Morgan Wallen to Release Country Remix of “Last Night”
Riding high on the success of his massive pop/R&B hit “Last Night,” country superstar Morgan Wallen has announced plans to follow that up in coming weeks with a country remix, or re-imagining to be exact, of the crossover smash.
The tune, which has received massive country airplay despite being released to pop radio, will receive quite a makeover for this incarnation. Instead of the jaunty, beat-driven acoustic guitar, there will be crying steel guitar. The hip, monotone reading of the lyrics will be replaced by a slow, note-bending drawl of the sort once employed by Lefty Frizzell. There may even be some audible fiddle, clearly signaling a radical departure for the genre-conquering Tennessee boy.
Whether this release will continue Wallen’s winning streak is yet to be determined, but many behind the scenes are questioning the move. "Who's gonna play it? I mean, this thing is like, old-timey sounding and stuff," said Clearchannel country radio DJ Trey Turner. "You can't do …the griddy to it, I don't like it," complained Kawntrygull56 who replied to a snippet of the song on Wallen’s Facebook page.
Morgan, for his part, maintains that this will play to a new demographic he hasn't reached before. "The people who actually like the organic, authentic-sounding stuff like Merle Hagrid and Alan Strait [sic].” said Wallen, preening his famous mullet, “That's an audience we haven't spoken to yet."
