The buzz around Scott Southworth’s hardcore, honky tonk music
continues with his brand new release to radio. “Wish I Was Here” is
available to radio today. It is track number six on the award-winning
album titled, “Hey, Hillbilly Singer!”
The timing is perfect as the countdown to summer is on. The music
and lyrics set up an island paradise. But this is not your typical
summer celebration on the beach. Instead, Southworth’s yearning twang
reveals a heart left behind with the love of his life. It is a case of
being there, but not being there at the same time that will play out in
an upcoming video shot on the Gulf Coast. Southworth is the sole
songwriter on “Wish I Was Here,” which stays true to his pure country,
traditional stylings.
Scott Southworth’s songwriting and recordings have generated a
number of accolades over the past year. His album, “Hey Hillbilly
Singer” was named the Academy of Western Artists Pure Country Album of
the Year, as well as the North American Country Music Association
International (NACMAI) Adult Country Album Horizon Award winner. The
album also topped the Airplay Direct Top 50 Country/Alt. Albums Chart.
A Country Thang Daily review points out, “This could be one of the
best examples of how people ought to be making country albums all year.”
Duncan Warwick with Country Music People says, “… it’s as if
Southworth were tasked with making not just a perfect country album but
one that encompasses everything that’s good about country in the first
place.”
