Morgan Wallen releases Amazon Music Original

Fans can stream his Amazon Music Original cover of “Graveyard Whistling” exclusively on the streaming service

Amazon Music announced and released the digital track by 19-time Billboard Music Award winner Morgan Wallen, “Graveyard Whistling [Amazon Music Original],” a reimagined version of the 2014 song by English rock band, Nothing But Thieves. With the cover, he broke the record for the most first-day streams of any Amazon Music Original.

Wallen showcases his vocal versatility and emotional depth, while capturing the track through a country lens. The song trades the original’s alt-rock sound for a more introspective, acoustic-driven atmosphere. While staying true to the heartfelt lyrics, Wallen infuses them with the raw sincerity and soul of modern country storytelling.

Amazon Music will also release the track as an exclusive, limited edition 7-inch later this year. Available on September 19th, the release features new, original artwork and features “Dark Til Daylight” as the B-side to the track. Fans in the U.S. can pre-order the exclusive 7-inch in shadow white colored vinyl now only in the Amazon Music app.

Wallen’s Amazon Music Original arrives on the heels of the release of his most recent album, I’m The Problem, with overwhelming fan response leading to a fifth week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 200. With the release, Wallen broke the record for most streamed country record in its first day on Amazon Music.
