Jordan Rowe Releases New Song “5:00 In The Country”

/in , , /by

Jordan Rowe releases new song, “5:00 In The Country,” out now, July 29th on all streaming platforms. Listen  to the brand new track below.

Almost a year after releasing his debut album, Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy, Jordan Rowe is back with new music, “5:00 In The Country”. 

This is the perfect song to turn on after a hard week of work. It reminds you that no matter the type of week you’ve had, the weekend is the time to put in the past and enjoy doing the things you love.

Written by Rowe, Hunter Phelps, and Driver Williams, this song will not only have you up and dancing but will also take you to church. Accompanied by an actual choir, the vocalists join the singer-songwriter during the uplifting chorus.  As they emphasize the word up, you’ll automatically feel as if you are joining them at their Sunday worship.

“Get up, everybody from the hill to the holler //  Fill up the gas tank and a cooler full of swollers // Pull up to the party with ya clean truck muddy // Stop, pop a top it’s 5 o’clock in the country”

Being part of a choir is nothing new to Rowe. The South Georgia native grew up singing in his hometown choir which started his love of performing. We love that he is sticking to his roots and continues to incorporate his faith into his music. 

Already sharing the stage with award-winning artists including Luke Combs, Rowe is gearing up for his own headlining tour in the South later this year. We can’t wait to continue to watch his career develop!

Elvie Shane

Listen: “My Boy”

Jordan Rowe: ‘Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy’ – Album Review

/in , , , /by

Jordan Rowe’s debut album, Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy, is out today, August 6, featuring “I Didn’t Sleep Last Night” and “Mama Ain’t Jesus” with Lainey Wilson. Read our full review below as we dig into the new project.

Country newcomer Jordan Rowe has a “bad, bad case of the good ole’ boy,” a theme that weaves its way throughout his debut album of the same name, out today, August 6. Inspired by the likes of Alan Jackson, Joe Diffie, and Luke Bryan, the Georgia native has a sound that’s both modern yet traditional. “I’m so excited to finally be putting out a full independent project. I’ve been working on some of these songs since 2019 and there was a lot of work that went into finding a unique sound,” shared the singer in a statement. “I  wanted to keep it young and competitive, but also make good country music like you and I grew up on.”

Produced by Derek Wells and released via River House Artists, Rowe’s influences are apparent on Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy, as he’s tried and true country on each of the album’s eight songs, beginning with its title track. The opener sets the stage for the rest of the album, as he sings of “kickin’ in these boots” and “digging in these roots.” Here, the singer-songwriter is unapologetically himself, embracing both who he is and the life he lives.

“Can’t in a Car” is a tongue-in-cheek ode to a truck and all the things you can’t do in a car, Rowe musing that “once you go truck, you never go back.” Meanwhile, the album’s first single, “I Didn’t Sleep Last Night,” is a new spin on the classic breakup song. Rowe is intent to stick it to an ex and prove he’s moved on by getting drunk and spending the night with someone new. On the twangy mid-tempo, he assures an ex that he didn’t stay up thinking of her, which is clearly a lie as he laments, “No, I didn’t sleep last night // I met me someone new // And we drank ’til we felt right // Hell, she even kinda looked like you // And we watched that sun come up // And you never even crossed my mind.”

While Rowe definitely embraces his raucous side on a few tracks, he shines even brighter on the ballads. On “The Good Ones Do,” he sings of all of the “good ones” in his life, including friends, coaches, pastors, and a special woman. “And every girl don’t dance // Barefoot in the rain // And every girl don’t stay // When she could’ve walked away // And every girl don’t like // A man in worn-out boots // And every girl don’t make you feel // Like she got lucky too // But the good ones do.”

On “Mama Ain’t Jesus,” Rowe celebrates his mother in the heartfelt song, accompanied perfectly by stunning background vocals from Lainey Wilson. Over twangy guitars, the pair sings of a woman who’s as close to Jesus as a human can possibly be. 

“I bet she’ll walk them streets of gold with a silver medal // And while the good lord comes back down to get us she’ll fill in // I ain’t been yet, but I’ve got a glimpse of Heaven // Cause Mama ain’t Jesus but she’s a close second.”

The album wraps up with “10-4,” featuring country legends Rhett Akins, Tracey Lawrence, and Eddie Montgomery. This track sounds straight out of the 90’s in the best possible way, as the four-country traditionalists sing from the perspective of truck drivers, traveling the open road.

