“Friends Like That” featuring Jason Aldean is surging towards the top 10
Prolific hit songwriter John Morgan’s highly anticipated debut album, Carolina Blue, will be released on Friday, April 25th, as his debut radio single “Friends Like That” featuring Jason Aldean soars toward the Top 10
“With Carolina Blue, I hope there’s relatability in the songs we chose and that the lyrics within them strike a chord,” Morgan shares of his excitement of the debut. “I’m a dad and married and in a different stage of life than I was when I first moved from North Carolina to Nashville. I don’t try to be anything I’m not. I’ve never been good at that and know folks can snuff that out pretty quick. I hope these songs give people a message that there’s value in whatever they are doing. Most of the people that hear this are working the blue-collar jobs I’d be doing if this wasn’t working, and I want them to hear their stories and feel their worth in this album.”
The boldly gritty North Carolina native will deliver a tantalizing robust 12-track debut. A brilliantly curated collection of songs, the authentically humble and tenaciously driven powerhouse artist who co-wrote every track on the project and co-produced it alongside Brent Anderson.
Exploring the complex layers of relationships a man can have with women throughout his life – whether he’s yearning for momma’s cooking and a Smoky Mountain porch or going on and on about the one who caught his eye – the record includes the previously released “I Know Better,” the blue-collar, 18-wheeler anthem “Long Ride Home,” and today’s jaunty new track “Crickets” that boasts a tempo-ready groove proving that sometimes Mother Nature is the only soundtrack needed.
Heading out with Chase Matthew and making his 2025 Stagecoach Festival debut, the artist just dropped the official music video for his rowdy party starter “Friends Like That.”
