Song is first single from forthcoming album
Multi-platinum Quartz Hill Records artist Joe Nichols debuts the official music video for his latest single, “Home Run.” The video world premiered on CMT Monday morning (Nov 15th) and will continue airing throughout the day on CMT Music. Fans can also check out the moving video at CMT.com.
Filmed in and around Nashville including the Music City Baseball Field, and directed by David “Doc” Abbott, the “Home Run” music video chronicles a day in Nichols’ life on the road and the sweet reunion with his family – wife Heather and daughters nine year old Dylan and seven year old Georgia – as he returns home on his bus.
“This video really captures the lyrics of the song, those moments of me working and out on the road and getting to come home,” says Nichols. “I love that my family is in it. I loved having my wife and my kids, my mom, and my sister in it. That’s what I really miss when I’m out on the road. It’s the first time my wife, Heather has been in one of my videos so that was a lot of fun.”
“Home Run” was penned by award-winning songwriters Ashley Gorley, Dallas Davidson and Ross Copperman. The song marks Nichols’ first new music since his 2018 EP, Never Gets Old: Traditional Country Series, and the first music since reuniting with veteran label head Benny Brown with whom Nichols enjoyed two multi-week No. 1 singles, the RIAA Gold-certified hits “Yeah” and “Sunny and 75” from the critically-acclaimed album, Crickets.
The video premiere follows the announcement of Nichols’ long-awaited new album, Good Day For Living, releasing on February 11, 2022. The 13-song collection, his inaugural project with new label home and tenth studio album, ushers in a new era of classic-influenced country music from one of the format’s most-lauded 21st-century traditionalists.
In addition to “Home Run,” the album features “Screened In,” available now. “I Wanna Be Your Tonight” will drop December 10th with the title track available January 28th. The entire project is a no-doubt nod to Nichols’ traditional roots, showcasing his smooth baritone on Saturday night dancehall stunner “Brokenhearted,” the light and fun “I Got Friends That Do,” featuring Blake Shelton, and the classic country tear-jerker “She Was.”
