“I thought you should know // That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me // Must’ve finally made their way on through // I thought you should know // I got me a new girl down there in Jefferson City, and // She lets me fish whenever I want to // Yeah, I’m still proud of where I came from // Still your only damn son // Can you believe I’m on the radio? // Just thought you should know, thought you should know, thought you should know”

There is truly no stopping Wallen! His career continues to catapult him to superstardom. It is just a matter of time before he wins entertainer of the year at one of the coveted country music award shows.

Jordan Davis Secures 5th Number One Single with “What My World Spins Around”

/in , , /by

 Jordan Davis earns his fifth number-one song at country radio this week with his single, “What My World Spins Around.” Learn all the details here.

In our humble opinion, Jordan Davis’ talent is still extremely underrated. While the singer-songwriter has been garnering more and more fans over the last few years, his career has been a continuous trajectory, rather than an explosion to superstardom. We believe that the Country Swag 2018 Artist to Watch is going to make it to superstar status. This week, Davis secured his fifth number-one single at country radio with his anthemic song, “What My World Spins Around,” following the recent success of “Buy Dirt.”

Davis’ single is a combination of a love song and nostalgia. Throughout the verses, the singer shares all the things he loves about his life and his world. In the chorus, we learn that the love of his life is truly everything to him. Davis does all of that while making the song catchy too! The song won over fans and radio almost instantly with this killer tune.

“The way that it feels when you lean in and kiss me // The way that you dance when you get kinda tipsy // I’m wrapped ’round your finger like this ring I’m wearing // That look in your eyes, girl, when you catch me staring and // I don’t even know what it is but now that I found it // I can’t imagine me living without this // Back forty view on our piece of ground // Watching you watch the sun going down // That’s what my world spins around”

Congrats to Jordan Davis and his team on his fifth number one at country radio!

Jelly Roll is a bonafide superstar, it is just a matter of time before everyone takes note of it.

“Now the past is out of sight and out of mind // Swore I changed, now I’m back chasing these white lines // I’m just a long-haired son of a sinner // Searching for new ways I can get gone // I’m a pedal to the highway // If you ever wonder why we write these songs”

Jimmie Allen scores his 4th number one song at country radio this week with his single, “down home.” Learn all the details here.

Jimmie Allen is certainly on his way to becoming a household name. The talented country music singer-songwriter is known for creating music that speaks to his fan base, his positive personality, and of course his incredible, undeniable talent. Earlier this year, Allen shared a special song called “down home.” Today the track is the number one song at country radio.

Written by Allen with Cameron Bedell, Rian Ball, and Tate Howell, the song pays homage to the singer’s relationship with his father, who passed away in 2019. The soulful song is a relatable song about grief, love, and survival.

When Allen found out about the song’s radio success, he took to social media sharing a touching sentiment. “Shout out to my friends at Country Radio for supporting “Down Home”. It’s a song I wrote about my father. So glad to see people have connected with you. To everyone mourning the loss of someone you love, so sorry for your loss. Hold on to the good memories you made with them.”

He later shared, “Dear Dad, I knew you existed and now the world knows. Thank you country radio for helping me share my father’s memory.” In the same post, the singer also thanked his co-writers.

“I promise I’m working // With this guitar ’bout as hard as I can // I met a girl, bought a house // Put a nice little payment, down home // Is still there where my heart is // This down home kid is just how you left him // I still hate that you’re gone, I wish you were here // But I hope I’m making you proud // ‘Cause I know you’re up there looking down home”

A huge congrats to Jimmie and his team! This number one is definitely a special one.

Why Do So Many Country Artists Support St. Jude?

/in , /by

As a country music fan, year after year, it’s almost certain that you’ve found your favorite country music artists supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Whether through benefit concerts, posts on social media, or rocking the ‘This Shirt Saves Lives’ tee, it’s pretty clear that St. Jude holds a very special place in the country music community. 

While the answer may seem obvious by brief definition alone, — St. Jude leads the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. To learn even more, Country Swag took a visit to St. Jude during the annual ‘Country Cares Seminar’ this fall.

Launched more than 30 years ago, Randy Owen from the band Alabama stood up during Nashville’s Annual Country Radio Seminar and asked his friends, colleagues, and radio partners to join together to help St. Jude and the children they serve, and so, the ‘Country Cares Seminar’ was born. The program unites more than 200 radio stations, influencers, and dozens of country music artists annually to raise awareness and support for St. Jude.

During the seminar, all guests are invited to tour St. Jude, located in Memphis, Tennessee, and see firsthand the inspirational work that the teams at St. Jude are doing. Upon the first introduction, guests learn about the organization and what exactly makes it so impactful and so special. Perhaps the most remarkable part is that thanks to very generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Families receive the best care in the world, at no cost, making the worst and darkest days of their lives a little bit brighter – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

In addition, St Jude’s research facility and labs are open 24/7 and freely share their findings, protocols, and breakthroughs, so that every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands of more children.

Thanks to generous donations, the brilliant teams at St. Jude have access to equipment that costs millions and millions of dollars, which just not all doctors and scientists everywhere have access to. This not only gives them the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of their financial situation, but they are able to share their discoveries and patients everywhere are getting treatments that were started at St. Jude. Consequently, when you’re donating to St. Jude, you’re not just donating to one hospital in one city, you’re funding the source and if speaking to cancer patients around the world, a common thread may be that many have been treated by protocols that have been sourced by St. Jude. St. Jude is actively working towards a world where no family ever has to hear the words “you have cancer”.

Seeing the work, hearing stories from doctors and patients alike, and understanding the experiences at St. Jude make it easy to recognize the importance of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and instantly inspires guests to get involved and help raise awareness. Next time you see your favorite artists talking about and supporting St. Jude it’s likely because they were able to have these experiences too and see firsthand the amazing work done at St. Jude.

Words like “inspiring”, “joy”, “positivity” and “healing” are just some of the many terms that came to mind for country artists like Breland, Kameron Marlowe, and Randy Owen, during their recent visit to St. Jude, as seen in the video above.

There are great research institutions, great hospitals, and great charities. St. Jude is all three. You can join the cause and help support St. Jude and the incredible initiative set forth by many country artists and celebrities alike with the ‘This Shirt Saves Lives’ t-shirt. For a monthly donation of just $19, you get the exclusive tee and all funds directly support the incredible St. Jude organization.

It costs over a million dollars daily to operate St. Jude each and every day. Donations allow St. Jude to continue to help children everywhere.

Join us and many of your favorite country artists like Carly Pearce, Sam Hunt, Dierks Bentley, and Kelsea Ballerini, and help save lives.

To donate and get your own “This Shirt Saves Lives” t-shirt head to: musicgives.org.
