Brennen Leigh

media release: On the heels of her Grand Ole Opry debut announcement, real country artist Brennen Leigh shares a new song, "I'm Still Looking for You." It's the third single from her hotly anticipated new album, Ain't Through Honky Tonkin' Yet, and it's available today on all streaming services via Signature Sounds. The song was inspired by her dog, Bjorn, who she'd found stranded on a roadway, and how she could tell he never quit hoping his owner would come back for him.

Leigh says: "Noel McKay and I wrote it about my dog, Bjorn. We found him on the highway, on the way back from a gig, years ago. He’s a sweet boy. He still looked for the person who threw him out for years after that. He would see a truck go by and he would perk up and try to follow it. I think a trucker had thrown him out on the highway. We found him and kept him. I love him.

"But, I think there’s a deeper meaning to the song; it’s human to expect to be treated the way we were treated before. It’s what’s comfortable; a dog that's been hit expects to be hit, even though he’s lived with a nice family for years.”

Ain’t Through Honky Tonkin’ Yet captures the sound and spirit of Nashville in the 1960s, the "Golden Age of Country Music," and echoes the best of that era, when bluegrass-fueled tunes, torchy honky-tonk ballads and hard-country weepers burst forth from AM transistor radios. The album’s country roots run deep, with Chris Scruggs producing and contributing guitar, guests including Marty Stuart and Rodney Crowell, and a lineup of top-flight musicians. With thoughtful, incisive lyrics and vibrant melodies at the forefront, Leigh has successfully created a modern gem, while honoring country music’s enduring golden era.
