Heartland country-rocker Logan Mize has built a career of being the unofficial spokesperson for small-town life, shining a light on rural experiences throughout all of his music. He continues that theme, sharing a new song that acts as a love letter to his Kansas upbringing and wife Jill Martin on « Rural Route Kid, » out now via Big Yellow Dog Music.

Co-written with longtime collaborator Daniel Agee (Jessie James Decker, HBO’s Big Little Lies) and Rob Williford (Luke Combs, Tim McGraw), « Rural Route Kid » recalls everything he loves about his hometown and his wife, reminding listeners to find gratitude in everyday living.

« Those first two verses fell out really quick, but we didn’t have a title we were writing to so we were kind of wandering blind for a while, » says Mize. « Once we found a direction and landed the chorus, I felt right away that this was going to be a special song. It’s quickly become one of my favorite tunes in my writing catalog. I hope everyone digs it as much as I do. »

« Rural Route Kid » follows Mize’s road-warrior anthem « Out Of State Plates » (9.15) and the hilariously candid 6-song collaboration with wife Jill Martin, ‘The Mizes’ (8.25).
Mize will release more new music later this year.
