Though Nashville remains the cradle of country, Canada has a pretty long history with it too, taking the styles and sounds of its Southern neighbors and applying its own rustic, regional spin. Honky-tonk, outlaw ballads, beat-driven pop crossovers—these songs represent a cross-section of Canada’s best modern country. This week, up-and-comer Dawson Gray drops the ’90s-tinged new single “Chevy Back,” the title track of his forthcoming debut EP, out September 26. Co-written with fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Jesse Slack, “Chevy Back” is a loose, rowdy kiss-off, with Gray telling an ex-flame he “can live without” their relationship but can’t get by without his beloved truck. Gray tells Apple Music the song was inspired by his real-life dream of owning his own truck, which he finally realized earlier this year. “While driving my Chevy, I felt compelled to write a song about a truck that hadn’t been done before—a very hard task,” he says. “So myself and fellow songwriter Jesse Slack came up with the idea of a guy whose girlfriend leaves him and also takes his truck. Only, in ‘Chevy Back,’ he doesn’t want her back; he just wants his truck.” Listen to it now and add Canada’s Country to your library to stay up on the songs shaping the future of country music.
