American Idol winner Chayce Beckham - who just made his Grand Ole Opry debut and wrapped Luke Bryan’s Country On and Farm Tours - today releases “This Ol’ Rodeo” via 19 Recordings/BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records, ahead of his show at NFR’s “Rodeo World 2023” on December 10 at Resorts World Las Vegas. As his entirely self-written, RIAA-PLATINUM hit single “23” surges toward Top 15 at US country radio and hit #1 at Canadian country radio, Beckham continues to showcase everything he and his music stands for - "pure, sincerely raw storytelling...pumping meaning into what country music is all about" (PopCulture), and "This Ol’ Rodeo” is no different. With his signature bluesy rasp at the forefront, a cowboy finds the one ready to take on his rugged ways in this new track anchored by a Cash-era, locomotion beat. Listen below.
“‘This Ol’ Rodeo’ is a song I’m excited to have out,” says Chayce. “It’s inspired by a close friend of mine. This one’s for all the cowboys and cowgirls out there, literally and figuratively. This song is about taking on something that might be a little bit wilder than you, trying to hang on, and loving it through the wins and losses whether it loves you back or not.”
With his highly anticipated debut album on the way, “This Ol’ Rodeo,” follows the release of his captivating “Whiskey On The Wall,” the heart-pulsing “Little Less Lonely,” the gripping “Till The Day I Die” that he performed on American Idol earlier this year, the “heartbreak-induced insomnia” (Country Now) of “Keeping Me Up All Night,” and the incredible success of his debut EP Doin It Right that skyrocketed to No. 1 on the iTunes All Genre and Country charts.
One of only three singles on the country radio chart this year that was self-penned by the artist, his smash debut “23” has become an anthemic staple in his live shows. Now RIAA-certified platinum, the semi-autobiographical song has racked up over 330 million on-demand streams and topped numerous viral charts, including #1 on iTunes All-Genre and Country charts. The first to ever win ABC’s American Idol with an original song, “23” is a deeply personal depiction of a man’s hardships, self-written during a particularly dark time in Beckham’s own life before he auditioned for the star-making competition series.
Since his history-making win, Beckham and his voice that Katy Perry said “sounds like the heart of America” has earned him critical acclaim from ABC’s Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel, E! News!, Billboard, People, CMT, PopCulture, Sweety High, American Songwriter and more.
