Tenpenny unveils his "Bucket List"
Mitchell, who wrote the song with Chris DeStefano and Laura Veltz, offered his thoughts in the song to "love a little more, dream a little deeper."
"'Bucket List' is about trying to live everyday like it's your last. You never know how long you have on this earth, so you need to try and live it to the fullest," said Tenpenny. "I think it's perfect timing for this song because 2020 was completely unexpected, and a lot of people lost so much. And though this song does not speak to the pandemic per se, it does speak to making sure you truly live every day. My hope is that it inspires people to make goals and try to cross them off as fast as possible."
Tenpenny filmed the song's soon-to-be-released music video in Arizona. He visited included Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Lake Powell/Antelope Canyon.
"Bucket List" is one of four songs he's recorded and released since January 2020, including "Can't Go To Church," "Here" and his cover of "Someone You Loved" in addition to the Neon Christmas EP released for the holidays.

CD reviews for Mitchell Tenpenny
Mitchell Tenpenny calls his album "This is The Heavy" because "it's big. It's loud. It's in your face and drum heavy," he said. In contrast that is not at all how one would describe most country music. Thus, Tenpenny's lengthy album (a whole 20 tracks!) is country-associated, at best.
The song titles, at least, read like country songs, including "More Than Whiskey Does," "Good And Gone" and "Good Place." The latter finds ...
One big clue that Mitchell Tenpenny's "Naughty List" holiday collection is a winner, is how spontaneous and rocking is his version of "Jingle Bell Rock." He doesn't just repeat the Bobby Helms original, but instead makes it all his own. Then again, with a distinctive voice like his, he puts his personal stamp on everything.
He rocks out even more during "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town," even though that one also includes upfront banjo picking. ...
If all you know about Mitchell Tenpenny is "Alcohol You Later," you may be unprepared for a few of the Christmas present surprises on his "Neon Christmas" EP. Granted, "Snow Angels" is a little too pop for its own good. However, the acoustic guitar-picked subtlety of "O Holy Night" is truly sweet, while the steel guitar-soaked "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!" is the exact right winter setting for Tenpenny's vocal vibrato. ...
