KRISTY COX ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF “FRONT PORCH OF PARADISE” AND MUSIC VIDEO ON BLUEGRASS TODAY
NASHVILLE, TENN (Sept. 6, 2024) – Bluegrass sensation and Billboard top charting artist Kristy Cox announces her new single to radio, “Front Porch of Paradise” and premiere of the official music video set to debut on Bluegrass Today. This announcement comes on the heels of her latest album, Let It Burn, which recently claimed the coveted #1 spot on the Billboard Charts. Listen HERE.
Set to hit radio airwaves, the track has already captured the attention of listeners for its classic bluegrass sound and rich storytelling, celebrating the beauty of life’s simple pleasures. Songwriters Marcy Each, Susan Anderegg, and Jerry Salley blend their collective talents to create a heartfelt tribute to home.
A&R/creative director of Billy Blue Records and co-writer, Jerry Salley stated, “Growing up in the country, I guess I always took for granted how blessed I was - until I moved away from home. The lush green fields, the beautiful rows of silver queen corn, half-runner green beans and big boy tomatoes we grew were all just natural to me and my family. We called it ‘God’s Country’. A few years ago, while I was in Iowa teaching a songwriting workshop at the Strawberry Jam Camp in Strawberry Point, Iowa, one of our attendees, Marcy Each, had a great idea for a song that she called ‘Front Porch of Paradise’. She had started the song with another attendee there, Susan Anderegg, as they were paired up to co-write together at the workshop.”
He continued, “When they told me the title, I knew EXACTLY where they were coming from and I grabbed my guitar, as they were struggling a little on a melody. We worked on it together until we loved it. Luckily, when I pitched the song to Kristy for her most recent album, it also reminded her of her childhood growing up just outside of her hometown of Adelaide, South Australia. I’m so happy she loved it, because she sings the song with such beautiful conviction and has made it her own.”
Kristy Cox shared, “I loved ‘Front Porch of Paradise’ the first time I heard it. I grew up on the outskirts of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia, and have always felt more at home in the country. This song is one of those that I feel I could have written about myself, it was so easy for me to relate to it. I love the melody and the lyrics and am so thankful that Jerry, Marcy, and Susan let me record their song.”
