Month: January 2023

Jake Owen‘s ushering in 2023 with a brand new track called “My Boots Miss Yours.”

“My boots miss yours/ What ya say we get ’em back together/ Make a little trail of clothes and leather/ Let ’em hang out on the bedroom floor/ My boots miss yours,” the Florida native sings in the uptempo two-step.

“It’s a new year, so it’s only appropriate that we put out some new music to go with it,” Jake says. “I’ve loved this song from the moment I heard it; excited to finally share it with you today.”

He’s also partnering with Texas boot maker Lucchese to give away a pair of engraved cowboy boots; four tickets to a headlining show, including a meet and greet; and an autographed guitar. You can find all the details on Jake’s socials.

He also hints that “My Boots Miss Yours” is just the beginning of more new music set to come out later this year.

Cole Swindell‘s new single, “Drinkaby” – which rhymes with lullaby – is out now, and his new deluxe album will be out soon.

Stereotype Broken comes out April 28 and adds a track called “Broken,” a remix of his smash “She Had Me at Heads Carolina,” as well as “Sad A** Country Songs” and the new single.

“Drinkaby” was written by fellow artists Jon Pardi and HARDY, along with Jordan Schmidt and Hunter Phelps.

“‘Drinkaby,’ from the first time I heard it, I pictured it being a huge show opener,” Cole says. “The guitar lick in the intro just grabs you and doesn't let you go.”

“I'm not sure if there is such thing as a fun breakup song but that's kind of what this is,” he observes. “Glad it's finally out and can't wait to get out there and play it live.”

Of course, Stereotype Broken also features all the songs on the original album, which came out last April, including the number ones “Never Say Never” with Lainey Wilson and “Single Saturday Night.”

Tyler Hubbard‘s put out five albums as part of Florida Georgia Line, but now he steps into the spotlight by himself as his self-titled debut solo album arrives.

Among the mammoth record’s 18 tracks are his first solo #1, “5 Foot 9,” and his latest hit, “Dancin’ in the Country.” He wrote it with recent tour mate Keith Urban and a couple of A-list songwriters.

“Keith and Ross [Copperman] really kinda dove into the music side of things,” Tyler recalls. “And Keith was doing what he does with his guitar, and he picked up the bass. And he just kinda brought this song to life and inspired me and Jon [Nite], who were really kinda working on lyric.”

“It was a very collaborative effort,” he adds, “but they were definitely honing in on the music and just had a lot of fun.”

Ultimately, “Dancin'” was inspired by the fun Tyler often has with his three children.

“I just told the guys, I said, ‘I wanna write something that feels fun and makes you wanna dance, you know?'” he remembers. “And this was at a time where – we’re still doing this – where we have dance parties with my kids every night. So I wanted some more material for that, something that just made you feel good.”

There are no doubt more parties on the horizon for Tyler, who’ll turn 36 on Tuesday, January 31, the same day he’s scheduled to sing on ABC’s Good Morning America.
