Tennessee Whiskey
Cover 2023

On a whole new dance vibe for 2023

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“Quit Your Day Job and Sing” Annie Lennox to Christina LaRocca
LAS VEGAS, NV – June 21, 2023 –

 

From her chance audience with Annie Lennox, to her audition at The Voice, industry insiders in a notoriously cutthroat music industry have long known one thing:

Christina LaRocca is one of LA's secret gems.

 

It took a few years, but that’s because Christina wanted to come flying

out the gates with a song no one would forget. And she did that by completely
reimagining the ballad you thought you knew. But when she came to international
touring sensation KnowleDJ with her idea to make a dance cover of a country
classic, he thought she was crazy. And as a guy that’s toured with the Backstreet
Boys, Ariana Grande, and Mariah Carey, he’s learned what crowds love- and
what they don’t. Not only was it way too slow for the house music tempo she
suggested, but the time signature wouldn’t work either. It wasn’t until he heard
her demo over a simple beat, that he was convinced.
By the time they finished making the recording, they knew they had something
special. And even in its first drafts, they weren’t the only ones. Upon listening to
it, it was immediately selected to be the featured song in the recent Stanley Cup
finals win at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Not only that, radio execs from
Canada to the Midwest have praised the song and are anticipating its release.
Even festival organizers re-arranged their lineups to have them perform the song
before the headlining act. Tour dates have been booked solely in anticipation of
its release, including the world’s biggest rodeo, the Calgary Stampede. And fans
who’ve heard snippets have been dying to hear more. If your BS meter is
peaking, it’s okay, we get it. So was everyone else's- before they heard it.


But here’s the rap: The world will not be able to hear it until its release later this
summer. Because that’s the other thing...in a world where everything is digital,
they want fans to experience it live first.
KnowleDJ, hailed one of the most exciting DJs on the planet, has spent his career touring the world with such superstars as the Backstreet Boys (26 shows) Ariana Grande (8 shows) and Mariah Carey (12 shows). He's collaborated with legendary performers from Fatman Scoop to remixing top artists. Aside from touring stadiums worldwide, and doing VIP Parties for the likes of the Weeknd, Rihanna, Jay-Z & Beyonce over the years, his infectious mixes have been heard by millions, and his live sets have become legendary from concert arenas like O2 London, Accor Paris, Ziggodome Amsterdam in Europe to mega-clubs in Las Vegas such as Marquee, and Tao Nightclub.


Performing hundreds of shows a year internationally, musician, DJ and Los
Angeles based artist Christina LaRocca has garnered acclaim and adoration
from fans worldwide. She has been seen sharing the stage with artists like
Rachel Platten, Bailen, Green Day, among many others and has performed at
festivals such as SXSW, CMJ, and Echo Park Rising Festival. She is also a
voting member of the Recording Academy for her dynamic performances and
magnetic stage presence making her a sought-after performer. Regardless of
genre, her voice transcends the labels that the music industry typically places on
artists.

Tennessee Whiskey
The Evolution of a Country Classic

Chris Stapleton 2015

George Jones 1983

David Allan Coe 1981

Tennessee Whiskey, an iconic song that has stood the test of time, is not just a melody but a representation of cultural and musical evolution. Originally recorded by David Allan Coe in 1981 and later popularized by George Jones and Chris Stapleton, this soulful track has captivated the hearts of countless music enthusiasts. In this article, we'll delve into the rich history and transformation of Tennessee Whiskey, exploring its origins, evolution, and the artists who contributed to its enduring legacy.

Origins and Early Days
The story of Tennessee Whiskey begins in 1981 when singer-songwriter David Allan Coe released the track as part of his album "Tennessee Whiskey." Although the song garnered moderate attention, it wasn't until a few years later that it gained significant recognition when a country music legend decided to put his own spin on it.

George Jones: A Defining Rendition
In 1983, George Jones, often referred to as "The Possum," released his version of Tennessee Whiskey. Jones' smooth, emotive vocals breathed new life into the song, taking it to heights that Coe's original recording couldn't achieve. Jones' rendition struck a chord with fans worldwide, cementing Tennessee Whiskey as a classic in country music's canon.

Cultural Impact and Legacy
Tennessee Whiskey quickly became an anthem, not just for country music enthusiasts but for those seeking timeless love ballads with a soulful twist. The song's simple yet profound lyrics, combined with the raw, heartfelt delivery by George Jones, resonated with audiences of all ages, transcending boundaries and generations.

Revival and Reinvention by Chris Stapleton
While George Jones' version solidified Tennessee Whiskey's legacy, it experienced a resurgence in popularity decades later, thanks to the extraordinary talent of Chris Stapleton. In 2015, during the 49th Annual Country Music Association Awards, Stapleton, accompanied by Justin Timberlake, delivered a mesmerizing performance that left the audience in awe. This breathtaking rendition breathed new life into the song and sparked a renewed interest in its origins.

Cross-Genre Appeal
One of the key reasons for Tennessee Whiskey's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transcend genres. Although originally rooted in country music, Stapleton's rendition demonstrated that the song's emotional depth and musical prowess can resonate with audiences beyond the country genre, appealing to fans of blues, soul, and even rock.

Streaming and Digital Era
In the age of streaming and digital music platforms, Tennessee Whiskey's accessibility has reached unprecedented heights. The song has amassed millions of streams across various platforms, introducing the classic to younger generations who may not have encountered it through traditional media.

Tennessee Whiskey's evolution from its early days as a David Allan Coe composition to its timeless renditions by George Jones and Chris Stapleton represents the ever-changing landscape of music and culture. Its ability to connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level has solidified its status as a classic. As long as there are music lovers who appreciate heartfelt storytelling and soulful melodies, Tennessee Whiskey will continue to be celebrated and cherished for generations to come.
