Lee Brice - I Don't Dance

I DON'T DANCE is the 2014 follow-up to Lee Brice's 2012 Gold-selling HARD 2 LOVE, which yielded three #1 singles & the CMA/ACM Song of the Year 'I Drive Your Truck.' This album was recorded in Nashville, with Brice writing ten of the album's thirteen songs, & taking the reigns as producer yet again. 'I wanted to have control over every drumbeat, every lick,' Brice says of his meticulous approach in the studio. 'It was a lot of really sitting down and thinking about every little piece that goes into a song.' the result is a hybrid of fresh country sounds with a touch of digital flair, beats underlying banjos, pulses over top of piano. Brice played every instrument on the summer anthem 'Girls in Bikinis,' building the track from the ground up. 'Sirens' was cut live in the studio with a full band (including Brice on banjo for the first time), & other songs grew out of beats, loops and studio experiments, a nod to his love of artists ranging from Bruno Mars to Eminem. A personal highlight for Brice is the title track, originally written as the song for his own wedding dance with wife Sara. 'An evocative, rough-edged singer with a penchant for songs that celebrate frailty' (NY Times), Brice moved to Nashville to chase his songwriting dreams after playing football for Clemson in his native South Carolina. He wrote for artists such as Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks, whose recording of 'More Than a Memory' launched Brice's stock sky-high. He's toured with Luke Bryan & Braid Paisley and headlined his own House of Blues tour.
