Shane Owens to make CRS Return with new single "Love To Try Them On"

Amerimonte Records to host private suite at Omni Nashville Hotel


NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Neo-Traditional Country singer and songwriter Shane Owens will be making his return to Country Radio Seminar (CRS), February 13-15, at the Omni Nashville Hotel. The Alabama-native, and 2018 Music Row Independent Artist of the Year, is currently promoting his latest single "Love To Try Them On," the second single from his latest album, IT'S A SOUTHERN THING.

Release Date: 29 Aug. 2018
Label: Amerimonte Records, LLC
Total Length: 21:22
Genres: Country

"It’s always a privilege and an honor to be able to some to CRS each year," says Owens. "It gives artists the chance to come and personally thank the very people that play our songs and support us at radio. Without these folks believing in our talent and in the songs that we write and deliver to them, it wouldn’t be possible to do what we do. They are the core to our success, and it means the word to be able to shake their hands and thank them face to face for all their hard work and support."

Released via Amerimonte Records in 2018, It's A Southern Thing remains consistent with Owens' traditional country sound, but blended with a modern edge. Owens offers a clever and compelling case for revering our music legends on "Love To Try Them On," as he proudly continues to be a flag-bearer for the traditional style that built the country format.

"This is one of the best songs I have ever recorded," says Owens. "I think that anybody that has a heart for traditional Country music will just fall in love with this song. Lyrically it pays homage to all of my radio heroes that have come before me. In my eyes there will never be another George Jones, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, Randy Travis or so many more; there are just too many great ones to list. These icons and their incredible works have paved the way for guys like me to be able to do what they love."

Amerimonte Records will host a private suite during CRS for Owens, who will be available for a series of scheduled & on-demand in-suite private showcases for all Program Directors, Media and music taste-makers.

Shane Owens' CRS Suite Performances:
Wed. Feb 13: 3:00 pm, 7:00 pm
Thur. Feb 14: 9:30 am, 2:00 pm, 6:00 pm
Fri. Feb 15: 9:30 am, 2:00 pm, 4:30 pm

About Shane Owens:
Named by Rolling Stone Country as one of “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” and awarded 2018 Music Row Independent Artist of the Year, Shane Owens has been building a strong following across the Southeast for more than a decade. 


His powerful vocal range combined with the emotional lyrical content of his songs has made him a favorite of fans, critics, and his fellow artists alike. After starting his career by opening shows for dozens of major stars in the mid-2000s, the baritone performer attracted the attention of Nashville music executives, and he soon landed a record deal. 

However, with all the changes in the music industry at the time, his album was shelved and never released. Just like the ‘Never Give Up’ mantra of his lyrics, Owens picked himself up and moved on, thanks to famed producer James Stroud (Tim McGraw, Aaron Lewis, Clint Black), Country music legend Randy Travis, who produced his first album, Where I’m Comin’ From, and Amerimonte Records. 

Never one to sit still for long, Owens followed up with his most recent release It’s A Southern Thing and is currently impacting at radio with his latest single “Love To Try Them On”.

Shane Owens releases new single “LIE”


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 5, 2018) —Unwavering and determined, Amerimonte Records recording artist Shane Owens is geared up for his single “LIE,” which released digitally last week and impacts radio on April 30th. 
Billboard hosted an exclusive debut of the behind the scenes video for the tongue in cheek song and an exclusive sneak peek by Nashville Noise of the tune. “LIE” is available to download and on all streaming digital platforms.



“Lie is one of my favorite songs on the new album because it is simply one of those songs everyone can relate to. Not only is it humorous, but people really enjoy it,” said Shane Owens. “It really is an awful way to get a girl, but sometimes you have to tell a little lie to get her attention.”

Billboard Magazine wrote: “Fans of traditional country music have long been awaiting the arrival of an artist who just might bring back those sounds to the airwaves. If he has his way, Alabama newcomer Shane Owens will be leading that charge.”

Shane’s humorous, tongue-in-cheek aspect takes on the role of a “wingman” for a pal in the new single. It kicks off with a screamin’ guitar lick and pounding drums. A definite driver of a track with tons of groove and high energy, it sets the stage for a “night on the town” feel – and descends into a Saturday Night Live-worthy romp from there. Two guys, a pretty gal and a world of tone-deaf advice equal a blast of a record that pokes humor at the foolishness of men.

LIE Lyrics
(Writers: Brian Callihan/Trent Willmon/Wayne Underwood)

A buddy of mine
Sweetest guy in the world
Always had a hard time
Gettin the girl
So I sat him down one night
And told him what to do

This is what you do man

Step one
You gotta get out of town
Two
Hit up the best bar around
Three, find the prettiest girl you can find


And buy her a drink
And look her right in the eye

And LIE
LIE like hell
Say you’re feeling something that you ain’t never felt
Inside
And you ain’t never done this
There’s just something about her
That you can’t resist
And if she asks you is this just for one night
LIE
Tell her she reminds you of momma
You don’t play games
And you ain’t got time for drama
You’re just out here looking for
Something real
And then she rolls her eyes
And says whatever
Have a backup plan
Something bigger and better
Like you’ve really got a lot of love to give
But you only got two days to live

And LIE
LIE like hell
Say you’re feeling something that you ain’t never felt

Inside And you ain’t never done this
There’s just something about her 
That you can’t resist
An d if she asks if you’re the cuddling kind
Hell, LIE
Tell her you and Kenny Chesney
Are best buddies
And you’re daddy’s the one
Who invented the snuggie
Whatever it takes
Take it from me
Tell her anything you think she’ll believe
And LIE
LIE like hell
Say you’re feeling something that you ain’t never felt
Inside And you ain’t never done this
There’s just something about her
That you can’t resist
And if she asks you is this just for one night
LIE
Just LIE
Man it’s bound to work sometime
