Gavin Adcock Announces ‘Country Never Dies’

Gavin Adcock has announced a forthcoming project ‘Country Never Dies,’ set to release Friday, March 13th.

Adcock’s vision for the body of work is multi-faceted. As a fan of classic Country music himself, he wanted the project to be a reminder of where the genre came from and honor those who paved the way for him and other artists.

“I came up with the idea of this album one day when I was listening to some country music and realized that I’m never going to get to hear any new music from some of the artists, because they’re not with us anymore,” says Adcock. “I grew up listening to a bunch of these artists, and some of them are the main reason I’m in Country music, and how I got my style.”

Adcock enlisted the help of nine of his artist peers to join him on the special, timeless, project.

“I chose these young artists for this project because they’re some of my favorite up and coming artists in all of country music, and I think everyone should listen to ‘em. Some of them have already made a good way in the business, and then some of them that maybe y’all have never heard of.”

The first song to release off the forthcoming album, “Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line,” made famous by Waylon Jennings, is available now.

“There’s a bunch of people that these songs mean the world to them. They grew up listening to these songs, hearing their parents or grandparents play them. I think it is important in country music to remember the people who paved the way for us. This is Country Never Dies.”
