the salt-water working // High-tide’s taking me to church and // I can’t help but raise my hands to another Sunday service in the sand”

Although the two shared writing and producing credits, Hubbard was the predominant voice on most FGL songs, especially on their last two albums. It was nice to see Kelley venture out and sing along with his voice for a change. We are hopeful to see a full project album from Kelley in the future.

BK’s Wave Pack Track List:

1. “Beach Cowboy” (Brian Kelley, Blake Redferrin, Jake Rose) *
2. “Made By The Water” (Brian Kelley, Corey Crowder, Randy Montana)
3. “Party On The Beach” (Brian Kelley, Corey Crowder, Blake Redferrin, Canaan Smith)
4. “Sunday Service In The Sand” (Brian Kelley, Blake Redferrin, Canaan Smith, Jake Rose)

All Songs Produced by Corey Crowder, Brian Kelley
* Co-Produced by Jake Rose

Along with Hubbard, Kelley is nominated for Duo of the Year at the upcoming ACM Awards this Sunday on April 18th. Their arm-in-arm anthem, “Long Live” hit number one just last week, landing the duo their 18th career chart topper.

Chris Stapleton Lands #1 Song with “Starting Over”

/in , , /by

Chris Stapleton lands the number one song in country radio this week with, “Starting Over”, the title track off his latest album.

If there is one male artist in country music that is due for some much-needed mainstream success, it’s Chris Stapleton. The singer-songwriter is a force in the genre, and it’s about time he gets some radio play. After sitting at number seven on the charts just last week, Stapleton’s current radio single “Starting Over” soared to the top spot! It is now the number one song on country radio.

Despite how talented Stapleton is both as a songwriter and a vocalist, he has had some difficulty in his career getting the support of radio. Things have shifted lately, and Stapleton finds himself getting some justifiable mainstream recognition. Despite not always having radio support, The 5x GRAMMY-award winner has always been an industry favorite. “Starting Over” is the perfect song for Stapleton to shine with now for industry, fans, and commercial success alike. The title track to his latest album, released back in November, is all about keeping our loved ones close, a message we could all use!

“It don’t matter to me // Wherever we are is where I wanna be // And honey for once in your life // Let’s take our chances and roll the dice // I can be your lucky penny // You can be my four-leaf clover // Starting over”

“Starting Over” marks the singer’s third number-one single of his career, following the likes of hit songs “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Broken Halos.” We hope this new hit song starts a trajectory of even more for Stapleton.

Congrats to Stapleton and his team on the success!

Mike Ryan Releases Breakup Anthem “Can Down”

/in , , /by

Mike Ryan’s new song “Can Down” is available today, April 9th, on all streaming platforms. Written by Ryan with Brent Anderson, Smith Ahnquist, and Will Weatherly, take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

Comparing his situation as one between the popular phrase ‘a rock and a hard place’, Swag Spotlight artist alumn, Mike Ryan says it’s more like being between “a case of rolling rock and a heartache” in “Can Down”, and he chooses the prior. He’s refusing to let this heartbreak get to him more than it already has, insinuating that he would rather drink away the pain with no can left behind, than let the 5’2” blue-eyed girl take away his Saturday nights too. 

“I Pick one up, crack it open, put it to my lips // I tip it back, take a sip, cause if // It’s gonna be my heart or these double R’s // crushed up on the ground // can down”

After a long year without live music, Ryan, a Texas-based artist, where he was born and raised has finally got some tour dates on the calendar as concerts return. Check out the full list of shows here.

Country-Latin duo, Kat & Alex Release Two New Songs “Heartbreak Tour”” and “”You and the Radio”

/in , , /by

Rising Sony Nashville Artists and Country-Latin duo, Kat & Alex just released two new songs “Heartbreak Tour”” and “”You and the Radio”. Available now, April 9th on all streaming platforms, take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.

There are some artists that are delightfully one genre, but then there are other artists, who push the boundaries, making for a fresh and captivating new sound. American Idol alum and SONY Nashville recording artists, Kat & Alex are the latter. The now engaged duo creates country music with Latin flair that is as compelling as ever.

Both of the new songs released today, “Heartbreak Tour” and “You and the Radio”, showcase different sides of the duo’s undeniable talent. Fittingly so, “Heartbreak Tour” is a gut-wrenching jam that conveys an all too familiar break-up story. The song feels radio-ready; despite, its somber content. Kat begins the song with a powerful vocal that then expands into killer harmonies between the duo. Alex takes the second verse, showcasing his equally impressive range.

“I be pulling all-nighters with you baby // Telling everyone how you drive me crazy // Right now I don’t know what I’m singing for // On my heartbreak tour”

On the other hand, “You and the Radio” is a more uplifting and positive song that feels just right for summertime. The song is all about a love interest that is that romance you have been waiting for. Everything about that person just lights you up inside. The song is fun and creative, even name-dropping some old-school country classics like “Fishin’ In The Dark” and “Strawberry Wine,” but it’s the guitars and the believability of the couple’s love story that makes the song what it is.

If you were not a fan of Kat & Alex before, give these new tracks a listen and we bet you will be.

LANCO-HONKY-TONK-HIPPIES-EP

LANCO Delivers Nostalgic New Track, “First Beer”

/in , , /by

LANCO’s new song “First Beer” is available now, April 9th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

Platinum-selling country group LANCO are back with their second single of 2021. The group dropped “Near Mrs” at the beginning of the year, and are now following that release with another creative track, “First Beer”.

If the brand new song could personify anything it would be nostalgia. LANCO created a song that makes us all go back to the time we drank our first beer, but moreover, the time where we were so smitten with another person for the first time. It’s so interesting how certain memories are etched into our brains and hearts for a lifetime; despite, how minuscule that might have been in the grand scheme of things.

“We lost touch after high school, but I don’t really remember why // As the years go by // And the memories fade // There’s a night in July // That always stays // ’cause I remember my first beer // It was a bittersweet taste, but I had a straight face // Raised it up and I said cheers // Like a scene in the movies // Doing something to me // the memory is crystal clear // it went down pretty smooth, but if you want to know the truth // I remember my first beer // ’cause I drank it, I drank it // with you”

LANCO's "First Beer" is available now, April 9th
