NASHVILLE, TENN. – Just hours after performing the song in country music’s hallowed Circle at the Grand Ole Opry, Big Loud Texas country traditionalist Jake Worthington, known for his steel-soaked catalog of “music undaunted by time” (The Tennessean), releases “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart).”
The La Porte, Texas native wrote the song alongside Stuart and Jenna LaMaster with legendary hall-of-famer Stuart lending his masterful guitar talents to the song. Embracing the twanging sensibilities of Worthington, “I’m The One” shines as the first release since Worthington’s down-on-your-luck duet “Hello Shitty Day” with superstar Miranda Lambert.
With more new music on the horizon, “I’m The One” proves why Worthington is “infinitely valued as a fundamental part of the neotraditional movement afoot again in country music” (The Tennessean) and “his signature country-as-cornbread charm” (MusicRow) is front and center:
If she’s looking for a true blue, dirt road charmer
A blue blooded, mean business, knight in shining armor
To love you with the love that’s hotter than the sun
I’m the one, I’m the one, I’m the one
Listen to “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart)” here.
In addition to his set at the Opry last night (3/13), Worthington opened for Zach Top at Ryman Auditorium at the end of last month, performing favorites from his self-titled debut album of “gorgeous beer-joint purism” (Texas Monthly) like “Next New Thing,” “Night Time Is My Time,” and waltzing “State You Left Me In,” leading American Songwriter to declare: “Zach Top and Jake Worthington may have single-handedly revived traditional country.”
Worthington will continue to tour supporting Top and Riley Green throughout the spring. For tour dates, please visit jakeworthington.com.
