Track is second single from debut album
Independent singer/songwriter Allie Colleen has released the second digital single, “Don’t Give Your Heart To A Cowboy,” off her well-received debut album Stones to all music platforms for streaming and download. The spirited tune was co-written by Eric Dodd and Allie Colleen.
“It’s all in the lyrics ladies… don’t do it. Cowboys, they have been the coolest thing since forever. Men that smell like leather, horses, and tobacco. Well ladies, I am here to tell you that is what heartache smells like. Flirt with them, dance with them, drink with them, hell – kiss’em if you want, but don’t give your heart to a cowboy,” states Colleen.
“Allie came over to the house for our writer session, and she said she wanted to write a cowboy song. She shared a cool story with me about someone told her that went something like, “Those cowboys are dangerous when it comes to your heart…they’ll leave their leaving boots on your front porch,” and that line or quote stuck with me and the last part made it in the chorus of the song,” shares Eric Dodd. “I was hooked when she told me that story. When we finished this one, Allie and I knew we had something special. We felt like we really painted the picture of that warning about what a cowboy can do to a girl’s heart. There is something so bittersweet and nostalgic in this one, and it’s one of my favorites I have ever been a part of.”
Stones was co-produced by Joe Costa, Joe Costa Productions and Ben Watts, Lore Entertainment, and recorded at Allentown Recording Studio in Nashville. Physical copies of the highly anticipated debut album are available for purchase online at alliecolleenmusic.com and will be available November 19th on all digital music platforms.
“Allie Colleen delivers the goods on her debut album. From moments of angsty blues to soulful ballads and classic country. Allie does it all with raw, heartfelt lyrics and an honest vocal delivery,” adds co-producer, Ben Watts. “It was a pleasure to play a part in the creation of this project. I’m sure she’s set for a bright journey ahead!”
Colleen returns to the road later this month with a slew of dates scheduled for the summer.
