"Kenny Rogers passed away on March 20, and I wrote the song that night," David Bellamy says of the inspiration behind "No Country Music for Old Men," which mourns the losses of so many icons. He and his brother had been hoping to keep their Bucket List EP, on which the song appears, on the lighter side, but "[i]t felt like, in addition to the pandemic, there was a cloud over country music at that moment."
Revered international music icons, the Bellamy Brothers, are often celebrated for their trailblazing career as a pop, rock and country crossover duo. Today, global superstars and Big Machine Records recording artists, Tim McGraw and Midland, are tipping their hats to the Bellamys with a re-recording of the Bellamys' No. 1 smash, "Redneck Girl," available HERE.
The Bellamy's are real-life brothers, Howard and David, and began this journey in country music in the 70s but that hasn't slowed them down. Their most recent project, Bucket List, debuted in 2020 with the single 'Rednecks(Lookin' for Paychecks)', a timely take on the current situation leading off as the first release from this EP. Also included is a collaboration with John Anderson (Also included on Blake's Tour), 'No Country Music for Old Men', a song that was inspired by the loss of Kenny Rogers, whose memorial service came last week, 2 years after his passing.
