The song follows the release of his covers project
As he gears up to kick off his headlining Never Giving Up On That Tour next week, Dalton Dover delivers his new single via UMG Nashville/Mercury Records with the rollicking “Bury Me In This Bar.”
“This is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever been a part of writing,” Dover shares. “We really wanted to capture the fun and energy of those ‘90s country bar anthems that you just can’t skip or resist singing along with when you hear it. I believe it’s one that would make my heroes proud, and we can’t wait to hear people sing it with us on the road.”
Written by Dalton Dover, Dan Isbell, Jamie Davis, and Benjy Davis, and produced by longtime collaborator Matt McVaney (McV), “Bury Me In This Bar” is laced with steel guitar and punctuated with hard rock hits amid the Georgia native’s dynamic vocals:
“Yeah, there’s one thing you can count on / Ain’t no one getting out of / This wake-up, working, wild world alive / Some folks prefer a casket / Some get turned to ashes / But I got other plans for when I die / Oh, bury me in this bar / Where the women and the whiskey ain’t too far / Yeah, my soul is meant to belong / Underneath that neon / Smiling to the sound of a steel guitar / I’ll rest in peace where all my people are / Bury me in this bar”
The release follows Take Me Home: Covers which showcases Dover’s roots and influences growing up in Georgia.
After wrapping up a string of shows supporting Larry Fleet, along with joining Breland & Friends at Ryman Auditorium earlier this week, Dover will embark on his headlining Never Giving Up On That Tour next Friday, April 5th in Houston, Texas.
Following his Nissan Stadium Platform Stage debut last summer, Dover is set to perform at the Dr. Pepper Amp Stage at CMA Fest on June 9th.
