I asked Morgan how he had he narrowed down all the songs he could have cut to the fourteen tracks that are on the album, If I Know Me. “And one of my best friends, Hardy, was a writer on that, so I got to talk a little trash to him about that! But I knew “God’s Country” would probably end up back up there so I didn’t feel too bad for him.” “’God’s Country’ is one of my favorite Blake Shelton songs he’s ever had,” said Morgan. I said that must have been a strange feeling, particularly as Blake had been a Coach when Morgan competed on The Voice. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. I reminded Morgan that “Whiskey Glasses” had knocked Blake Shelton’s “God’s Country” off the No. Although Morgan was ultimately eliminated in the Playoffs, his performance led to a record deal with Big Loud Records and the album If I Know Me. Morgan received national attention when he competed on season 6 of The Voice in 2014 where he joined Team Usher and was later ‘stolen’ by Team Adam Levine.
(L to R): Kevin Kadish, Morgan Wallen, Ben Burgess. The celebration was hosted by ASCAP and BMI.
He and the song’s two writers, Ben Burgess and Kevin Kadish were at the Sutler in Nashville on Monday, July 29 to celebrate the chart-topping success of “Whiskey Glasses.” The song is the third single from Morgan’s debut album, If I Know Me, produced by Joey Moi. “I heard it and we were like, Hell yeah!” said Morgan during the media meeting prior to the presentations. Some songs just hit you right away, and that’s how it was for Morgan Wallen when he heard the demo for “Whiskey Glasses.” Happy heartbreak song written by Ben Burgess and Kevin Kadish honored at No.
