In honor of Father’s Day, Cole Swindell shared the song “Dale, Jr.” – written by Swindell, Greylan James and Matt Alderman. ‘Dale, Jr.’ will be included on Cole’s upcoming fifth studio album Spanish Moss, scheduled to be released June 27th.

The song is a true story about Cole and Jr. connecting on and reminiscing and remembering the memory of their Dads. Swindell shares: “It’s one of the most emotional songs on this album. It’s track three, obviously, on purpose as a little nod to Dale, Sr and I don’t think you would expect what you’re about to hear. It’s just a true story. Dale Jr. reached out to me years back when I had, ‘You Should Be Here’ and he said he could relate to the song after the loss of his Dad, Dale, Sr. Obviously, he had never heard of my dad or met him, but it just shows you that people are real people. They’re dads, too. It’s not about what their occupations were. Dale Jr. and I connected over a common bond of loss. ‘We just did what missing dads sons do’ is one of my favorite lines I’ve ever been a part of writing. I hope Dale finds his song as special as I do.”

Swindell has previously released the singles “We Can Always Move On,” and Spanish Moss’s debut No. 1 single “Forever To Me,” as well the tracks “Bottom Of It,” “Dirty Dancing,” “We Can Always Move On,” “Spanish Moss,” “Kill A Prayer,” and “One Day”.