“If you’re thinking I’m a certified son of a gun // Haul a whole lotta country in my ol half-ton // Work like a dog til the work gets done // Give the beer off my back if you ain’t got none,” they sing. “ If you think I got a bad case of good ol boy // Ya damn right buddy that’s a big 10-4.”

Rowe co-wrote all eight of the tracks on Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy, and it’s safe to say that he’s crafted a perfect introduction of himself to the country world. The collection is a solid one that’s sure to win over droves of new fans with each new song.

Jordan Rowe Collaborates with Lainey Wilson on New Song “Mama Ain’t Jesus”

/in , , /by

Jordan Rowe collaborates with Lainey Wilson on brand new song, “Mama Ain’t Jesus” available now, July 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new track.

Country newcomer and Georgia-native, Jordan Rowe released a brand new track today (July 23), “Mama Ain’t Jesus” featuring Lainey Wilson. The gentle, somber ballad will appear on his upcoming debut album, Bad Case of the Good Ole Boy due out August 6th.

“I bet she’ll walk them streets of gold with a silver medal // And while the good lord comes back down to get us she’ll fill in // I ain’t been yet, but I’ve got a glimpse of Heaven // Cause Mama ain’t Jesus but she’s a close second”

We’ve seen Rowe’s fun side with the title track. Now, we get to hear his sensitive side with his ode to mothers, “Mama Ain’t Jesus.” Similar to how Luke Bryan, his childhood idol, honors moms in “Most People Are Good,” Rowe expresses the same gratitude towards his own mother; a good Christian who would give you the shirt off her back if it was the last thing she had. He claims that she isn’t quite Jesus himself, but a close second. Wilson, who is riding the success of her top-15 single “Things A Man Oughta Know,” provides beautiful backing vocals on the track. Other songs that will be featured on the album include “Who Needs You,” “I Didn’t Sleep Last Night,” and four other unreleased tracks.

Rowe incorporates a traditional country sound with a modern-day twist into his music. His influences growing up include artists such as Alan Jackson, Joe Diffie, and Luke Bryan. He has a few dates on his tour schedule—for tickets, head to his website. Wilson will be touring with Jason Aldean and HARDY on Aldean’s Back in the Saddle Tour, which will hit the New York/New Jersey Area at PNC Bank Arts Center and Jones Beach August 6th and 7th, respectively.

The new song is fans’ first taste at the upcoming record. “I Didn’t Sleep Last Night” showcases Rowe’s 90s influences and killer vocals. A heartbreak song, the track encourages the listener to explore the depths of love and love loss. Although melancholy, the song takes a turn, as the protagonist finally meets someone new, one step closer to healing.

“I told myself I was just gonna stay home // Think about you from the couch with the game on // Go to bed early, lay there wide awake // Till my buddies called and said come on // just have one and call it a day // then I realized that I was gonna be up either way”

Fans can anticipate even more releases from the rising star over the next couple of months. The eight-song project will feature modern and traditional sounds, showcasing Rowe’s fresh taste on country music.

Last year we interviewed newcomer, Jordan Rowe for our Swag Spotlight Artist feature, and we knew then that he was an entertainer we had to keep our eye on. A River House artist, Rowe is a killer songwriter and vocalist; however, today’s song is an outside cut that he was proud to record. The singer released a song that feels made for him called “More Me.”

Twangy, yet modern, Rowe’s vocals fit this song perfectly. Written by hitmakers, Corey Crowder, Cole Taylor, and Randy Montana, “More Me” is the perfect country song for so many reasons. Rowe shared in a recent press release, “I usually write 3-5 songs a week, but I heard “More Me” and felt like exactly what I wanted to say as an artist.”

“I’m a little more me when I’m loving on you // Like it’s what this boy was born to do // Little more what I am // Little less what I ain’t // trying to think of somewhere better, but baby I can’t // It’s like the good Lord got me where he wants me to be // ‘Cause when I’m loving on you I’m a little more me”

The song effortlessly portrays what it’s like to be in a relationship that makes you feel exactly like who you are meant to be. We all know those people and those places that put us at ease and allow us to authentically be ourselves, and that’s the message of this song. Rowe’s honest conviction and clear talent make this song a true standout.

