ERNEST is one of the most respected names in today’s booming mainstream country music scene. He has written songs for Florida Georgia Line and Sam Hunt, teamed up with Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll and opened for Morgan Wallen.

Yet, despite the respect of his country brethren, a prime slot on the recent Stagecoach Festival bill and legions of adoring fans, it seems like ERNEST, for whatever reason, hasn’t quite joined buddies Wallen, HARDY and Jelly Roll atop the modern-day country scene.) dropped less than five years ago, and his first single didn’t chart on country radio until 2022. Yeah, about that…

Nowadays, ERNEST is back on the charts, this one a Wallen track with the former as the featured artist. “Cowgirls,” co-written by ERNEST, has everything the modern-day country audience wants. Great hook. Fun vibes. Hip-hop infusion. And while it charted in the top 10, “Cowgirls” , hasn’t quite reached such heights. This defies explanation, given the appetite and tastes of today’s collective country audience.) dropped last month and boasts any number of potential hit singles.

Not that ERNEST really needs the help. He’s made a plenty nice living, and could no doubt continue doing so, writing for some of the biggest names in the industry. He’s a road warrior who has paid his dues and will always play before loyal crowds on the touring circuit. And you’d be hard-pressed to find a more respected figure in today’s Nashville scene.But good music deserves to be heard, and few in today’s country canon produce at a higher rate than ERNEST. Those who know, already know.
