As the excitement reaches fever-pitch ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI's release on November 19th, we've found a sneak preview of the game's Back Country Radio station, which features Morgan Wallen and Lana Del Rey as the co-hosts, MW and Delta Dawne.
The leaked audio gives listeners the chance to hear what kind of songs they can expect to hear on Back Country Radio, which serves as one of the many in--play radio stations available in GTA VI, alongside Flash FM, AfroBank FM, Dirty South Classics and more.
In the newly shared snippet, which has been uploaded by streamer Blazerblitzz, you can hear David Allan Coe's ‘Need A Little Time Off For Bad Behavior’, Loretta Lynn's ‘Don't Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind)’ and Hank Williams, Jr. and Waylon Jennings’ iconic 1979 collaboration, ‘The Conversation’.
The message is clear - this will be the home of old-school and outlaw country music, with this clip adding to the anticipation ahead of the Rockstar Games release next week.
You can also hear clips of Wallen and Lana chatting to one another as their in-game characters, MW and Delta Dawne. At the start, Wallen references how outlaw country stars always had a penchant for singing about dramatic crimes, which ties in with the GTA VI narrative. He quips, “Nothing's more poetic than singing about crime”.
Elsewhere in the snippet, in-between songs, Lana asks Wallen, “Hey, you're an outlaw guy, aren't you?”, with Wallen responding coyly. After one particularly enchanting classic country song, Lana gushes, “I could listen to those guys sing about anything”. Lana's real-life husband, Jeremy Dufrene, is due to make a number of light-hearted cameos on Back Country Radio, too, with Dufrene appearing as Mud Dog Mike, a roving swamp reporter, airboat captain and swamp meteorologist.
Wallen, of course, has a song on the official GTA VI soundtrack - ‘Last Thing You Need’ - joining Travis Scott, Future, Metro Boomin, Cardi B, Tove Lo, Fred Again and more.
Fans have been keenly awaiting GTA VI for 13 years, with the blockbuster game finally set to hit stores on November 19th. We can't wait to drive around as retro country anthems play out and MW and Delta Dawne chat happily away through the speakers.
