BILLY CURRINGTON IS HAPPY TO HAVE A ‘FOOTBALL PROBLEM.’

BILLY CURRINGTON IS HAPPY TO HAVE A ‘FOOTBALL PROBLEM.’
Artist
Billy Currington

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.
