With her new single Country Boy, Haylie Davis leans into the warm glow of cosmic Americana, blending California folk-pop with the aching restlessness of those who leave small towns behind. The ballad unfurls like a postcard from the edge of the Pacific, capturing the quiet heartbreak of outsiders trying to find themselves on the shimmering streets of Los Angeles. Recorded live in one take, her voice glides between Laurel Canyon softness and steel-lined sorrow, honoring the dreamers who traded endless fields for endless freeways. The official music video heightens the nostalgia, placing her storytelling against a tender, sun-bleached backdrop that mirrors the song’s soft ache.

Davis dedicates the song to the country boys who left the Midwest and the South searching for something bigger, framing their journey with imagery that feels classic yet deeply personal. Her songwriting lands with a wistful sting, glowing with the timeless touch of Linda Ronstadt’s Silk Purse and the sort of storytelling that makes everyday lives feel like folklore. As Haylie prepares her Fire Records debut album for 2026, this track arrives as a mature companion to Golden Age, grounding her bright, airy vocals in richer textures and emotional depth. With early acclaim, a growing creative community, and a voice that nestles somewhere between Judy Collins, Carole King, and Emmylou Harris for a new generation, Haylie Davis is shaping a spellbinding lane of her own. Stream the single and watch the "Country Boy" visual, and drift into her world.
