Owens is notable for being one of the few country artists who delivers modern-day sounds while honoring his traditional country roots. Ingrained in the characteristics that launched his career, Owens continues to pay homage to his heroes while remaining true to his trademark style.<\/p>\n<p>Named by Rolling Stone Country as one of the \u201c10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,\u201d and awarded 2018 Music Row Independent Artist of the Year, Owens has been building a strong following for more than a decade. His powerful vocal range combined with the emotional lyrical content of his songs has made him a favorite of fans, critics and fellow artists.<\/p>\n<p>Owens makes traditional country music for the modern world. Timeless and timely, it\u2019s a classic sound with a contemporary edge, driven forward by a mix of Southern storytelling and Owens\u2019 big, booming baritone reflecting his Alabama roots. In many ways, it was a classic American upbringing, centered on family, faith and music. Owens shines a light on those old-school values in his catalog of popular singles.<\/p>\n<p>After starting his career opening shows for dozens of major stars, the baritone performer attracted the attention of Nashville music executives, and he soon landed a record deal. However, with all the changes in the music industry at the time, his album was shelved and never released. Just like the \u2018Never Give Up\u2019 mantra of his lyrics, Owens picked himself up and moved on, thanks to famed producer James Stroud (Tim McGraw, Aaron Lewis, Clint Black), country music legend Randy Travis, who co-executive produced his first album, <em>Where I\u2019m Comin\u2019 From<\/em>, and AmeriMonte Records. Never one to sit still for long, Owens is currently impacting at radio with his latest single \u201cYou Go Good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shane Owens describes how some things just fit perfectly together, whether they\u2019re a likely pair or not. Like how a \u201cSunday needs a sermon,\u201d or as opposite as Hollywood and red clay Georgia, all he knows is \u201cyou go good with me.\u201d Owens\u2019 distinct voice shines on this sweet tune, delivering a perfect country love song. \u201cI\u2019m so excited about the new single \u201cYou Go Good,\u201d shares Owens. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the best songs we\u2019ve ever recorded\u2014great up-tempo summertime tune.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Shane-Owens-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20834\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Shane-Owens-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Shane-Owens-02.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Shane-Owens-02-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Shane-Owens-02-300x420.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>SHANE OWENS <\/strong>Interview<br \/>\nwith\u00a0<em>M Music &amp; Musicians<\/em> magazine publisher, Merlin David<\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What is one main thing you learned about yourself after recording \u201cYou Go Good\u201d?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I learned that I could record something a little more modern, since I am such a traditional country music artist.
