Every Song's A Drinkin' Song - Commentary

Hi, we're Midland

Thanks for checking out our Let it Roll album

Release special with Becca on Big Machine Radio

Have you downloaded Midland's new album Let it Roll? Or have

You saved it on your favorite streaming service? It is out

Now and I am excited about this next song. It's called "Every

Song's a Drinkin' Song". And I imagine, guys, that when you

Were writing this, there had to be an element of thinking about

That live show and the way people were gonna react, so did you

Have your live show in mind when you were writing this song?

I remember this, we were on the tour bus and Liz Rose and Jeremy

Spillman came out. It was the first time we had actually written with

That combination. And we were kind of feeling our ways out and trying

A bunch of different ideas and we kinda just went back to basics on

This one and decided to just write a country, country song. And I

Think we were, had already cracked some beers and everybody just

Wanted to have fun. It was almost just like, uh, therapeutic

And, uh, when we came up with that "Every Song's a Drinkin'

Song", as soon as that idea was set forth, everybody latched

Onto it and we actually wrote that song rather quickly. And it's

Just a lot of fun, I mean, we were kinda chasing and not saying

That we obtained it, but it was very much in the vein of "

Friends in Low Places" and one of those songs that you get to

See coming on the jukebox and it's very accessible. The hook

The chorus is, is memorable and, and it's meant to be a sing-along

Well, and I'm curious, was there a discussion about the legends

That you wanted to name-check? You've got Cash, Haggard, Dwight

Jones, or did those just kinda fall out in the writing process?

It was just like, everybody was throwing it out, you know? You're

Like, "Okay, if you're writing the quintessential country drinking

Song, who needs to be on that?" And I think we just touched upon

Some of the biggest legends, of course, you know, Johnny Cash

Willie Nelson, Hank Jr., Dwight Yoakam and I love the last one, Patsy

Cline to drink some wine, you know? So it's all, uh, spirits included

, You know, whatever you like and, uh, we kinda touched upon it all

Well, I love it. I think it's gonna be a big

Fun party song for people. It's "Every Song's a

Drinkin' Song" off Midland's new album Let it Roll
