Nashville, TN (August 21, 2023) - - Alex Miller is making a stand â and like everything else the young Kentuckian does â itâs Country. Millerâs new, five-track EP,
COUNTRY, drops October 6, marking his second outing with award-winning producer Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records. The project offers a wide mix of Country styles â and Alex says, âThereâs something here for everyone, from Western Swing to cutting edge stuff. Itâs every kind of Country I love.â
The latest streaming track from the EP,
âEvery Time I Reach For You,â written by Miller and Salley, opens with a searing steel guitar that recalls the whistle of a midnight train, while a wistful fiddle fans the flames of despair. Millerâs vocal offers a gut-punch of emotion, and the result is his most impressive performance to date. The track premiered last week on WKRC-TVâs Good Morning Cincinnati show.
âGirl, I Know A Guyâ is Alexâs current charting single, and the upbeat love song strikes a hopeful note with traditional instrumentation and a timely theme. Written by NSAI Hall of Famer Walt Aldridge, Tim Rushlow (lead vocalist, Little Texas) and Danny Orton (Tim McGraw, Dan + Shay, Reba), the straightforward lyric spotlights a guy offering the girl who has everything a chance for something more ⦠love. Millerâs rowdy and successful single,
âWhen God Made The South,â is an anthemic, guitar-driven ode to the glories of Southern living. Gritty as a gravel road and as raw as moonshine, the straight-ahead Country lyric is driven by a Southern Rock beat â and Miller clearly enjoys the ride. From the fiddle down to the wah-wah guitar âPuttinâ Up Hayâ is pure Alex. No surprise as he co-wrote this with Larry Cordle (Garth Brooks, Ricky Skaggs, Trisha Yearwood) and Salley (Reba, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley). âItâs all about an ole boy putting up hay and getting him a little honey, too,â says Miller.
âGettinâ Lucky In Kentuckyâ is a mix of Western Swing and Kentucky guitar picking. Written by Miller and Salley, the upbeat song tells the story of a man who goes to a horse race, wins his bet - and the girl as well.
Producer Jerry Salley notes, âAlex was born with real Country music in his bones and now heâs exploring new sounds - while staying true to himself. I think his fans will love it.â
