Be Country With Me
Check out the latest release from Meghan Patrick's debut album Grace & Grit "Be Country With Me"
In addition to her new single, Meghan Patrick has also been nominated for an astounding 7 Country Music Association of Ontario awards, leading the pack in nominations for the year. The nominations include nods for Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Music Video of the Year, as well as nominations in both the Rising Star Award and Fan’s Choice categories. These mark the first time Meghan has been nominated for CMAO awards.
Coming off her first top ten hit at radio "Still Loving You (feat. Joe Nichols)" Meghan is here strong with her latest release "Be Country With Me". With background vocals and guitar from Vince Gill, who also produced the track with Justin Niebank (Blake Shelton, Keith Urban), it is sure to be a great summer hit!
Of the single, Meghan says “When I wrote this song with Bruce Wallace and Lila McCann, I was talking about what my idea of romance was in my hometown out in the country. They laughed and said "well that sounds awesome, I think just about any guy would want to come 'be country' with you. One of the best parts of this song's story though, is the fact that I had the opportunity to record it at Vince Gill's home studio and have him sing and play on it. That was a real milestone for me and an incredible experience. Justin Niebank and Vince's vision for the production was the last piece of the puzzle to make this song what it is today: my favourite cut on the album."
Meghan Patrick’s debut single, "Bow Chicka Wow Wow", set a record for most first week adds for a debut single by a female Canadian at Country Radio, and reached the Top 20. The accompanying video also peaked inside the Top 20 as a Heavy rotation mainstay on CMT. “Bow Chicka Wow Wow” garnered Meghan's first CCMA nomination in the “Songwriter of the Year” category.
The album's second single and title track “Grace & Grit,” has the distinction of being the third highest charting single by a female Canadian Country artist this year, reaching #12. “Bow Chicka Wow Wow” and “Grace & Grit” combined have surpassed 20,000 spins on Canadian radio.
Meghan’s debut album, Grace & Grit, debuted at #2 on the SoundScan Top Country Albums Chart and Top 15 on both the Top Albums and Digital albums charts.
To make this album, Meghan travelled to a number of studios in Canada and America, including the capital city of country music, Nashville. To go with her great work with Vince Gill and Justin Niebank, she has also worked with producers like fellow Canadians Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, Chris Baseford (Nickelback, Avril Lavigne) and Carly McKillip (One More Girl). To add even more star power to her debut Meghan brought in a few more big names, including multiple CCMA award winners Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Gord Bamford and Patricia Conroy. Additionally, Niebank, who is one of Nashville’s most sought-after Producer/Engineer/Mixers mixed the entire album.
