Old Dominion‘s new album, Time, Tequila, & Therapy, arrives next Friday October 8th…
…and the guys are sharing another track that’s featured on the project.
Trevor Rosen of Old Dominion shares the story behind the song, “Hawaii,” “That’s a little song that we wrote in Asheville, NC. We were just hanging out one day and thought, you know, we were just thinking about when we were in Hawaii not too long ago and we thought, ‘Man, wouldn’t it be cool to just write a song about Hawaii’… makes it sound Hawaiian and and then it just started coming out and then next thing we knew we had a really cool song so we hope you like it as much as we do.“
Old Dominion also gave their fans a preview of the new album with the song “All I Know About Girls”
Old Dominion’s current single at radio, “I Was On A Boat That Day,” is also from their upcoming album, Time, Tequila, & Therapy – which arrives October 8th. Time Tequila & Therapy
As “Just About Over You” steps inside the Top-20 on the Billboard Airplay chart, Priscilla Block is giving fans a new take on the track with an acoustic piano version of the hit song.
Priscilla says “Y’all this version makes me cry in all the best ways. The the piano…the fiddle… the whole thing. I hope y’all love it as much as I do.”
While Priscilla’s unmistakable vocals are on the song, chances are that she’s not tickling the ivories there on the piano.
When she was younger, Priscilla was signed up for lessons, but by her own account…things did not go well, “My mom always wanted me to play piano and so I was in piano lessons, and I would never practice and I would go to piano class, and be signing off that I’d practiced. I mean I was not improving that much. (laugh) I knew the chords, and that was great. And then, sure enough, not long after my parents were like well, we’re not going to keep paying for you to play if you’re not going to practice. And I was like alright, cool.”
After the piano lessons didn’t go well, her mom still wanted Priscilla to play some sort of instrument…so with mom’s urging and a trip to her attic, Priscilla found the thing that would change her life forever.
She shares the story, “My mom continued to keep encouraging me and she goes, you should pick up the guitar, and you can take it anywhere with you. So, I found a guitar in our attic. And I taught myself how to play. I knew I couldn’t ask them for lessons because they’re not going to pay for it. So, it was me on YouTube and learning all the Taylor Swift songs on guitar.”
On this acoustic version, Priscilla does get to put her guitar playing skills to use…
Earlier this year, Priscilla got to honor her musical hero Taylor Swift with an acoustic performance of her hits when the National Music Publishers’ Association honored Taylor with the Songwriter Icon Award. Priscilla also shared the story of how Taylor turned her career around with a chance meeting on a Nashville street.
“Just About Over You” is one of the songs featured on Priscilla Block’s self-titled 6-Song EP.
After all the acoustic versions, check out the music video for the studio version of the track.

Chris Janson‘s new single “Bye Mom” is one of his most personal songs to date.
Chris says, “‘Bye Mom’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written…I wrote it with Brandon Kinney, a close friend of mine who just recently lost his mother this past year and you know we initially started this song as a tribute ‘Bye Mom’ but it turns out that it’s a lot of people story and it’s not just about death, it’s about life too and it’s about realizing that you’re somebody that somebody loves more than themselves and that’s really what motherhood is all about.”
When it came to making the music video for his new song, Chris continued to make sure that it also had a very personal touch, “These actors are co-writer Brandon Kinney and his family. The inspiration and story behind ‘Bye Mom’ is very real.”
Chris adds, “It was especially important to me to have Brandon and his family star in the video because it’s his real story. Nobody could’ve provided the real emotion better. His whole family really ties it all together. I’m humbled by them, thankful and so proud.”
