With the NFL preseason beginning and college football games taking place, Billy Currington’s latest single, “Drinking Town with a Football Problem” is the perfect soundtrack. The Georgia native has always been a football fan, even dating back to when he was a kid and was a big Dallas Cowboys fan.

“I’m a big football fan. I mean, when I was growing up, if you asked me who my favorite team is now, I couldn’t tell you,” says Billy. “But when I was a kid, it was the Dallas Cowboys. And I don’t know if it was because my mom bought my brother a Pittsburgh Steelers pennant for some reason, and bought me a Dallas Cowboys pennant, and of course over the year I fell in love with the Cowboys, and then I wanted a jersey the next Christmas, and then the next one, I wanted [more Cowboys stuff]. So, I became a long-term fan with those guys. But I like it all now that I’m older. I’ll watch any game, it doesn’t matter who’s playing.”

“Drinking Town With a Football Problem” is from Billy’s latest album, Summer Forever.

You can catch Billy performing his latest hit on the road with Tim McGraw’s Shotgun Rider Tour. The next stop on the tour is Friday (August 14th) in Birmingham, Alabama.

Billy Currington just released his latest single, “Drinkin’ Town With a Football Problem.” The tune was written by the family group, The Henningsens, who have the same manager as Billy, and thought it would be a great song for the Georgia native.

“My manager sent it to me. He was like, ‘Hey man, I’m managing this group and they wrote this song, but they’re not going to record it, and they wanted to send it to you,’” says Billy. “So, I pressed play, and my first thought with this song was like, ‘Wow! This song could for sure be in a commercial for the NFL.’ I mean it’s so perfect. I could hear it playing at stadiums during football games, and I can’t say enough about how happy the song is and how happy it made me feel, when I was recording it and when I was listening to the demo of it.”

“Drinkin’ Town With a Football Problem” is the follow-up to Billy’s 10th No. 1, “Don’t It,” from his new album, Summer Forever.

Billy is currently on the road with Tim McGraw on his Shotgun Rider Tour, which makes its next stop Friday (June 12th) in Mansfield, Massachussetts.

Billy Currington performs his 10th No. 1 single, “Don’t It,” on NBC’s Today Show on Tuesday (June 2nd), the same day his Summer Forever album is released.

Billy Currington‘s new album, Summer Forever, is now available (Tuesday, June 2nd). Billy’s sixth studio album features his 10th No. 1 single, “Don’t It,” as well as his new single, “Drinkin’ Town With a Football Problem.”

Billy worked with producer Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts) on the 12-song collection, continuing their working relationship which began with his last album, We Are Tonight. The album also includes the heartfelt “It Don’t Hurt Like It Used To,” which the Georgia native co-wrote with Cary Barlowe and Shy Carter.

He titled the album after one the songs featured on the record, “partly because it’s my life – summer and sunshine, beach, ocean and all that – and I think some of the songs on the album reflect that, and it just felt like a great title.”

Billy will be playing some of the songs from his new album when he hits the road on Tim McGraw‘s Shotgun Rider Tour, which kicks off Friday, June 4th in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Billy Currington is getting ready to release his new album, Summer Forever, featuring his current No. 1 single, “Don’t It.” So, we found out what he really thinks about summer.

“The thing I like most about summer is being warm,” he laughs. “I’m a big fan of not being cold. I grew up in the warmth. I grew up in the sunshine most of the year. We probably had one month of some cool weather down in South Georgia. So, every time summer comes, I think beach, I think lakes, whatever, just being outside.”

When summer came around when Billy was growing up, you could always find him with a surfboard in hand down near the beach. “That’s basically what I did. I lived and breathed the ocean, fortunately because I lived on it, or close to it, and it works for me,” says Billy. “Everything that it has to offer is everything that I am.”

Summer Forever will be available beginning Tuesday (June 2nd).
