Rural Rhythm Records is pleased to announce the new single “Leaning Toward Leaving” from Steve Gulley And New Pinnacle.
Written by Steve Gulley and Tim Stafford, “Leaning Toward Leaving” is the second single from the groups’ upcoming fourth Rural Rhythm Records album HIGH PEAKS AND NEW GROUND which also contains the first single, “Real Shine” which reached #1 on the Bluegrass Today Weekly Airplay Chart.
“Leaning Toward Leaving” has that signature hard drivin’ sound that reminds us of other big Steve Gulley And New Pinnacle hits like “Leaving CrazyTown”, “Aim High”, “Drowned In Sorrow” and more.
”
‘Leaning Toward Leaving’ is a song I wrote with my good friend, Tim
Stafford. It tells the story of a guy who keeps threatening to leave a
relationship but just can’t seem to follow through on his promise to go.
His heart keeps overruling his mind in a constant emotional tug of war.
It’s a fun, up – tempo tune that helps to put a light – hearted spin on
how crazy love can be.”- Steve Gulley

“Our
new album is a unique collection of music in the fact that it allows
us, as a band, to look back at some of the most successful songs we’ve
been able to create and record in the past few years while, at the same
time, looking forward and establishing a strong beginning to the future
of New Pinnacle with the fresh, new music we’ve included here…Six of our
