The rising country star calls it a day on love to get to the bar in fun-filled new tune
Walker Montgomery isn’t wasting any time on melodramatic goodbyes on his latest single, the rowdy “Almost, So Close, So Long, Goodbye,” available now on all streaming platforms.
Penned by Ryan Beaver, Bart Butler, Jessie Jo Dillon and Matt McGinn, the irreverent “kicker” dispenses with the niceties and drawn-out-drama of belabored goodbyes in favor of a trip straight to the honky-tonk.
“When you know it’s time to say goodbye in a relationship, you’ve gotta grab your buddies and go have a good time. This is a perfect two-steppin’, boot-scootin’ song that everyone needs on a night out,” says Montgomery.
The fun-filled tune even works in a classic George Strait song mention with its “Easy Come, Easy Go” reference, as Walker settles on civility and avoids the fight in favor of a cold beer at his favorite hangout. The stone cold country tune includes some sizzling picking and top level musicianship as well, and is sure to be a fast favorite of fans of traditional, old school country everywhere.
Montgomery is gearing up for a busy summer on the road, with more music to come from the country up-and-comer soon.
