Original Tune Offers A Nod To Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Chris LeDoux & Hank Jr.
• Due April 22, 2022 Via All Digital Retail & Streaming Platforms •
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ten Inch Vinyl Entertainment, Nashville, TN, has announced the release of the sophomore single from its flagship artist, Dakota Poorman; Poorman will release his self-penned tune, “Hippie @ Heart,” via all digital retail and streaming outlets on Friday, April 22, 2022. (Presale/Pre-save event begins Friday, March 25, 2022; distribution by The Fuel Music Management Company.)
Produced by Malcolm Springer (who has also worked alongside Matchbox 20, Collective Soul, Eric Clapton, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Nappy Roots, among others) at the House of Blues studios in Nashville, the smokin’, unapologetic, make-no-bones-about-it tune cranks with a fiddle opener that is fueled by banjo highlights throughout. With a nod to Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Hank Jr., the contemporary production and loud and proud vocals are characteristic of Poorman’s unique “Red White & Blue Collar” style and takes listeners to a new high far beyond “The Dark Side Of The Moon.” The new release follows the momentum of Poorman’s debut single, “American Made,” which was met with early welcome and applause at country radio and among fans topping out at No. 68 on the MusicRow Country Breakout Chart (Sept. 2021).
“This song just kind of wrote itself. ’Hippie @ Heart,’ is basically about me and my upbringing,” said the Washington native, Dakota Poorman. “Growing up, I listened to Willie Nelson and Pink Floyd, and explored ‘recreational fun’ before I became more serious about my musical journey. It’s a modern, honky tonk party song that introduces Pink Floyd, Willie Nelson and Bocephus; with just the mere mention, you can imagine the vibe!”
I’m just a hippie at heart
I blazed a trail right from the start
If you want it know I got it
That OG purple chronic shit is way off the chart
I love that old school Johnny Cash
Good Ole Bocephus with a bag of grass
A different world with just a spark
I’m just a hippie at heart
“’Hippie @ Heart’ is what I call ‘hardcore honky tonk’ country and showcases Dakota’s raw and realistic larger than life vocals over the meanest, leanest bar band you’ve ever heard,” said Nashville producer Malcolm Springer, “and…that’s exactly what you’ll hear!”
Dakota recently participated in CRS-2022 in Nashville; he is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on new music with tunes scheduled to rollout as a waterfall series throughout 2022.
