“Best Thing Since Backroads” is the latest soon-to-be chart-topping single from Jake Owen.  The Florida native has nine #1 singles to his credit, and while his existing fanbase will love this new track, he should also be garnering new followers with this release.

Drawing a rather stark contrast from his notable modern sound, “Backroads” represents a throwback to a much more traditional sound.  The catchy guitar riff immediately hooks the listener, and the track opens up to a rockier, edgier sound with the chorus.

“You’re the best thing since backroads baby

Pedal to the metal with the windows down

Sunshine setting on a cross that saved me

Hanging from a rearview in red dirt clouds”.

Owen is in no means a traditional country singer, but this tune, written by Hunter Phelps, Ben Johnson, Geoff Warburton, and Jordan Minton, has surely introduced him to a new audience. He is currently on the road promoting the new music, playing shows at casinos, fairs, and theaters scheduled through the end of October.
