Brandon Davis Revives Traditional Country In A Modern Age On ‘Hearts Don’t Rust’ (Out Now)
Artist-songwriter Brandon Davis was working as a Sprinkler Systems Engineer before a nearly fatal car crash became his wake-up call to pursue a career in music, and his 1.6 million TikTok fans couldn’t be more grateful. Now, his grassroots popularity has led to him selling out venues across the country, being hand-picked for Tim McGraw’s 2022 tour, and releasing his debut album ‘Hearts Don’t Rust,’ out today (4.15) via Big Yellow Dog Music.

Davis, who was raised on Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard thanks to his musician father who once opened for Garth Brooks, co-wrote all of the album’s eight tracks with songwriters like Jason Duke (Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini). ‘Hearts Don’t Rust’ is a revival of the traditional country sound Davis’ was raised on, while acknowledging the modern styles that have grown into the genre.
"Hearts Don’t Rust is a collection of songs that truly define who I am as a songwriter and artist," says Davis. "Each and every song tells a story that I believe people can relate to and sing along with."
Davis’ showcases his knack for slice-of-life storytelling on the album's title track. On “Running Out of Roses,” Davis’ vocals are reminiscent of ‘90s greats like Tracy Lawrence while offering the lyrical wit of modern trailblazers like Luke Combs. “Something’s Better Than Nothing” reminds listeners to have gratitude for everything, while the blue-collar anthem "Somebody’s Gotta Do It” drips with punchy country swagger. Davis’ admires all of his lover’s qualities on "Speaking My Language” and “Hey Baby,” and on “Hits Different,” he reflects on how the right partner can change one’s perspective on every aspect of life. The album wraps with the cheeky “Tequila And Opinions,” a song fit for a bar sing-along.
Davis celebrated the ‘Hearts Don’t Rust’ release with a performance with the album’s co-writers at Assembly Food Hall in Nashville last night (4.14), and he’ll join Tim McGraw’s 2022 Tour starting April 29th at The Walmart Amphitheater in Rogers, AR.
