Matt Hundley – Back To Country
Nashville country artist Matt Hundley has joined the small but exploding movement of songwriters rebelling against the confines of the pop country industry with his upcoming single, “Back to Country“. The song is gritty and honest, but still a fun, energetic, and positive tune with an undeniably catchy melody. The track is scheduled to impact radio on Monday, June 20th 2016.
Riding the momentum of his growing success as a songwriter, (His latest cut features rocker Jessie G and country superstar Gretchen Wilson) he has launched his artist career at the crossroads of country and Americana. Backed by the band of country outlaw legend Shooter Jennings, the fiddle and steel driven tracks reach back to the roots of “America’s genre”, while Matt Hundley‘s lyrics and unique voice provide a unique, fresh take on country music. Much like his live performances, Matt rebels against the norm of fronting a song on guitar, and instead leads the way with his boot-stomping fiddle, in a style reminiscent of Charlie Daniels. “Back to County” keeps a humorous feel as Matt sings about initially moving to Nashville and selling out to the pop country movement, then finally “Going back to country” as he becomes frustrated with the bland, auto-tuned “Nashville sound” and the blatant disrespect to women that is contained in many current country song lyrics.
In keeping with the true country vibe, “Back to Country” is produced by Scotty Schultz, long time drummer for country outlaw Shooter Jennings, and features Matthew Lee and Johnny Stanton from Jenning’s band, as well as CJ Udeen, pedal steel player for Gary Allan.
