Bentley, Wilson think "Cold Beer Can"
Written at a small writer's camp in Nashville last year, Bentley and Wilson got the assist from Luke Dick and Jon Randall. Wilson and Bentley also have a video out.
"I was a really big fan of Stephen's and asked him to jump in on some writes with me, and we ended up writing two songs that both made the new record. What I love about this song is that the title and idea seem like such familiar territory for country music, but when you actually dig into the lyrics of the song, it's much more meaningful," said Bentley. "I asked him to come in and lay down some acoustic guitar parts once we got in the studio, and he crushed it."
"There are some things that money just can't buy. People crave an experience. Sometimes bartering is required. A fermented meeting ground perhaps," said Wilson. "A cold beer can be a simple and affordable catalyst in the chemical and emotional reactions of this human life. Humans are looking for something to carry us on or bring us together."
Bentley released the single "She Hates Me," which was his biggest first week debut at country radio.
Starting tonight, Bentley will begin a run of headlining C2C dates in Europe, making stops at Glasgow, Scotland's OVO Hydro, London's O2 and Belfast, Northern Ireland's SSE Arena this weekend before launching his own Broken Branches Tour on May 29 in Austin. Bentley will bring along Zach Top and The Band Loula in over 30 cities across the U.S.
