If you find yourself lost in a tune or getting emotional about a memory, you might want to check out Walker Hayes' latest single, "Drinking Songs." This release comes just a few weeks before his upcoming album, "Country Stuff The Album", which is set to release on January 21, 2022. This song is the fourth one shared from the album.
Hayes collaborated with Jordan Gray to write this song, and Joe Thibodeau and the well-known Shane McAnally produced it. "Drinking Songs" walks the fine line between despair and hope. It's a catchy, upbeat tribute to the power of music, especially when shared with friends or even when you're alone, reflecting on your memories. Hayes doesn't drink anymore, but still connects with how a song can support you, like a drink might for some people. His honesty shines through in every line of "Drinking Songs." Instead of focusing on alcohol, he emphasizes the importance of music itself, especially the kind that fills a bar with strangers singing along, creating a sense of togetherness.
With its catchy chorus and uplifting vibe, the song feels both refreshing and familiar, much like savoring a cold drink on a sweltering summer day. It captures that blend of happiness and memories, making it relatable whether it's a lively Friday night or a quiet Tuesday morning. Hayes reminds us once again that his strength lies not just in crafting catchy hooks but in tapping into real, heartfelt experiences that resonate with all of us.
