Debut Single, “Cowboys and Angels,” Goes Top 15 at Country Radio & Top 10 on Billboard Heatseekers Songs Chart Single Sales Surpass a Quarter of a Million
“COWBOYS AND ANGELS” LYRIC VIDEO PASSES 1 MILLION VIEWS MILESTONE ON YOUTUBE
NASHVILLE, TN – Broken Bow Records is proud to announce that rising star Dustin Lynch’s highly anticipated, self-titled debut album will be released on Tuesday, August 21st in both the U.S. and Canada.
The news comes on the heels of an outstanding week of accomplishments for Dustin Lynch’s debut single, “Cowboys and Angels,” the sweeping, lyrical epic which Lynch wrote alongside GRAMMY-winning songwriter Tim Nichols and chart-topping songwriter/ producer Josh Leo.
This week, “Cowboys and Angels,” soared into the Top 15 on the Mediabase Country Radio chart as well as landed at #8 on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs Chart.
Additionaly, the official lyric video for the visually stunning, romantic ballad surpassed ONE MILLION views on YouTube - a milestone for the rising star that Billboard magazine has lauded as one of the "Most Anticipated Debuts of 2012."
Dustin Lynch also earned his first #1 last week when “Cowboys and Angels” became the #1 CMT Ringtone.
“Cowboys and Angels” continues to grow on the sales chart as well, having sold more than 10k downloads for the past 12 consecutive weeks, with over 25k singles sold the last four. In fact, the single surpassed a quarter of a million cumulative sales this week.
Produced by Brett Beavers (Dierks Bentley) and Luke Wooten (Brad Paisley), the self-titled debut album will include 13 tracks – 10 of which were written or co-written by Lynch himself.
Lynch’s distinctively deep, emotional vocals are showcased throughout the album – an album that embodies his unique perspectives growing up and people watching in the small town of Tullahoma, TN. As both an artist and songwriter, Lynch was greatly influenced in his youth by the famed “Class of ‘89” comprised of such stalwart country singers as Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks and Clint Black.
From the clever, farm-life double entendre of “She Cranks My Tractor,” to the regretful longing of a rambler who has seen the error of his ways in “Waiting,” these influences are evident in Lynch’s vocal, lyric and melodic delivery.
Lynch’s lyrical observations are thoughtful, keen and often deeply personal. The rising star nostalgically waxes poetic on “Hurricane,” a sweeping power ballad about a whirlwind romance in which he sings “It’s a hell of a ride / if you can just survive the pain/ that’s the thing about a hurricane.”
In “Last Lap,” Lynch describes the Friday night pastime that was a way of life growing up in his hometown – cruising the strip, burning tires, cranking up the tunes, hollering at girls and switching cars at the red lights. In “Sittin’ Pretty,” Lynch sings the story of a Country boy who has landed the prettiest girl in his small town and is taking her for a spin in his old pick-up for the very first time.
From stories about small town life and escaping from the rat race, to cracker jack up-tempo party anthems, to songs about young love, first times and unrequited heartbreak, Dustin Lynch’s self-titled debut album tells a universal story from start to finish.
