Texas Red Dirt Country singer-songwriter Wade Bowen has released his new single “Burned In The Fire” from his forthcoming album The Version Of Me You Get (September 25/ Thirty Tigers). The fiery anthem mixes heartbreak with attitude and injects a rush of energy into the track listing. Pre-order the album HERE and stream the new single HERE.
“‘Burned In The Fire’ was an older song that I dug back up, which I tend to do when I’m making a record. I like going through the catalog and finding songs that didn’t quite fit before but finally do,” shared Bowen. “This one ended up being a little different for me from start to finish. There’s an anger that happens with it lyrically that I don’t usually use a lot in my songs. I really like when this emotion comes out as it shows a different kind of passion with songwriting.”
Written alongside Sean McConnell, “Burned In The Fire” is a nod to one of Bowen’s favourites, Elvis Presley, with its bluesy-rock influences. The single also showcases a strong, angsty emotion that’s reminiscent of his hit “Resurrection” from Lost Hotel. The correlation is timely, as the singer-songwriter is gearing up to celebrate the milestone 20th anniversary of his career-defining, second studio album this November.
“Burned In The Fire” follows previously released tracks “Turpentine,” “People Like Us” and “Rain,” which became one of his strongest-performing radio singles in recent years, reaching #1 on the Texas Country Music and American Country Music charts and #2 on the CDX Texas chart.
More than 4,000 tour dates into his accomplished career, Bowen continues to bring his signature hits and new releases to fans across the US with a steady stream of tour dates and festivals. On September 23, he’ll take the stage at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, followed by a handful of performances alongside fellow Texas singer-songwriter Koe Wetzel later this year.
