Williams will "Take One For The Team"

Friday, March 28, 2025 – Chancey Williams returns with the comical "Take One For The Team."

The song finds Williams and his drinking buddy lock eyes with a pair of girls at the bar. Williams, showcasing his witty personality, selfishly teases his pal to get with the seemingly 'ugly-duckling' of the two. The song was written by Wynn Varble, Don Poythress, Tony Wood, Todd Tilghman, and produced by Bryce Long - is bound to make listeners everywhere crack a smile.

"In addition to being a great songwriter, Wynn Varble is one of the funniest guys I know. He has a great way of turning a phrase, and it really shows up in this song," Williams said. "I saw Wynn sing it at a writers round one night and knew right away that I wanted to record it. But listen - you have to hear the whole song before you judge. Haha. This is a 'what goes around comes around' kind of a deal."

Earlier this year, Williams, who is a cowboy in Wyoming, released the songs "Miles on Me" and "The Ballad of Uncle Don." "Take One For The Team" follows the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame inductee's February release, "Miles On Me," "a song that blends restless wanderlust with deep emotional weight,"(Fandom Daily). Channeling a rough and tumblin' cowboy who's been through it, "Miles On Me" depicts a worn out and weathered persona that's been through the trials of life. In the official music video for "Miles On Me," released 2/21, Williams finds solace and perseverance via the love of his companion over a catchy, smooth melody and drum-driven beat. Williams' January release, "The Ballad of Uncle Don," notably "a compelling meld of authentic storytelling that infuses his family's experiences, alongside a heady mix of country tinged with rock influences, and Williams' undeniably country voice" (Billboard). His memorable lyrics and rustic, twangy sound paint the picture of an accomplished "Oklahoma redneck" who was "hell on boots with a cowboy's heart." The video for the tune landed on CMT, where it went #1 as part of CMT's 12 Pack series for five consecutive weeks.
