"'A Little Every Day' is another collaboration with my Book Of My Blues co-producers, Chad Cromwell and Kenny Greenberg. We wrote this from a place of hope and celebration for the simple things that matter most," Collie tells Wide Open Country. "I believe we all can use a little more love and understanding, especially in these challenging times...just a little every day!"
Listen to "A Little Every Day" below.
Book of My Blues features 12 original songs written or co-written by Collie and three covers of rockabilly classics: "Hey Boba Lou," "Night Train to Memphis" and "Matchbox." The album's themes were inspired by the graphic novel Rockabilly Hitman, a collaboration between Collie and director Jonathan Hensleigh.
The title track was co-written by Collie and his friend and frequent collaborator Billy Bob Thornton.
"There are a lot of ways to describe the music, maybe Roadhouse Rock, Southern Gothic, Americana, Country, but at its core, it's a reflection of me and many others who came before me," Collie said in a statement.
The Tennessee-born artist, who released his debut country album with 1990's Hardin County Line, scored country hits with "Born to Love You," "Even the Man in the Moon is Crying" and more.
Collie is also a talented actor who's appeared in The Punisher, Walker, Texas Ranger and Nashville.
In addition to his solo career, Collie has written songs for Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Martina McBride, George Jones and more.
