Bear Bailey shared the second installment of his new Gas Station Sessions series on Thursday, May 5.
The fast-rising country star, who first went viral singing covers in a Louisiana gas station on TikTok, returned to a local gas station to perform a cover of Morgan Wallen’s “Sand In My Boots.”
Joined by guitarist Seth Michael, Bailey sings the chart-topping Wallen hit, which appears on the East Tennessee native’s record-breaking sophomore project, Dangerous: The Double Album.
Watch his performance below.
He kicked off the series with a cover of the Rascal Flatts’ hit, “Prayin’ For Daylight.” The song, which was co-written by Steve Bogard and Rick Giles, was released in 2000 as Flatts’ debut single from their self-titled debut album.
On Tuesday, May 3, the country crooner unveiled the exciting news that he signed with Play It Again Entertainment, the label division of Dallas Davidson’s PIA Music Group (PIA), which is home to artists such as Walker Montgomery and Dylan Marlowe.
In addition to signing a record deal with PIA, Bailey also announced his debut single, “Put Your Heart On My Tab,” a tune that is expected to appear on a larger project in the future.
The fast-rising star shared a teaser of the tune on social media ahead of its release.
“Damn / No one ever seen a face like that / lookin’ so fine and so sad / and I’m sorry but I ain’t the guy who can leave you like that / you need a quarter for a heart broke song / or a double shot of a hundred proof strong / well you can lean on me,” Bailey sings in the clip.
He then belts out the anthemic chorus, “Put your heart on my tab / put your name on my lips / where I’m sittin’ / underthinkin’ while we’re overdrinkin’ / just might do the trick / so what if you’re all done with love / don’t hold back girl / words of whiskey / lay it on me / whatever you’re gonna have / put your heart on my tab.”
Gas Station Sessions will continue to pay tribute to his hometown, his fans and to the roots of his discovery.
“Put Your Heart On My Tab” is available for preorder now HERE.
