Fresh off the SiriusXM Outlaw Country presents Jamey Johnson Tour, country music’s ultimate storyteller Erin Enderlin adds yet another page to her budding success story with the release today of her EP Chapter One: Tonight I Don’t Give a Damn. The EP, which takes listeners on a journey through the exquisite and often raw songwriting of Enderlin, is now available for download HERE.
Enderlin shines throughout Chapter One: Tonight I Don’t Give a Damn on the heartbreakingly beautiful “Broken,” the incredibly honest “Till It’s Gone” and the soul-bearing title track. A trilogy of music videos, which follow a singular character through the powerful narrative of the three songs contained on the EP, premiered today on CMT HERE.
“I love storytelling and developing characters,” Enderlin recently told The Tennessean shortly before taking the Grand Ole Opry stage for a fifth time on April 23. “I’ve been told I slant to the dark side of life.”
Of course, this unique slant to the Arkansas native’s songwriting is what makes Chapter One: Tonight I Don’t Give a Damn downright irresistible, and continues to follow Enderlin’s drive to create characters that materialize within the lyrics of each of her songs. Chapter One: Tonight I Don’t Give a Damn tells the continuing story of the hurting woman featured in the song “Broken” from her most recent project Whiskeytown Crier.
“For me, it was interesting to think about how her situation was going to affect the rest of her life,” says Enderlin, who will quickly follow the EP with Chapter Two this June as well as both Chapter Three and Chapter Four before the end of the year. The project is a collaboration between Enderlin’s Black Crow Productions and label partner Blaster Records, with management by music industry veteran Marty Winsch.
About Erin Enderlin
The last few years have been especially busy for singer-songwriter Erin Enderlin. While she first turned heads as a godsend to those aching for an artist with some golden-era country backbone, Enderlin’s acclaimed 2017 record Whiskeytown Crier cemented her as something even more: a literary songwriter and superb vocal stylist with a knack for sharply drawn––and often sad––characters. Named a member of the 2018 CMT Next Women of Country class and recipient of the Arkansas Country Music Awards Songwriter and Album of the Year trophies, she has surged to the forefront of new artists rooted in the genre’s rich history. Enderlin is also a go-to writer for stars looking for heavyweight country with classic panache––Alan Jackson’s “Monday Morning Church,” Lee Ann Womack’s “Last Call,” Luke Bryan’s “You Don’t Know Jack” and a host of other songs recorded by Randy Travis, Joey + Rory, Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, Whisperin’ Bill Anderson, and more are all Enderlin-penned.
