CASHBOX Music News: Skip Ewing "Me & God And A Fishing Pole"

A natural born storyteller, Skip Ewing’s signature gift for vivid songcraft and true-to-life human connection made him a chart-topping star at the turn of the 1990s with six top 20 hits including the top 5 country classics “Burnin’a Hole in My Heart” and “It’s You Again.” Along with his own solo successes, Ewing is one of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters, with eleven No. 1 songwriting credits including Randy Travis’ “If I Didn’t Have You” and NSAI "Song of the Year“ Something That We Do” from Clint Black. With songs recorded by country superstars such as ERNEST and Lainey Wilson (2024’s “Would If I Could"), Keith Urban, George Strait, Zac Brown Band, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, and Shania Twain, he’s earned countless honors and accolades including a prestigious CMA Triple Play Award and BMI Songwriter of the Year Award as well as multiple ACM, BMI, CMA, GRAMMY®, NSAI and Songwriter Hall of Fame nominations. Ewing’s ceaseless quest for personal growth led him to step away from the bright lights of Nashville for the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, where he devoted himself to his love of nature and horsemanship while caretaking on a ranch outside Yellowstone National Park. As his spirit rejuvenated, Ewing eventually picked up his guitar and returned to creating and performing country music that chronicled the tale of his ongoing human journey, captured on such well-received albums as 2020’s Wyoming, 2021’s Christmas, and 2024’s Road to California, all of which continue to garner critical and popular acclaim. Ewing’s eagerly awaited new album DRAGONFLY now sees the veteran artist bringing his extraordinary life experiences and philosophical temperament to bear on such essential new songs as his latest radio hit, “I Want It All,” and “Say Yes,” a classic country take on the romantic moment—asking for someone’s forever love, along with “Stronger Where You’re Broken” featuring rising country star Mae Estes, an upbeat and encouraging love song which tells of the transformative power of a mending heart.
