Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Charlie Worshamâs new song, âFist Through This Town,â is out today via Warner Music Nashville.
Produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Miranda Lambert) and written by Worsham, Jeremy Spillman and Travis Meadows, âFist Through This Townâ expresses the anger, struggle, frustration and, ultimately, the love that Worsham has experienced throughout his career as an artist. Â
Reflecting on the song, Worsham shares, âI think we all go through those times when it feels like the world is against us, and thatâs especially true for anyone who dares to chase down their dream. âFist Through This Townâ fell onto the page late one solitary night in a little house I used to rent on Lillian Street. It was fueled by whiskey and a season of frustration, watched over by a painting of George Jones hanging on the wall, illuminated by the glow of hand-me-down lamps. âFistâ was the first time I got that honest with myself about my anger. My hope is that this song can be rocket fuel for everyone else out there struggling to will a dream into existence.â
âFist Through This Townâ is Worshamâs first new music since his 2017 album, Beginning of Things, and furthers his reputation as an artist with âundeniable musical talentâ (NPR Music). Released to overwhelming critical acclaim, Beginning of Things landed on several âBest of 2017â lists including Rolling Stone, Variety, PopMatters, Nashville Scene and Vulture, who praised, âa multifaceted talentâa warm, thinking singer, hook writer, and pickerâand one of the most well-regarded underdogs in Nashville.â Moreover, The Wall Street Journal proclaimed, âarguably the most blatantly talented multi-threat younger man in country music⊠a fiery guitar picker; a rangy, affecting song interpreter as a vocalist; and a witty yet compassionate collaborating songwriterâ and American Songwriter declared, âone of countryâs most formidable dark horses, a quiet contender worthy of the attention and airplay claimed by his less cerebral contemporaries.âÂ
Since the release of his 2013 debut, Rubberband, Worsham has established himself as one of Nashvilleâs most beloved and well-respected artists. In addition to his own music, heâs a frequent collaborator including work with Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Brandy Clark, Luke Combs, Vince Gill, Kacey Musgraves, Marty Stuart, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban among several others. He also earned a nomination for Specialty Instrument Player of the Year at the 55th ACM Awards and has toured extensively across the world including numerous shows performing as of part of Old Crow Medicine Show as well as dates with Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Kenny Rogers, Lee Ann Womack, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