Who Is Jordan Rowe? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

/in , /by

After releasing his debut track to the world, “Good For Nothin'”, newcomer Jordan Rowe spoke with NYCountry Swag about his backstory and his journey to Nashville. Read more about him below.

Jordan Rowe

 

As always, our Swag Spotlight this week features a rising artist that our team thinks our readers will love. Jordan Rowe, south Georgia native grew up singing in church much like many country stars however when we discuss in a recent chat about the artists that have influenced his life and his career, we don’t hear the usual ‘Johnny Cash’, ‘Merle Haggard’ or ‘George Strait’. Rowe laughs when saying that he recalls being most influenced by early Luke Bryan music, something that is refreshing to hear. He attended the University of Georgia and started performing as an opening act for artists around Athens, spending his summers in Nashville writing and interning at River House records before making the permanent move in June of 2019.

Since his move, its been a whirlwind of accomplishments including being signed to River House in partnership with Ashley Gorley’s publishing company Tape Room Music. “To have the opportunities that I’ve had so quickly, its such a blessing and that is all credit to God and his plan. I pray for opportunities to come and try to make the most of them when I get them, working really hard, writing so many songs lately and just working as hard as I can at it, being thankful for everything that this happened and soak it in and enjoy it.”

Rowe has also was able to be a part of Luke Combs’ Beer Never Broke My Heart tour last year playing the tailgate shows before opening acts Jameson Rodgers and Morgan Wallen, letting us know that that experience just him and his guitar getting to play for their fans was one of his favorite parts of this journey so far.

In a press release announcing his joint publishing deal, Rowe stated “One of my favorite Bible verses is Proverbs 16:9 which says, ‘The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.’” and during our chat, we discussed why he wanted to share that verse with the industry. “I was playing a show at the Georgia Theatre a while back, I was opening and a guy who was there owned an apparel company and gave me a box and in that box, he wrote a note to me and wrote that verse on it and I had never read that verse before,” he explains. “I thought it was so cool because I have planted my heart, I want to be a successful singer and songwriter but the Lord is establishing my steps to get there, from that moment on, every setlist I write that verse at the bottom of it because sometimes, I am singing to empty rooms or to people who act like they don’t care at all, but then I can look down at that setlist and say to myself, this might not be the best thing but this is one of those steps to where I want to be and where I am supposed to be.”

His faith in the process and his confidence in his craft, Rowe continues to shape the kind of artist and songwriter that he wants to be. Combining and melding a traditional sound with a freshness found in modern-day country, his debut single “Good For Nothin'” is the perfect way to showcase his versatility and who he is. “Traditional country twang is just where I naturally go, but I also feel like that is what people are longing for right now, that more traditional sound,” he states.

For fans of Luke Bryan, Morgan Wallen, and Jon Pardi will find a brand new favorite artist in Jordan Rowe. Thanking his eclectic taste in music, he understands that listeners today are loving a broad spectrum of genres and he hopes to write and record a cohesive first project over the course of the next year that will showcase all of his musical tastes and introduce his signature sound to country music fans.

/in , , /by

Jordan Rowe has released his debut song, “Good For Nothin'”, available on all streaming platforms now.

A new artist that we are excited about, Jordan Rowe was recently discovered by River House Artists, which includes superstars such as Luke Combs and Jameson Rodgers. Rowe is a great vocalist and songwriter, marking his debut release with a song entitled “Good For Nothin’.”

With a twang that is hard to miss, the South Georgia native laments on the track about taming his wild ways for a girl, who decided to break-up with him anyway. Written by the Rowe with songwriters, Ray Fulcher and Jay Brunswick, the song is traditional country mixed with a modern flair. Although the track appears lyrically to be sad, sonically the song uplifts us, and ultimately Rowe becomes a guy who is happy to get back to his good ole country boy roots.

Jordan Rowe Good For Nothin'

“A little bit of you made a lot of me go away and mostly my wild side / Now I’m a Sunday morning saint / Got some narrow in my straight, leaving kind’s one thing I ain’t, but I can’t say the same ‘bout you / Now mama always said that the good guys win, but she must’ve never met you cause after all I did / All it is good for nothing, but cold beers but he dozen with good for nothing boys like me”

In his short career, Rowe has already performed with some of the most promising names in country music right now, including Combs, Riley Green, Chris Janson, and Morgan Wallen. The singer-songwriter is sure to have a bright future in country music!
