Uncle Kracker is no stranger to country music. His collaboration with Kenny Chesney, “When The Sun Goes Down,” spent five weeks atop the country charts and he co-wrote Kid Rock’s smash hit “All Summer Long.” He has also toured with Kenny as both a supporting act and special guest. Now, Uncle Kracker is releasing his own country project, an EP titled Happy Hour: The South River Road Session.
Available in stores and online now, Happy Hour: The South River Road Session features six songs, five of which were reworked from last year’s Happy Hour release. Among those six tracks is a country version of “Smile” which was certified platinum in April by the RIAA. Watch an exclusive acoustic performance of “Smile” taped in the GAC Studios »
“I’ve always had a genuine passion for country. I think that audiences appreciate that, and that’s why they’re giving me a chance,” Uncle Kracker said. “Country music was one of the types of music I grew up with, so elements of it naturally come out in my songwriting. Listening to a lot of my songs – all the way back to ‘Follow Me’ – I feel like I’ve been making country music for years.”
The EP also features collaborations. Kid Rock is heard on “Good To Be Me” and new artist Jesse Lee, who Kracker likens to a young Dolly Parton, is heard on “Me Again.” Listeners may also recognize a sample of White Snake’s “Here I Go Again” on “Livin’ The Dream.” Listen to all six, full-length tracks online now at GACTV.com »
