NYCS First Impression: Trea Landon ‘Dirt Road Dancin’ EP

Back in November when we were in Nashville for the CMA Awards during the Warner Music Nashville showcase, we got a little taste of up and coming country artist Trea Landon but now his full EP Dirt Road Dancin’ is here, and we can’t get enough.

This EP takes you on an emotional relationship journey starting from the very beginning. “Get the Girl” is figuring out how to make that first move when that special person you’re into isn’t a fan of flowers or the standard pickup lines. We then move on to the singer-songwriter showcasing the unique way you will feel if you are ever loved by a country boy and why it’s one of the best choices you’ll ever make. Next up is heading out on that first date dancing the night away, ending unfortunately with a breakup with “Wrong Truck.”

Two songs that really stand out are “Dirt Road Dancin’” and “What Feelin’ Good Feels Like.” Written by Landon, Rob Hatch, Justin Wilson, and Blake Bollinger, the title track will have you up and moving as soon as you turn it on. “What Feelin’ Good Feels Like” is the perfect song to turn on when you need a minute to relax. Written by Landon, Danny Myrick, and Bryan West, this track shares the message that it’s okay to take a break from all the noise and take a minute for ourselves.

Dirt Road Dancin’ is Landon’s first Warner Music Nashville EP. The singer-songwriter co-wrote four of the five tracks. In a recent press release, Landon expressed his excitement of showing the listeners who he is, “Dirt Road Dancin’ is a pretty good sample of everything that makes me who I am. It’s everything that makes a country boy, a country boy. Long drives, late nights, field parties, and falling in love. I’m excited for fans to get to know me better and have fun doing it.”

This may be the Georgia native’s first EP produced by a label but he is certainly making a name for himself in the industry. He was recently named a ‘MusicRow’ “Next Big Thing” and one of ‘Sounds Like Nashville’s’ “20 New Country Artists to Watch in 2020.” Recently touring with Riley Green and Jon Langston, building up his fanbase across the country. In just a few days he will be heading on the Down to Earth Tour with Hardy and Cole Swindell. To find out if they are coming to a city near you, check out his website.
