For Jake Owen, the themes of his current single “American Country Love Song” harken back to songs he loves from Kenny Chesney, John Cougar Mellencamp and Brooks & Dunn. Jake says that those songs “just explain the feeling that we all have living in this beautiful country.” And that’s what he was going for with his top 10 hit “American Country Love Song”–which is the first song of American Love, Jake’s new album that arrives next Friday July 29th!

  Jake Owen talks about the American theme of “American Country Love Song.” (:19)
“When I think of those kind of songs I think of ‘Jack and Dianne’ or even Kenney Chesney’s Two Bottles of Wine and a Dixie Cup, and ‘How Forever Feels,’ those kind of songs, and that’s what this song is to me. It’s a song like Brooks and Dunn’s ‘Only in America’ that just explains the feeling that we all have living in this beautiful country.”
