CHASE RICE SOUNDTRACKS SUMMER WITH “TWO TONE TRIPPIN’“ FEAT. WYATT McCUBBIN, OUT NOW
Windows-Down Anthem Rolls in Just in Time for Fourth of July Weekend
First Preview of New Music Following 2024’s Critically Acclaimed Independent Album “Go Down Singin’“
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Just in time for Independence Day cookouts and back-road getaways, Chase Rice delivered “Two Tone Trippin’” – a jangly, guitar-picking joyride that captures the heart of summer and the spirit of a classic American truck. Featuring fellow singer-songwriter Wyatt McCubbin, the nostalgic new single is available everywhere now as the first preview of new music to come later this year. Listen HERE.
A feel-good celebration of freedom, young love and the timeless charm of a two-tone pickup, “Two Tone Trippin’” takes a well-worn symbol of Country storytelling and revs it up with fresh detail and classic Country flair. Rice and McCubbin – who cowrote the song with producer Oscar Charles – trade verses like old friends swapping stories on the tailgate, with a toe-tapping arrangement and vivid, boots-on-the-dash imagery:
Two tone trippin’
Third gear slippin’
Radiator hotter than a grease fire kitchen
Windshield wishing
Two tone, two tone, two tone trippin’
“Wyatt, Oscar and I were driving around Rollinsville, Colorado, and we kept noticing two-tone trucks everywhere. Oscar finally said, ‘Man, this must be where two-tones go to die.’ Then out of nowhere, he goes, ‘We should write a song called ‘Two Tone Trippin’,’” recalls Rice. “I had just bought a ‘72 two-tone Chevy, so I was all about it. I think we wrote the whole thing in about 45 minutes – no rules, not even a chorus. We just straight up had fun on this one. And everything you hear in the recording – the playing and the singing – was all one take.”
McCubbin – known for penning songs for artists including Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Zach Top, Cody Johnson and more in addition to his own solo career – adds a soulful layer to the track introducing the next chapter in Rice’s career, which promises to further expand his evolution as an artist. More new music is expected later this year, as Rice continues to lean into his roots and the unfiltered storytelling that earned 2024’s independent release Go Down Singin’ widespread critical praise.
American Songwriter celebrated the “introspective authenticity and Rice‘s dedication to change his career narrative from backward ball cap party guy to serious songwriter,” noting that much of the new music “walks the line between traditional Country and Bluegrass,” while Billboard notes it “leans toward rootsier, raw-rock driven sounds, trading party anthems for introspective lyrical themes…. as his voice conveys a crackling warmth of self-reflection and an easy-going comfortableness.”
“Rice’s knack for a good melody is still well intact,” adds Rolling Stone, “but this time it’s used to tell a good story, not fit into a radio algorithm… [Rice] has stopped worrying about where the songs will land, and realized that the best art exists not by trying to get a bloated Number One, nor by trying to adhere to some purist outlaw notion, either. It’s the organic sweet spot in the middle.”

ABOUT CHASE RICE:
With more than 2.6 million albums sold and over 2.8 billion total streams – plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe – Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. His independent album Go Down Singin’ is available everywhere now following critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, with both brought together on the songwriter-forward Fireside Sessions. Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life – from emotional reckoning to time spent traveling solo in his Airstream across the American West. This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited.
The new music builds on the success of his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and the Platinum top 10 single “Lonely If You Are.” His breakthrough came with Lambs & Lions, featuring the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. That project followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, spawning a pair of Top 5 hits; Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll” and Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours across the U.S. and abroad, with the Go Down Singin’ International Tour underway now.
ABOUT WYATT McCUBBIN:
Ohio native Wyatt McCubbin is making a name for himself as a revered young artist and songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee. He first planted his roots in Country music as a teen radio DJ at classic Country station Real Roots Radio, broadcast across Ohio. McCubbin began making regular trips to Nashville when he was 14, seeking out other songwriters and, in turn, gaining support from some of Nashville’s top hitmakers before officially making the move to Music City. McCubbin’s Country, Blues and Soul-fused voice embraces classic tones while incorporating modern elements for a sound all his own. An esteemed songwriter at his core, McCubbin’s credits include Zach Top’s “Sounds Like The Radio” and “Good Times & Tan Lines,” Cody Johnson’s “That’s Texas,” Luke Combs’ “Ride Around Heaven,” Lainey Wilson’s “Keep Up With Jones” and “Whiskey Colored Crayon,” along with cuts by Riley Green and Dustin Lynch. In 2021, McCubbin signed a joint publishing deal with Ashley Gorley’s Tape Room Music and Jonathan Singleton and Luke Combs’ 50 Egg Music, marking a first-ever collaboration between the houses. McCubbin has earned his chops on the road, too, opening for Merle Haggard, George Jones, Charlie Daniels and Hank Williams Jr., to most recently Lainey Wilson, Midland, Kameron Marlowe, Dierks Bentley, Chase Rice, and 2025’s Riley Green and Ella Langley Damn Country Music Tour.
