Tenpenny makes "Bigger Mistakes"
"Bigger Mistakes" was written by Tenpenny, Chris DeStefano, Josh Kear and Michael Whitworth. The song was not on any of Tepenny's albums or EPs.
"I've always loved Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain' because of the line 'you're so vain you probably think this song is about you.' That line just cuts to the core," he said. "Some people like to think the world revolves around them, and I wanted to write a song that was a reminder that isn't the case. 'Bigger Mistakes' is about realizing that there are bigger and more important things in life than a breakup. The song is a reminder that you've gone through harder times and the future can be bright."
Tenpenny opens tonight on Jason Aldean's "Highway Desperado Tour" in Bethel, N.Y. He will be direct support for the tour performing in 41-cities across the U.S. in Atlanta, Charlotte, Phoenix and more before wrapping in Tampa, Fla.
Tenpenny's most recent album release was "This is the Heavy" last September.

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. ...
