Single – “You Get Me Every Time” – Opens The Gates To Introduce “Nashville’s Best Kept Secret”
Coming To Country Radio—March 20, 2017
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Apple Row Records is pleased to introduce the debut single from its flagship artist Parker Willingham. Willingham will make introductions official with his first single titled “You Get Me Every Time.”* The offering is the lead single from Willingham’s newest album by the same name (YOU GET ME EVERY TIME) and makes evident the artist’s talent for stylistic yet simplistic lyrical phrasing complemented by modern country music composition infused with Southern Rock nuance.
The mid-tempo, evocative ballad opens with sweet floating electric guitar laced with soft, subtle acoustic undertones to spotlight the mellow arpeggio intro. The storyline caresses every little detail of a woman’s magnetic power and a man’s weakness, and willingness, to appreciate her spellbinding allure. The track showcases Parker’s prowess to express and deliver emotion with his sandy vocals in this no-holdin’ back, ocean deep love song.
“No question, when we’re in, ‘we’re in’,” said Willingham. “When we let down our guard, a woman can just take a man over to nearly become defenseless, and that’s what I wanted to convey in this song. I wanted to say something that women want to hear. I wrote it with two women (Kate and Paula); they helped me to touch on some sentiments that are spot on.”
Written by Willingham (alongside Kate Hart and Paula Hallmark, and produced by Hart), the single is scheduled to impact radio March 20, 2017 [CDX Vol. 645 (3/20/17)/PlayMPE (3/07/17)]. Jerry Duncan Promotions will spearhead the radio campaign.
Parker Willingham is a straightforward, down to earth southern gent, with an infectious “cat got the cannery” grin, sense of humor and wit. He’s a man of substance and soul with a conscious respect for others and personal insight and admiration for women. The traits trademark his music.
While his “beach-dwelling redneck” background lends to his southern sandy texture, Parker is an all-around music lover of various styles and genres (Styx, Skynyrd, Garth Brooks, George Strait, The Eagles and James Bay as examples). His Florida Panhandle country roots, combined with Rock, Blues and Reggae influences, are brought to life with Parker’s dirty, swampy, country vocal delivery and instrumentation. Parker is an entertainer with the knack to turn on a dime; he possesses the innate ability to segue from a raucous, good timin’ honky tonk tune to a haunting, spine-chilling, impassioned ballad.
“Parker Willingham is absolutely incredible; this guy must be heard. He’s ‘Nashville’s best-kept secret’ and he’s going to be explosive!” – Seth Coburn, Morning Drive Host / KLAW101 (OK)
Since his arrival in Nashville (2011), Parker has performed as a regular at every notable and renowned nightclub (and dive) in Nashville. He has sat in at writer’s rounds, had two callbacks to “The Voice” and performs each year in the Swiss Alps. He signed with the indie label Apple Row Music Group in 2014.
“You Get Me Every Time” will be available via all major digital retail and streaming outlets (Amazon/iTunes/Pandora/
