NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tri Hymn Records indie recording artist Michael Hosier has announced the scheduled release of his new studio recording titled “Take Our Country Back.”* Co-written by Hosier alongside Tom Yankton and Jimmy Ritchey, and produced by Ritchey (Jake Owen/Mark Chesnutt/ Clay Walker), the single will be available Friday, April 19, 2024 (aligning with Patriot’s Day) via all major digital retail and streaming outlets; with the presale/pre-save event beginning April 5. (Distribution by OneRPM.)
Marking the Arkansas native’s debut in the country music arena, and the first of strong standing, prideful tunes slated to roll-out as an introduction to Michael Hosier’s 2024 waterfall series, “Take Our Country Back” portrays the present day battle between political forces and the prophecies of the Bible, and serves as a “rebel yell” to all who believe in “liberty and justice under God.”
The recording resounds with traditional familiarity in melody, instrumentation and arrangement to make space wide open for Hosier’s deep, home-hitting vocal performance and forthright delivery. Lyrics referencing biblical motifs such as “the days of Noah,” supported by intricate harmonies in the chorus, emphasize Hosier’s call to arms; while descending guitar riffs throughout command attention to enliven the performer’s stance on current social and political shortcomings, and make evident Hosier’s faith in God and American pride.
AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH
THIS WORLD IS FULL OF SIN
BUT AS IT HAS BEEN PROPHESIED
OUR SIDE IS GONNA WIN
I ASK THAT YOU STAND BY ME
LETS GET IT BACK ON TRACK
OUR STRENGTH IT WILL NOT LACK
WE’LL ASK OUR GOD TO COME
AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK
“I wanted to write a song that stands up…to what I believe in, and what I believe most Americans believe in. …and to recall the meaning of the cross and our flag,” said Michael Hosier. "I stand strong in my faith, freedom, family and friends; ‘Take Our Country Back’ is God-inspired and patriotic, and mirrors my convictions.”
“Straight out of Arkansas, Michael’s voice ain’t just big; it’s a downright holler from the heartland,” added co-writer/producer Jimmy Ritchey. “Michael’s soul resonates in his music.”
The new single, “Take Our Country Back,” follows Hosier’s recording of “Old Rugged Cross” (slated to drop March 29, 2024), and serves as the official launch, and introduction to, his 2024 waterfall series that will include the original tune, “God, Family And Country, and Hosier’s rendition of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.”
