NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 6, 2024) - With “a multitude of accolades under his musician belt,” (Aol) Chancey Williams is back with his latest single, “Adiós” - available today on all digital platforms. An infectious and uplifting track that delivers a comforting, playful message about moving on and not looking back (accompanied by a drink in-hand), the tune is chock-full of word play and is poised to be a standout celebration anthem for those who thought they’d never get over the past. Continuing “to wrap his pleasant baritone around a slate of honky tonk songs” (Billboard), Williams rewrites the narrative, willing a positive take opposing classic heartbreak country tracks. “Well, I’m good with goodbye. As long as it comes with a bottle, a little salt and lime,” sings the soon-to-be Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall-of-Fame inductee.
My friend and fellow Wyoming boy, Josh Dorr, wrote ‘Adios,’” said Williams of the outside cut. “I liked it the first time I heard Josh’s rough version of it. I played it for my buddy Brice Long, who is producing a bunch of my most recent stuff, and he was all about it, loved the song. Brice has written a lot of hit songs and knows a good song when hears it, so we were both just really excited about this one.”
“Adiós” follows the May release of “the honky tonk anthem of the year,” (All Country News), “One Bad Mutha Buckaroo,” which gave listeners a light-hearted view into the life of a good-time Charley - the guy that lives off whiskey and late nights, then finds comfort in the bed of his truck alongside his blue-eyed border collie pup. With a growing catalog of streaming hits, Williams continues to make waves in the country music scene.
Last year, Williams released his sixth studio album, One of These Days, to rave reviews by People, Billboard, Taste of Country, Whiskey Riff, Holler, Saving Country Music and more, with Whiskey Riff declaring Williams “the real deal” and “a damn good songwriter.” He also notched several performance “firsts” in 2023, including a debut at the prestigious Grand Ole Opry (April - he was invited to take the Opry stage again in September), a spot on the Dr. Pepper Amp Stage during Nashville’s CMA Music Festival (June), and a rigorous tour schedule that included headlining dates and regular opening spots for artists like Parker McCollum and Ian Munsick. In December, Williams opened a performance at the National Finals Rodeo for the fifth time and performed at “The Chelsea,” the flashy 3200-seat venue at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas.
