The song is from his Big Machine Records debut album
Diamond-selling superstar Brian Kelley chooses wide-open spaces over downtown reservations in “Dirt Road Date Night,” a romantic anthem for stepping off the beaten path for some alone time out on the county line.
Featured on his much-anticipated full-length debut album with Big Machine Records, Tennessee Truth, out May 10th, Kelley co-wrote the easy-feeling track with John Byron and Jimmy Robbins. Inspired by moonlit memories with his wife Brittney, it captures his songwriting trend toward a stress-free life – trading in hustle and bustle for true love and simple pleasures. Built on the gentle bounce of a slow roll down a gravel road, its lyrics find two hearts merged and committed to a long haul together.
Hit-making producer Dann Huff helps Kelley create a throwback collision of upbeat country and down-home pop, perfect for a steamy night out where the cattails sway. With Kelley’s deep-South vocal dialed up to its most smitten, funky bass line, and breezy guitars, the windows-down “Dirt Road Date Night” begs for a long, long drive.
Fans can count down to the album’s spring delivery with early previews including “See You Next Summer,” “Dirt Cheap,” “How We’re Livin’,” “Trucks, Ducks, Bucks & Beer,” and the most personal lyrical statement of his songwriting career – “Kiss My Boots.”
