I used to know every Brooks & Dunn song backwards and forwards, but nowadays I can't really tell a Brad Paisley from a Dierks Bentley. Todd (VO): So I'm not really up-to-date on country music as a whole. Video for Easton Corbin - "A Little More Country Than That" And I still check in on country music every now and then, but me and it lost touch right around the same time I discovered. Now that was back in the 90s when I was a kid. Todd (VO): Okay, I think I've mentioned this before, but I used to listen to a lot of country music. Video for Rascal Flatts - "Summer Nights" We're gonna be looking at some country music today. That's right, put on your cowboy boots and crack open an ice cold beer. Yeah, this week, the pop charts have dumped a little something different on our plates, and I couldn't be happier. Plan to shoot at the end of May! Going to be featuring my ’72 Scout in the video! Can’t wait to get that out there.Todd plays "If I Die Young" on his piano in a very upbeat manner. Will you be releasing a video with this song? I’m a mixed bag when it comes to music haha. But also the Beatles were huge for me in my early teens when I was learning to play guitar and pop rock like Blink-182 and Oasis where my “go to’s” in High School. George Strait, Alan Jackson my biggest influences. I grew up listening to a lot of country with my parents. Has a little bit of an edge to it which is definitely me. For sure it’s different from the pop country that’s all over the radio. I got a lot of positive feedback for this song and a few others. During quarantine, I played a lot of originals on my live streams from the house. It is expensive record but I knew this song needed to be released. I’ve written a lot over the years but never pulled the trigger on investing my own money to track professionally. What sets this song apart from your previous work? What sets this song apart from what is being played on the radio today? Like I said, it wrote itself and the process was super quick. Were there any challenges while writing it? I just wanted to get in the truck and drive! To just escape from the crappy reality of being stuck at home. Lyrically, what perspective is the song told from?įrom my own point of view. Stay tuned! Great song about a girl who’s heartbroken and not looking for any kind of romance. I am going to release a couple more singles this year. I do plan to release a full EP at some point. Is it going to be a part of a larger collection, such as EP or album? I finished the tune within about an hour. I pictured hopping in the truck, driving to the beach, and it just started to flow right out. I sat in bed and even without a voice I decided to try and write a tune. I had just finished a live stream show from my house and I had actually lost my voice and had to end the show early. What came first, the music, the words, the idea? We drove that truck around Tennessee a lot during the shutdown and one night the title/hook line came to mind put it all in the “rearview.” A positive song about getting away from our everyday cares and worries. My inspiration came from my 1972 International Scout II. It really was a miserable time being stuck inside and nothing to do. I wrote the song in April of 2020 right in the thick of the Covid quarantine/shutdown. Listen for yourself on all streaming formats and check out for more information about Jered Ames.Īaron Currie (Lead Guitar – Josh Turner, Craig Campbell), Robert Blair (Drums – Kellie Pickler, Aaron Tippin, Clay Walker, Jason Michael Carrol), Jimmy Carter (Bass – Huge session player, All the big names as of late: Randall King, Easton Corbin, Craig Morgan, Montgomery Gentry), Tim Galloway (Acoustic – Huge session guy as well as of late: Little Big Town, Chris Janson, Terri Clark), Eddy Dunlap (Steel – Session guy as well house band for CMT awards and Real Country TV show), Jenee Fleenor (Fiddle – CMA musician of the year 20, plays in Blake Shelton’s Band, huge session player.), Jeff Roach (Keys – Session guy, Tim McGraw, Tracy Lawrence, Chris Janson, Brett Eldridge) In watching Jered’s live streams over the last year I hear a bit of Alan Jackson in his voice, however, on “Rearview” there is a tinge of Kenny Chesney present. It is an up-beat traditional country song released just in time for the summer months. I have been following Jered on social media for awhile now, anxiously awaiting his debut single titled “Rearview”. I am excited to share this interview and announce this new single to be released 5.15.21 by Jered Ames.
