Multi #1 songwriter John Morgan today releases the heartrendingly smooth “Long Ride Home,” as his party starter anthem “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” surges into Top 30 at country radio. Leaning into his small-town, blue-collar roots, “Long Ride Home” tells the story of a hard-working 18-wheeler truck driver making his way back home – to her. Listen now HERE.
Joining Nate Smith for his 2024 “Through The Smoke” Tour this fall as well as making his Stagecoach Festival debut in 2025, “Long Ride Home” is John’s gift to fans before hitting the road.
The boldly gritty artist – praised by the Tennessean as “a Music City songwriting star” – consistently shows why he’s one of Nashville’s most sought-after writers, having written a multitude of songs for not only Jason Aldean but Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and more.
With his critically acclaimed “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” climbing the charts, the Tennesseanpraises the anthemic debut radio single, as a “live concert favorite whose banjo and steel underpinnings still allow room for a hard-rocking core,” with Billboard adding, “Broken hearts aren’t typically pleasurable, although the breezy melody and pulsing guitars on ‘Friends Like That’ make loneliness sound attractive.”
“Friends Like That” was originally featured on his 2023 debut EP, Remember Us? – his six-song introduction that mixed his signature “sad-boy country” heartbreakers with lively up-tempo barn burners, effortlessly flowing between romantic relatability and nostalgia to crank-it-to-ten singalongs. “Oozing with validity, Morgan’s subtle twang is undeniably fresh and is a swift and welcomed return to the traditional sounds…that fans also crave” (All Country News), “standing apart from the rest of the Country crowd, as he brings a more traditional Country flair to the Pop-Country sounds of today’s genre” (Songwriter Universe).
Currently in the studio, John Morgan is readying even more new music to release very soon.
