Hammack’s autobiographical track is available now
Capitol Records Nashville singer/songwriter Caylee Hammack is releasing a new version of her deeply personal song “Small Town Hypocrite” with a guest vocal by Chris Stapleton. Since Hammack released the autobiographical song, critics, fans and peers alike have had an overwhelming affinity for the track and the picture it paints of the songwriter’s journey of heartbreak and reflection. Hammack also hand illustrated the single art for the special release of the track, depicting the trailer featured in the vulnerable lyrics.
“My one whim for this song was to hear Chris Stapleton accompany me on it,” shares Hammack. “Two years after I spoke this wish out loud in the studio, Chris agreed to sing the part I had written in hopes of hearing his voice on it. Life is a beautiful full circle sometimes. I am so grateful to Chris for singing on this song.”
The song was co-written and co-produced by Hammack, and follows collabs with Alan Jackson and Everclear frontman Art Alexakis.
Last summer, Hammack released her debut record If It Wasn’t For You. The 13-track set sees Hammack with writer and producer credits on every track on the album with all-star duets featuring Reba, Ashley McBride and Tenille Townes.
Recently winning a nod for ACM “Music Event Of The Year,” with Miranda Lambert, Hammack has been noted as an “Artist To Watch” by outlets. With her breakout Top 30 single “Family Tree” marking the most-added single at country radio by a female artist in over three years, Hammack, the Capitol Nashville recording artist has previously brought her unforgettable live set to opening slots for Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Trisha Yearwood, Brothers Osborne and some of country music’s biggest festivals.
