Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Drinking Buddy,” Booth shared,
“This song is near and dear to my heart. ‘Drinking Buddy’ is a song I wrote about losing a dear friend. Words can’t describe how hard it is to lose a friend or family member. It’s the memories of them and your faith that you will see them again someday that gets you through the loss and finds a way to put a smile back on your face. This song is for my Drinking Buddy, and I hope that it puts a smile on your face thinking about yours too when you hear it.”
Alongside the release, Booth has released a new lyric video for the track that can be viewed here.
With “Drinking Buddy” hitting streaming platforms today, Booth is set to embark on a 20-date headlining tour titled ‘Wilder Than A Buck,’ kicking off in Uncasville, CT on February 23rd. Following his domestic tour, Booth will take his captivating performances across the pond as direct support on Darius Rucker‘s ‘Starting Fires Tour‘ in Europe.
