Swamp Eyes Gets Cinematic in New Single, “Dig A Hole”

On-the-Rise Country Music Artist Dallas Remington Releases New Single, “Guilty”
On-the-Rise Country music artist Dallas Remington has released her new single, “Guilty.” The latest in a string of single releases, the tongue-in-cheek tune was co-written by Craig Wilson, Nancy Deckant and Dallas Remington. “Sometimes being overly honest with your co-writers works out in your favor. One day instead of just saying ‘I’m sorry I was late’ or ‘sorry, there was traffic’ like most people would do, I felt the need to tell Craig and Nancy, in detail, why I was late for our writing appointment. I had seen the most gorgeous metro police officer and a fire truck full of good-looking firemen on my way. Both of those situations had me so flustered that I got lost trying to get to our writing session. That led to a very long conversation about my attraction to men in uniform and the next thing you know, “Guilty” was born!” shared Dallas Remington.

Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors Release New Single “Gratitude” Today
I wrote this song a few days before Thanksgiving last year with my friend Ketch Secor. We were talking about all that was wrong with the world, the troubles everyone is facing, the political division, the unrest, all the post pandemic blues, and yet in the midst of it, how much there is to be grateful for. I remember asking my grandfather many years ago near the end of his life, what was the best gift he had been given. Without hesitating, he said “Well life itself.” That has stuck with me for all these years, despite the troubles and sorrows we all face, we have breath in our lungs, old memories to reflect on and new memories to make, people that we love and people that have loved us, smells and sounds that bring us peace, old friends, changing seasons, and so many other things to give us light in times of darkness. Seeing life through this lens is sometimes an act of courage, and one we needed to remind ourselves of on that day when we wrote this song. – Drew Holcomb on “Gratitude”
