Shelby Lee Lowe Drops High-Energy Country Single 'Honky Tonkaholic'

Country music artist Shelby Lee Lowe is set to release his first single of 2025, 'Honky Tonkaholic,' a high-energy track written by Chris Stapleton and Brett Beavers that promises to reinvigorate the honky-tonk music scene.

The single, dropping on January 31st, 2025, follows Lowe's successful fall release and represents a bold statement in contemporary country music. Featuring epic guitar riffs, thumping bass, fiddle, and steel, the song aims to capture the spirit of outlaw country legends like Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings.

Recorded by Ryan Youman at Amber Sound Studio and produced by Andrew Scott Wills, 'Honky Tonkaholic' embodies Lowe's unique approach to country music. With a background rooted in Tennessee and a music business degree from Middle Tennessee State University, Lowe has been crafting a sound that bridges traditional country with a modern, indie rock-influenced style.

The track represents more than just a musical release; it signifies Lowe's commitment to redefining country music for both traditionalists and younger audiences. By blending Bakersfield grit with neo-traditional elements, Lowe is positioning himself as an artist who can appeal to multiple generations of country music fans.

Since signing his first publishing deal with Banner Music in Nashville in 2016, Lowe has been steadily building his reputation as a full-time songwriter and performer. 'Honky Tonkaholic' could be the breakthrough moment that elevates his career to national prominence.
