Jordan Davis has announced that his new EP – Buy Dirt – will be released on the 21st May, with a feature performance by Luke Bryan on the title track.
Jordan Davis has announced that his new EP, Buy Dirt will be released on May 21. Produced by Paul DiGiovanni, Buy Dirt is Davis’ eight-song follow-up to last year’s self-titled EP and his debut album Home State. Davis co-wrote every song on the EP – except the John Prine-inspired “Blow Up Your TV.” As a husband and new father, on this EP Davis finds himself in a different place in his life, and the songs reflect it – innovating his signature country sound further.
“I’ve always loved artists who take risks,” says Davis. “I’m in a different spot in my life than I was when I released Home State. We all are! 2020 was a tough time for everyone. I was able to use that time to recenter some things in my world, and I didn’t want those lessons to go to waste. I wanted to create something special. The best way to that was to write honestly, and we did a lot of that on this record.”
Country superstar Luke Bryan provides vocals on the vulnerable title track. The two musicians first met at an awards show, before bumping into each other on the golf course in the following years. “We sat around the fire after a golf tournament one day, smoking cigars and talking about everything but music,” Davis recalls. “That conversation always stuck with me. Luke isn’t just a great entertainer; he’s a great Dad, a great husband, and a great friend, too. That’s what ‘Buy Dirt’ embodies. When I wrote ‘Buy Dirt,’ I knew he could relate to the song’s message. I took a chance and asked him to join me on the recording, and he said yes.”
