Graham Barham is turning heads with “Whiskey Rain,” his new collaboration with Tyler Hubbard.
Written by Barham alongside Jessi Alexander, Sam Martinez, and Cole Miracle, the track captures Barham and Hubbard drowning the pain of heartbreak in whiskey after a failed relationship.
“Let that whiskey rain, rain, rain, rain, rain/ Pour it on the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain/ I just wanna drown in that Tennessee fountain/ Let that liquor kick her right out of my veins/ Pour another round, round, round, round, round/ Doubles comin’ down, down, down, down, down/ Put a hurtin’ on me, wash away the lonely/ Only Jack can burn away her namе Let that whiskey rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,” they sing.
Hubbard recently opened up about how he met Barham and how their friendship eventually led to their collaboration.
“As much as I like the song, I think it’s more about loving Graham and wanting to do something together. I met Graham at a festival and he pulled up driving himself and came and crushed it and played an awesome show, and I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ [I] ended up hanging out with him that night for awhile, and just connecting. We just kept in touch and kind of became buddies and hung out a few more times,” he shared.
“He kind of asked me, he was like, ‘Man, I’d really like for you to be on this project and do a song with me.’ Obviously, I was honored to, and he played me a few songs and ‘Whiskey Rain’ just kind of stood out as a song to me that I was like, ‘Yeah, I could hear us doing this.’ I think this could be really cool,” he continued.“ It’s an awesome song, and it just got me hyped every time I heard it, and I was like, ‘yeah, this will be a fun one.’ So, we just went in and did our thing, and it really felt organic. It felt like our vocals really blended nicely together, and again, Graham’s just a great dude, stand up guy, super talented, kind of knows what he wants and what he’s doing, and I just look at it as an opportunity to learn from a guy who’s crushing it in his lane and doing his thing. It’s been a lot of fun; really enjoyed it.”
The song serves as the title track off Barham’s WHISKEY RAIN EP. Barham co-wrote every track, and his signature “club country” sound is present throughout the project. WHISKEY RAIN was produced by Sam Bergeson with additional production contributions from Sam Martinez, Gabe Foust, Seth Mosley, Mark Holman, 6AM, and Zach Abend.
Barham’s OIL MONEY headlining tour kicks off September 11 in Covington, KY. Several dates have already sold out, prompting some shows to move to larger venues to meet fan demand.
Later this month, Barham is set to perform at the Grand Ole Opry on September 22 alongside Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman, Marcus King, and Priscilla Block, in a benefit for the Judge Dinkins Educational Center and Buddy DeFord Charitable Fund.
