In 2012, he topped his own success with ‘Hard 2 Love,’ an album that went Gold and featured three #1 Country singles, including “I Drive Your Truck,” which won Song of the Year at both the CMA and ACM Awards. The title track reached #3 on the Billboard Country chart and set a record as the longest-charting song in that chart’s history. Lee released his debut project, ‘Love Like Crazy,’ in 2009. Pre-orders for the album will begin on September 1, and Lee will continue to tour in promotion of the single and album through its release this fall. As a boy, Lee Brice was drawn to gospel music, as well as his fathers record collection, which included plenty of Allman Brothers and Oak Ridge Boys. I’ve labored over every word and every note, and I can’t wait to share it.”Īs you listen through, you’ll hear themes of family, love, traditions, ties-that-bind and the American ideals of quality and hard work, all wrapped up in rich tones, textured instrumentation and, Lee’s evocative vocal. This Sumter, S.C., native has a sound that successfully incorporates elements of traditional honky-tonk with a distinctly modern - and sometimes rap-oriented - twist. Every song is a snapshot of who I am right now. Of the forthcoming album, Lee says, “Writing this record was a personal and vulnerable experience. The second reason is because, coincidentally, we have a daughter on the way in a couple of weeks and we wanted to share this song for our boys before she arrived.” This song is a tribute to them it’s my way of saying how proud I am to be their dad. “First, Sara and I have two sons, Takoda (9) and Ryker (3). Lee also has great stories this week about Ashley McBryde, Russell Dickerson, Jason Aldean, Jimmie Allen, and Dan & Shay.“We wanted to make ‘Boy’ our first single for a couple of reasons,” says Lee. At the end of the day, I get to choose what the song sounds like.” So one night, I played the acoustic solo, sent it in, and that was the record. I had to fight my producers because they wanted an electric solo. The night we wrote it, I played that lick and that’s what started the whole song off. Lee is justifiably proud of his hit One Of Them Girls: “I’m playing the acoustic lick on that song. That kind of stuff I wouldn’t have been able to do.” We had a big wind storm and blew down some trees, so I had the boys out helping me chop up the trees. When Lee isn’t writing songs, he’s usually at home with his three kids: “We’ve been out on the farm, taking time to teach them things on the farm, life skills, from driving a stick shift to planting a garden.

He’s a good neighbor, I borrowed a generator the last time the power went out, so he’s a good neighbor.”
So I go out, and it was Chase! I notice he’s grown a mustache. The other day, I looked out the window, and saw these guys running, they’re both buff and tan. Speaking of neighbors, Lee lives near Chase Rice: “He’s literally across the street from my farm. So we ended up swappin’ stories, sharin’ a cocktail, so it was cool to hang out with Jon.” Turns out they’re neighbors, and he stops by all the time. So we’re hanging out, and all of a sudden, Jon Pardi drops in. I have this song that’s really fun, and think it’ll be a good collaboration. “I was writing with Kid Rock at his house. Lee says he’s been spending his time writing songs with a wide variety of people. Se we got to take it in, hang out together, and congratulate ourselves.” He ordered up some barbecue, and we just hung out and talked.
So it was a blessing, it was just the writers and myself, five of us at Luke Combs’ garage. His last time here was with Carly Pearce and their duet “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” Lee tells Lon they had a subdued #1 party: “Normally a #1 party is a ton of people packed into a small space.
