Nashville,
TN (May 12, 2014) – Country band LiveWire releases its latest Way Out
West Records’ single “Drivin’ You Outta My Mind” to Country radio today
via Play MPE and CDX InstaTracks.  It will be included on CDX Volume 596
on May 26. 
The song premieres for fans today at Roughstock and is available for purchase now at iTunes.
A
driving rock beat, burning guitar riffs, haunting pedal steel guitar,
impressive fiddle solo and intensely passionate vocals are all hallmarks
of “Drivin’ You Outta My Mind,” LiveWire’s much-anticipated follow-up
to “Whiskey Sunday,” the band’s 2013 single which made an impressive run
on MusicRow, Texas Music Chart and the Texas Regional Radio
Report.  The momentum earned LiveWire a nomination for “New
Duo/Band/Group of the Year” at the 2014 Texas Regional Radio Music
Awards. 
From
its opening, “Drivin’ You Outta My Mind,” transports the listener on a
wild ride through the wide open West.  As lead singer Andy Eutsler
begins the narrative, the kick drum pounds as he grabs gears and speeds
down the open road.  The melancholy and haunting undertone is
highlighted as he listens to the radio while the “DJ is pumpin’ one more
‘over-you-and-leavin’-tune.'”  Then all hell breaks loose and the
intensity builds as he crosses the Texas/Oklahoma line and shouts “I
ain’t thinkin’ ’bout you Baby and all I’m leavin’ behind!”  He hopes the
fast car will carry him away from the relationship-gone-bad and the
demons from his past – even though he knows that it may be a futile
attempt to mend his broken heart; “I’m tryin’ to get ahead of somethin,’
that always seems to catch me with time.  Your memory’s faster than the
lightnin’ striking,’ but I’m still burnin’ down those mile marker
signs, drivin’ you outta my mind.”
“Drivin’
You Outta My Mind” was written by LiveWire front man, Andy Eutsler, hit
Nashville tunesmith Johnny Bulford (Lee Brice, Eli Young Band, Chris
Young) and former LiveWire members Danny Bell and Landon Rolfe.  The
track was co-produced by Paul Carabello, Justin Woods and Clif Doyal and
features band members Andy Eutsler on vocals/acoustic guitar; Bobby
DeGonia on electric guitars; Cory Shultz on fiddle and Brad Allen on
drums.  They were joined in the studio by pedal steel guitarist Scott
Kwapiszeski and guitarist/bassist Paul Carabello, who are also part of
LiveWire’s touring band.
“Drivin’
You Outta My Mind” marks a turning point for the band following the
departure late last year of longtime rhythm guitarist/harmony vocalist
Danny Bell and bassist Landon Rolfe.  “In our long history as a band,
many great players have come and gone, but the heart of LiveWire still
beats strong,” states Eutsler.  “Our manager, Clif Doyal, really
challenged us to pick up the pieces and reinvent ourselves, and to put
more emphasis on my songwriting and the musical talent that we have in
the band.  So, we took a long hard look at where we were and we
re-dedicated ourselves to taking this thing to another level.”
And,
it seems that the formula is working; following a recent successful
combined radio and concert tour in Texas and Oklahoma, the single is
gaining strong support from Texas/Red Dirt radio programmers since its
release to the format in mid-April. 
  
A video for the song is currently in production and is slated for release in June.
ABOUT LIVEWIRE:
Edgy,
honest and passionate, LiveWire’s unique sound blends elements of
working man’s Country and rootsy Southern Rock.  The band’s music has
found success at Country radio, both in the U.S. and in Europe, and its
videos have received airplay on CMT Pure, ZUUS Country, The Nashville
Network and Yallwire.  Major media outlets including Billboard, Roughstock, Music News Nashville, the Texas Music Chart, Maverick and MusicRow magazine
have all touted LiveWire’s talents.  Since forming in the mid-’90s, the
group’s reputation as a top-shelf live act has been honed by years of
opening for, and performing on the same bill with, Toby Keith, LeAnn
Rimes, Mark Chesnutt, Kix Brooks and Texas/Red Dirt artists Casey
Donahew Band, Kyle Park and Bo Phillips, among many others. The band has
performed across America and on the hallowed stage of The Ryman
Auditorium in Nashville as national finalists in the 2009 Colgate
Country Showdown.  LiveWire released a self-titled EP in 2011 which
included its debut radio hit single, “Tater Fed.”  After signing with
Way Out West Records, LiveWire released a video for “Tater Fed” and a
single and video of “Miracle Of The Human Spirit,” which benefited the
group’s storm-ravaged hometown of Joplin, Mo., struck by an EF-5 tornado
in the spring of 2011.  LiveWire released its debut album LIVIN’ on Way Out West in late 2012.  The critically-acclaimed album produced the singles “Lies” and “Whiskey Sunday.”
