On paper, Aaron Lewis may seem like an unlikely candidate to pair up with country legends George Jones and Charlie Daniels, and country prodigy Chris Young. But the Massachusetts native, and frontman of the rock band Staind, proudly displays his allegiance to country music on his new single, aptly titled 'Country Boy.'
"Country was the background music to my childhood," Aaron says. "My grandfather listened to Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Hank Williams, Jr. and all of the greats. When Staind did our first tour with Kid Rock in 1999, I rode the bus with him on a couple occasions and we bonded over this music. I haven't been able to let go of it since then."
The track, written solely by Aaron, is featured on his five-song EP 'Town Line,' set for release on March 1. The project is his first foray into country music.
