It is an upbeat track, that will have you singing the chorus for
days.

"I absolutely love that"
- Kerri Watt Pulse98.4
“An absolutely brilliant
song…a great great song we’ll watch that climb way up the chart” - Jim Duncan WCRfm 101.8 FM

Wolverhampton")
"Going for that more
modern sound indeed" - Lee
Williams CMR Nashville (“Europe’s No 1 Country Station)
Airplay from Chris Country
Radio “The UKs Country Station”
Paul said, “Myself and Claire got talking about taking chances
one night and whether in uncertain times are people more or less inclined to
take a leap of faith, see dreams through to fruition or is everything
disposable. Somewhere in there the phrase, you have to just run with the night
was used and an idea was born.”.
In this
phone interview listen to Raintown’s front man Paul Bain talk to Jim Duncan on WCRfm 101.8 FM
(Wolverhampton Community Radio "The station with a lot more for
Wolverhampton") about the duos experience in the writing, creative process,
recording and sponsorship of Run With The Night and about their forthcoming
tour dates. It was first broadcast on Thursday April 5, 2018.
16 awards in 5 years and two critically acclaimed albums, Raintown deliver a startling
take on UK contemporary country that is both firmly-rooted and unashamedly
forward-thinking. Their intensely charismatic live performances are imbued with
a spirit and energy that that continues to cement their place as one of the
UK’s leading new breed of country acts.

RUN WITH THE NIGHT shows an impressive development for this
songwriting couple who have fused their passion for country music with their
eclectic musical influences and continue the tradition of exciting new music to
emerge from Glasgow. Claire explained, “We are parents now – a 17month old
baby girl called Alba-Rose – and it definitely changes your perspective of the
world and certainly gives you new material as songwriters.”
Paul further commented, “Through a large dose of serendipity we
had a chance to sit down and have a coffee with John (McLaughlin.) His passion
for song writing and production in unabated and infectious – we are grateful
for the opportunity to work with him.”
This sensational new single will continue to
elevate this impressive duo to new heights and further underline their place in
the burgeoning UK Country scene. Raintown would like to thank ‘Mutch Better Foods Ltd’ (Robbie Mutch CEO Food
Delivery Service of Mutch Better Foods Limited, Achorn House, 34 Millbank Road,
Munlochy Ross-Shire IV8 8ND) who
have sponsored this single.
Run With The Night was recorded in Glasgow at the Audio Lounge (Website) with Raintown’s
regular band, Stevie Lawrence
(Acoustic/Bauzuki), Scott MacPherson
(Bass), John Alexander (Drums) and John Mather (Lead Guitar) - Produced by
John McLaughlin, Vocals by Gordy Goudie and Mixed and Mastered in NYC by Dave
Thomas Jnr. A “Really great team” shares Paul.

from Country Music People granted them a glowing 5 STAR Review in the
publication:
Chris Smith (Country Music
People 5 STARS) ...the whole package is slick, unpretentious and very
professionally delivered – 10 words that also describe this album . Living The
Same Old Song which in my book is an absolute winner. To be honest none of the
tracks are there simply to make the numbers. Every single one has something
remarkable about it….Justin Johnstone has managed to capture superb vocal
performances from both Paul & Claire and listening to this on a quality
sound system you really appreciate the nuances in Billy Decker’s excellent mix.
