    Parker McCollum (fan hopes for Never Enough) OC: …of this one. :39
    “You know, if I could have any of my fans take anything from this record, it would just be that he’s still doing the same thing. He’s still just a kid writing songs at heart, and it’s really – it’s really an honest record. It’s pretty vulnerable at times, and I hope they just believe it. After they listen to it, I hope they believe it and…take to it like they have my other records. So, I get kind of nervous when I put out albums because I just want to deliver, and I want them to be happy. I want them to listen. The fans that have been there since day one, they deserve great songs and a great record, and I hope they think that of this one.”

    Parker is also currently celebrating his third No. 1 single “Handle On You” this week.

  • PARKER McCOLLUM SCORES THIRD NO. 1 SINGLE, “HANDLE ON YOU.”

    Parker McCollum has hit the top of the Country Aircheck/Mediabase country chart with his latest smash, “Handle On You.” He co-wrote the gold-certified single with Monty Criswell, and it’s the follow-up to his prior #1 hits — his multi-Platinum debut “Pretty Heart” and Platinum “To Be Loved By You.” “Handle On You” is the lead single from his highly anticipated forthcoming album, Never Enough, out Friday (May 12th).

     

    Parker filmed the video for “Handle On You” back at his family’s ranch in East Texas. While it was a long day of filming, he was able to have fun with the video.

    “I’ve done like three music videos out there,” he says. “Any time they’re like they want to film some content of you, I’m like boom, this is an excuse to go to the ranch. If I’m doing a music video it’s an excuse to drive one of my cars, which I really – music videos are kind of a brutal process, they’re pretty boring and they are long days, and so if you can throw in just ripping your Corvette around for an hour or two, it makes it pretty fun. So, I thought the video spoke really well to the song.”

    Directed by Jim Wright, the beautifully shot video gives insight into the push and pull of balancing a career that you love but takes you away from home and the people closest to you – striking a middle ground with humble perspective.

    “Everybody that wanted to do or pitch a treatment for a music video for ‘Handle On You’ wanted to do it in a bar, and I just said, ‘Man, that’s not my life in a bar anymore. My life is complete chaos 100 miles an hour and then absolute dead silence, and it’s back and forth from one extreme to the other at all times.’ I thought we did a pretty good job in the video kind of showing that,” says Parker.

    The Texas native is following up his breakout major label debut, Gold Chain Cowboy, with his forthcoming studio album, Never Enough, out Friday (May 12th).

    Parker McCollum (Handle On You video) OC: …showing that. :56 “That was a crazy, crazy long day, but it turned out so good and I got to rip my Corvette for like an hour and a half at our ranch just on the road our ranch is on in East Texas, which is beautiful out there. Any excuse. I’ve done like three music videos out there Any time they’re like they want to film some content of you, I’m like boom, this is an excuse to go to the ranch.

  • THE WRITING SESSION FOR PARKER McCOLLUM’S “HANDLE ON YOU” STARTED WITH JUST THE TITLE.

    Parker McCollum is closing in on the top of the country chart with his latest smash “Handle On You.” He co-wrote the gold-certified song with his buddy Monty Criswell, and he said he loves collaborating with the hit songwriter.

    “You know, he had a title ‘Handle On You’ and I don’t like titles. I usually tell them to put their titles away and write from the heart and write something that makes me feel something,” recalls Parker. “But he had the title ‘Handle On You,’ and I just kind of thought it was clever. He kind of caught me on the right day with that one and I said ‘Man, let’s write it.’ It’s kind of an old school country vibe.  So, I just started picking on this melody on my guitar and he really dug it and kind of started that first verse. And he was really the one that kind of started the Tennessee or Kentucky thing and it just kind of went from there.  It’s such a pleasure writing with him. He’s got a crazy talent for writing with an artist and letting them kind of take the lead and write to them, which is really cool.”

    “Handle On You” is from his upcoming album, Never Enough, available May 12th.

  • PARKER MCCOLLUM RELEASES “TAILS I LOSE” FROM UPCOMING ALBUM, NEVER ENOUGH.

    With his new album, Never Enough, set to release May 12th, Parker McCollum is sharing another look at the forthcoming project with the track “Tails I Lose,” which dropped Friday (April 14th). Written by McCollum with Wade Bowen, Brad Warren and Brett Warren, the song hearkens back to country’s classic hits with steel guitar, emotive storytelling, and a timeless turn of phrase delivered with McCollum’s signature vocal conviction.

     

    “We hadn’t heard the phrase ‘heads you win, tails I lose’ in a country song before, so we started writing that idea over a melody and dropping all kinds of imagery about breakups,” shares McCollum. “When we got in the studio, Rob McNelley played that guitar sound and I was like, ‘That’s it.’ The guitar lick is so good, it sets the song up and does it justice. This song is just hardcore country. I love it and hope the fans do too.”

     

    Never Enough, the highly anticipated follow-up to McCollum’s breakout major label debut, Gold Chain Cowboy, is available to pre-order now. Parker also joins an elite group of all-genre stars chosen for Spotify’s new mobile feature, Countdown Pages – a destination for fans to pre-save, watch exclusive video Clips, and see a timer count down to release day. The album’s lead single “Handle On You,” shoot-it-straight confession “Stoned,” and previous releases “I Ain’t Going Nowhere” and “Speed,” are featured on Never Enough (produced by Jon Randall), as McCollum teams up with some of the most esteemed songwriters from Texas to Music Row.

    Parker McCollum (Tails I Lose) OC: …stands out. :41
    “’Tails I Lose,’ sad country song, which are my favorite songs. The Warren Brothers and Wade Bowen were over at my house, and I don’t remember who had the title but ‘Heads I Win, Tails I Lose,’ I was like I’ve never heard that in a country song somehow, so I want to write that before someone else does. And it was a melody I had been messing around with at the house a little bit, and they had come over and I had some other stuff written to it. It wasn’t very good. And I said ‘Man, this melody would fit the ‘Tails I Lose’ really well.’ That was a fun day writing that song because it’s like an old jukebox, sad, country love song but you can almost hear it before you write it.  And it just turned out so well and it’s got its own identity on the record. It kind of stands out.”
