Thanks to Some Sage Advice From Kenny Chesney, Old Dominion Scores Second No. 1 Single, “Song for Another Time”

Kenny Chesney knows best.

At least that’s Old Dominion’s story regarding their new No. 1 single, “Song for Another Time,” and they are sticking to it.

“Song for Another Time,” which is No. 1 on both this week’s Billboard Country Airplay chart and Mediabase chart, was penned by Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen and Brad Tursi with frequent collaborator Matt Jenkins. The tune is the band’s third single from their 2015 debut album, Meat and Candy, but according to frontman Matthew, it was actually pitched to Kenny Chesney and not slated for their debut record.

“When we went back into the studio to record ‘Song for Another Time’ to ensure it made Meat and Candy,” said Matthew. “We had initially pitched that song to [Kenny] Chesney to record.”

“It was one of the first times I can remember an artist telling us we needed to save a song for ourselves, so thanks Kenny!” Trevor said. “It definitely added something that we felt was missing on our album, and so to have it hit No. 1 feels really good as we trusted our instincts and as it turns out, they were right.” 

The guys from Old Dominion are back in the studio working on their upcoming album—tentatively scheduled for early 2017—with producer Shane McAnally.
