JAMEY D

                                                                "Country"

                                                                CCB Nashville

As CCB Nashville continues unveiling new music from their talented roster every Friday of the month with their very ambitious #newmusicfriday initiative, Jamey D steps into his normal placement on the third week of the month and continues to emerge as one of the roster’s breakout artists in 2022 with his newest release, “Country.”

Following the very nostalgic “Night Like This,” Jamey shows us another side of his arsenal as he leans into a softer pace that drifts away from his normally rock tilted, gravelly edge and into more of a traditional country type of storytelling that allows his lyric writing abilities to really shine through his vocal.

Using the first verse, he introduces us to the city girl who is burned out on the concrete jungle and bright lights that are surrounding her, but we’re also told of her disdain she has with the stuck-up city boys and her yearning for something different; country!

In the second verse, Jamey D perfectly describes the country lifestyle she enjoys with lines about dipping her toes in the water and watching the fireflies dancing at night, while also hitting on the feelings she’s experiencing when he sings, “country makes her feel at home.” 

However, Jamey D’s lyrical genius shines in the fact that this song really isn’t about the country versus city lifestyle at all, so much as it’s about the guy she’s seeing that just so happens to be the definition of “country” as he describes who he is and how he respectfully treats her through the chorus:

“Country ain’t the kind of man

That she’s known before

When he picks her up on Friday night

He’s opening every door

It may not be caviar

Or champagne in a glass

But anything she wants

All she’s got to do is ask?”

Jamey D has shown us layers into who he is as an artist/songwriter over the first 7 releases he’s offered this year.  However, at the center of each unique style and different approach sits his signature, solid lyrics that weave us through emotions and subject matters that we can all relate back to our own life, just as he does again with “Country.” We all have that someone in our lives, albeit it may just be a good friend and not a better half, who allows us to escape to the places where we physically and emotionally are most comfortable.
