The song is featured in the official trailer for the CBS series Sheriff Country
Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Maren Morris unveils her new single “Beat The Devil” via Columbia Records. The track debuts as the featured song in the official trailer for CBS’s highly anticipated new series Sheriff Country, premiering October 17th.
Dark and cinematic, “Beat The Devil” brims with Southern gothic intensity. Against brooding instrumentation, Maren inhabits the role of a vengeful force — “the one you heard about from the preacher’s mouth” — daring anyone to challenge her power. With chilling lines like “ain’t no holy in the water, ain’t no washing these sins” and a chorus that warns “you can’t beat the devil at her own game,” the track mirrors the themes of reckoning and resilience that run through Sheriff Country.
The series is an intense, drama-filled universe expansion of CBS’s hit show Fire Country, centered around Edgewater’s straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, played by Morena Baccarin (Deadpool, Gotham, Firefly). It follows Mickey as she uses her deeply personal (and deeply tangled) connection to the community to investigate big crime in her small town.
“Beat The Devil” arrives on the heels of Morris’s D R E A M S I C L E (Deluxe) album release in August, further showcasing her ability to craft music that is both unflinching and evocative. Morris is currently on her global Dreamsicle Tour, which stops in Nashville tomorrow (Thurs, Sept 25th) at The Pinnacle. The tour continues its 40-date run across North America and will soon head to the UK and Europe through November.
