Alex Miller walks the line between traditional and contemporary Country with “She Makes Dirt Look Good,” his upbeat new single that lands at radio today via PlayMPE.
Fiddle and steel guitar kick off this quirky love song and offer up an ode to the glories of farms, overalls, four-wheelers, and a beautiful down-to-earth woman. A wide-open production conjures a sense of freedom and spaces, while the tempo keeps things kickin’ like a calf in a field. As bracing as a cool dip on a hot day, “She Makes Dirt Look Good” will shake off your summer doldrums and have you running for the dance floor.
She makes dirt look good, it’s the strangest thing
She makes a tractor ride like a Cadillac,
And homemade wine taste like champagne
She’s so hot, she makes me look cool
And every time I’m with her, my chest gets a little bigger
I look a whole lot taller, and my shoulders they get broader
She makes this old farm feel like Hollywood
She makes dirt look good (K. Phillips/P. O’Donnell/D. Drake)
The track was written by hitmakers Kerry Kurt Phillips (Craig Morgan, Tim McGraw), Phil O’Donnell (George Strait, Chris Janson) and Dusty Drake (former Warner Brothers Nashville recording artist). It is the second single release from Alex’s five-song EP, MY DADDY’S DAD, produced by Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records.
For Miller, the new single is a shout out to country folks everywhere. “I love it,” Alex admits. “I really wanted to give a nod to all my fellow 4-H and FFA buddies out there, and I figured if Kenny Chesney could make tractors sound sexy, then I could do the same with dirt.” Miller recently wrapped filming a companion music video for the track and is looking forward to its upcoming release once editing is complete.
It’s been a wild summer for the young entertainer, who kept busy performing across the country at Fairs, Festivals and a range of venues where he opened shows for Justin Moore, Ian Munsick, Emily Ann Roberts, Neal McCoy, Tracy Byrd, and Alabama. “I love the road,” Miller notes. “We’re just back from a 14-day swing across Idaho, Oregon and Washington state and that was a blast. But, it’s always good to be back home.”
Key upcoming dates include:
Oct 8 – RFD -TV
Nov 13-15 – Louisville, KY – North American International Livestock Expo
Nov 16 – Tulsa, OK – Hard Rock Casino
Nov 18-19 – Louisville, KY – North American International Livestock Expo
With “Dirt” hitting the airwaves, Miller is counting his blessings. His debut on the Grand Ole Opry in June was the achievement of a lifetime, and a memory he will always cherish. Since moving to Nashville in May, Alex maintains a heavy songwriting schedule when he is not on the road.
