Lainey Wilson, Charlie Worsham and Jason Nix performed an unreleased track from Charlie’s upcoming album on the third night of the Country 2 Country festival in Berlin on Sunday, March 9th.
The self-styled “Louisiana Woman-Mississippi Men” stunned the crowd with the plaintive ballad, which tells the story of a breakup that sees one half of a former couple holding on to the lost love, whilst the other happily lets go and makes the most of their singledom.
During the undulating hook, they croon, “Somebody’s downtown, somebody’s alone / One’s on a new high, one’s just getting stoned / Somebody lets go, somebody holds on / You fall out of love, hearts break right in two / You’d think they’d break even, but they never do”.
Lainey Wilson confirmed she will be singing backing vocals on the track, which is planned for release later this year. “I’m so glad that this song found a home and it could not be more perfect,” Wilson told the crowd at her headlining set, calling the track “bad-ass”.
Wilson also revealed the impact that Worsham’s debut album, Rubberband, has had on her career, telling the crowd, “When I lived in my camper trailer in Nashville for the first three years I was there, the Rubberband record is the only record I listened to. It’s the thing that inspired me and made me want to keep writing and keep doing the thing”.
The trio also stunned the crowd with a moving rendition of Lainey Wilson’s number one hit, ‘Things A Man Oughta Know’, with Wilson revealing that co-writer Jason Nix had originally envisaged the song as being sung by a man. “You thought it was going to be a dude idea,” Lainey told the crowd. “It was not, it was a Lainey idea’”.
We couldn’t agree more.
