COUNTRY
TRADITIONALIST JAKE WORTHINGTON DROPS THE NEEDLE ON “NOT LIKE I USED TO”
ANNOUNCED,
WORTHINGTON JOINS ZACH TOP AS DIRECT SUPPORT ON THE COLD
BEER & COUNTRY MUSIC TOUR
NASHVILLE,
TENN. –
(June 20, 225) Big Loud Texas country traditionalist Jake Worthington releases
swaying new ballad “Not Like I Used To,” flanked by steel and
fiddle. The cover art features a portrait shot by legendary hall-of-famer and
recent collaborator Marty Stuart. The song itself is marked by
Worthington's signature, “confident, assured style — seemingly frozen in amber,
floating in dive-bar dust” (The Tennessean).
“It's
a song about the way it was,” Worthington shares. “It's the
fourth song we're putting out from the upcoming project. Brand new country song
from the same ole country boy.”
Worthington
penned “Not Like I Used To” alongside Monty Criswell and Derek George.
Exemplifying his commitment to “authentic Texas country with a deep
devotion to the genre's heritage” (Holler), the song laments a
great love gone by:
“I
knew every move
What
made her laugh
What
made her cry
And
even though
She
let me go
I'm
still holding her tight…
But
not like I used to
Not
like I did once upon a time
Not
like I used to
When
she was mine”

This release follows the success of recent tongue-in-cheek toe-tapper “It
Ain't The Whiskey” that has racked up over 40 million
listens. Earlier this year, the Texas native released “I'm The One
(feat. Marty Stuart)” – and was joined by superstar Miranda
Lambert last fall for “Hello Shitty Day.”
It was also announced, Worthington will join Zach Top as direct support on all
dates of the Cold Beer & Country Music Tour – with
notable stops at beloved venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Sept. 28 and
29. On sale begins June 27.
Displaying
his honky-tonk stylings on CMA Fest stages earlier this month, Billboard declared
that Worthington, “conjured up the ghosts of country legends like George
Jones and Waylon Jennings with his twangy, authentic traditionalism and big
voice,” during his set. He will continue to bring pure country anthems to
venues across the country, including a run of home-state shows dubbed Jake
Worthington's Texas Two Step, followed by supporting slots on Jon
Pardi's Honkytonk Hollywood Tour and Top's Cold Beer
& Country Music Tour.
