Dillon Carmichael To Release ‘Hot Beer’ EP, Out May 14

/by

Dillon Carmichael is gearing up for the release of his new Hot Beer EP, due out May 14 on Riser House Records.

The six-song collection features tracks penned by standout songwriters including Michael Hardy, Ashley Gorley, Jessi Alexander, David Lee Murphy and others. Carmichael recently shared a first track from the EP, his rendition of Montgomery Gentry’s “Lucky Man.” The song is one that’s close to his heart, not only because it was recorded by his uncle Eddie Montgomery, but also because the pandemic has allowed him to reflect on the many reasons he has to be thankful.

“Lucky Man” follows the Bakersfield-tinged title track “Hot Beer” and TikTok-viral hit “Sawin’ Logs,” both of which showcase Carmichael’s humor and were produced with the help of Jon Pardi. In “Big Truck,” Carmichael questions the motives of his girlfriend’s affection. On the more serious side, “Somewhere She Ain’t” addresses heartbreak, and “Since You’ve Been In It” is a traditional love song. Hot Beer is part one of Carmichael’s new music, and a full LP is due out later this year.
