PLAYED NYC HEADLINER EARLIER THIS WEEK; SET FOR CMA FEST NEXT SATURDAY (6/6)

ON THE ROAD WITH BILLY CURRINGTON & KIP MOORE LATER THIS YEAR

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today Big Loud Texas singer-songwriter Alex Lambert delivers “Lay Down In A Pickup,” a spellbinding reverie. The soul country force offers an ingenious take on a classic country trope, swapping the standard backroads setting for a romantic desert getaway. Watch Lambert’s visualizer for “Lay Down In A Pickup” here. 

Co-produced by Big Loud Texas Co-Founder Jon Randall, “Lay Down In A Pickup” emerged from a writing session with legendary songwriter Rivers Rutherford (Jamey Johnson, The Highwaymen). “Rivers had that title, and I got him on board with turning it into something with the cowboy-soul vibe I was going for,” says Lambert. “It’s still a pickup song, but we’re painting with the colors of South Texas and Baja California and all those desert places I felt inspired by.”

Offering a fresh take on the trope, Lambert sings: 

When you lay down in a pickup
Underneath the desert sky
With a poncho for a blanket
And a skin of Spanish wine
And you see how small we are
And how the stars were meant to shine
And living don’t hurt so much
When you lay down in a pickup

With a sound unlike any other in modern music, Lambert’s most recent releases are a gorgeous convergence of country, soul and timeless R&B. Announcing his signing with Big Loud Texas in January, Lambert released “Shoot Me Down,” one of Holler‘s “Best New Country Songs.” Since, he’s released “Rules of Attraction,” a song about undeniable chemistry, and “You Make Sense To Me” which serves as a statement of artistic intent. 

Lambert is currently embarking on headlining dates – including performing at New York City’s Mercury Lounge earlier this week. Next week, he’ll return to Music City for a billing at CMA Fest on Saturday (6/6) at Good Molecules Reverb Stage before heading out with Billy Currington and Kip Moore later this year.
