| Coyle Girelli & Mac Davis’ Collaborative Album Set For August 22nd Release “Everyone But Me And You,” Features Cassandra Lewis Out Today Stream the track here, and pre-order the album here July 11, 2025 — When watching a performance video of vocalist Coyle Girelli, the late songwriter Mac Davis believed that Girelli could be the next Roy Orbison. Davis should know, having worked with some of the best musicians of his era, including Orbison, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. Now Girelli is set to release album Out of This Town, on August 29th via Sun Records. The latest single, “Everyone But Me and You,” features the Americana singer-songwriter Cassandra Lewis. Written solely by Davis, the track was previously released in 1994 as a duet with his longtime friend Dolly Parton on his album Will Write Songs for Food. The song conjures up the lovelorn ballads from the 1950s, with its moody guitar, lush strings, and mournful pedal steel.

It lives in that cinematic, symphonic country universe I love,” said Lewis. “I heard echoes of Roy Orbison and Nancy Sinatra. As a huge fan of Dolly and the timeless style Sun Records continues to champion, I felt honoured to put my own little cosmic flair on it. We really wanted to capture that haunted, desperate feeling you get when you don’t know if someone else feels the same way you do — that lonely, hopeful liminal space. It was a smooth, collaborative process, working with Coyle and our engineer. I love that he’s preserving these styles and bringing that history forward.” The 12-track album includes duets with KT Tunstall, Jaime Wyatt, and Cassandra Lewis and will be available on vinyl, CD, and via all streaming services. The songs on Out of This Town have sat dormant for over a decade, from when Girelli and Davis first met in Los Angeles. They’ve remained as beautiful ghost demos of what could have been. Girelli, who also produced the record, remained faithful to the raw allure of the initial song sketches. “Mac reminded me of how instinctive songwriting should be,” he said. “We sat down with a couple of cups of coffee and a bunch of guitars and wrote our first song together within an hour of being introduced. You could hear that on the demos—they had a rough feeling to very big songs. We wanted to preserve that on this album.” Davis saw a kindred spirit in Girelli, and the two shared natural personal and musical connections. Out of This Town features several songs from Davis’ personal backlog rescued from a bag full of his handwritten lyrics on yellow legal pads. The rest of the album—more than half of the songs—were co-written by Davis and Girelli. Davis died in 2020, before they could complete this body of work together. Their pedigrees and journeys in the music industry could not be more different, but what brought them together is a singular commitment to the sanctity of the song. About Coyle Girelli:
