Posted on by

Jake Owen Will Be Releasing A New EP! Jake Owen will be releasing Endless Summer, his upcoming 4-track EP on September 25. “It’s been almost a year since our album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, came out. And, I started thinking that I really wanted to put out a few new tunes that had a summer vibe. So, we decided to cut four songs and put out an EP entitled Endless Summer. No one ever really wants the summer to end, right? Hopefully, these songs will be ones that keep the party going into the fall and people will crank them up loud when they are out on the water enjoying their own Endless Summer.” -Owen Jake unofficially announced that he was recording a four-song EP at his Fan Club party during CMA Music Fest. At the party, he let his fans hear a sneak peek of the EP by playing them one song that he had already recorded entitled “Summer Jam,” which was written by the duo Florida Georgia Line along with award-winning songwriter Craig Wiseman. Also, Jake earns his first executive producer credit on this EP. Joey Moi, who produced Jake’s No. 1 hit singles “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” and “Alone With You,” as well as his current single “The One That Got Away,” is the producer on all four tracks. Below is the artwork for the EP and a video that features Jake talking about the new project! Enjoy!

Craig Morgan Releases More Trucks Than Cars

Posted on by

Craig Morgan Is Set To Release A Brand New Single, “More Truck Than Cars.” Craig Morgan will release his latest single, “More Trucks Than Cars,” from his recent album This Ole Boy in upcoming days. Written by Morgan with Phil O’Donnell and Craig Wiseman, the song is an anthem for the southern lifestyle, depicted in stars that light the night sky, biscuits, grits and gravy, ‘Ole Glory’ flying high and a landscape where you’ll sooner spot a truck before you see a car. And Morgan can wholeheartedly relate to his lyric “meanwhile back in Tennessee we’re raising our babies and our own green beans.” Craig Morgan’s “More Trucks Than Cars” is available today via PlayMPE for airplay on country radio with an August 27 impact date. The song is equally relatable to metropolitan areas of the U.S. where there is no shortage of hard-working Americans and a touch of the southern lifestyle is a hot commodity. While in New York earlier this year, Morgan was surprised at the number of trucks he spotted amongst the sea of yellow cabs in Manhattan.
