Thompson serves up "Cold Beer"
The song, produced by Mark Wright and Cliff Audretch, III, is the follow up to Thompson's top 20 hit, Comin' Around released in 2011. His previous hits include Beer On The Table, Way out Here and Won't Be Lonely Long.
"I can't tell you how excited I am to share new music with country radio and the fans. It feels really good to be back out there with my new label Show Dog Universal and their awesome team," said Thompson. "To me, Cold Beer With Your Name On It is both a love song and a heartbreak song. It's a good-ole-boy's way of dealing with both subjects; whether you miss someone or want to get more of someone, there's a cold beer with their name on it."

Thompson is also known as a champion of the everyman. Turns out they both have the same tendency to go over the top. Thompson excessively showcases the blue collar lifestyle the way Keith champions patriotism.
In fact, eight of the 10 tracks involve drinking, some with unsubtle titles like "Drink, ...
