NEW COUNTRY DUET FROM AMY METCALFE FT. TRISTAN HORNCASTLE
ROYALTY RECORDS & SONY MUSIC CANADA PRESENT…
“Whiskey Won’t Fix Me”
Produced by: Aaron Goodvin, Bart Butler & Tristan Horncastle
“I started to write this song at Big Valley Jamboree, on my walk towards the outhouses (true story). As I was on my walk, I passed through and by a lot of campsites. So many people were a mess. I’m all for having a good time, but you can always tell the difference between people that party for fun and people that try to disappear for a few days. I wrote the lyrics on my leg with a pen, or rather scratched them on, as the pen wasn’t working. I sang the Whis-key won’t fix-me over and over, so I wouldn’t forget. My friends probably thought I was in space, because I was kind of out of it the whole weekend. I was in a writing trance. I had written a few more lyrics to the chorus like “rum leaves me numb”. But I could just tell it wasn’t becoming what it should.
When I was in Nashville, I took the song to the magical Byron Hill (George Strait, Gary Allen, Gord Bamford) and I played him the chorus I had. He changed my second sub par line and added a better one and then we began to write the verses. We wrote the song in about 45 minutes and I knew it was done! Man he’s good. The song ended up lighter, cute and just a feel good song. Now after we wrote it, I thought to myself, this needs to be a duet, who’s a down to earth, rich voiced country singer that can give the song what I’m envisioning. Tristan Horncastle, that’s who. He sent me a voice memo of him singing it acoustically and I knew it was going to be something great. He did such a great job on this track. We recorded it in Nashville with producers Aaron Goodvin, Bart Butler and engineered by Julian King, who has engineered for artists like Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill’s smash “Breathe” and MANY more. Aaron and Bart brought this song one step further, they delivered such a radio, patio, pontoon friendly jam along song.
For some reason you don’t see a lot of collaborations in Canadian Country Music and I’m so excited to change that”. -Amy Metcalfe
“First listening to the song I was struck by how well written it is….it all begins with that! The second part is the simplicity in the recording that makes the two of you shine as artists. Seeya on the charts!” – Ralph Murphy – ASCAP Nashville
“Two minutes and forty-one seconds of 100 Proof Magic! Everything about it sounds like a BIG hit.” – Byron Hill – Songwriter/Producer/Musician
A great Country duet song about “ Drinkin up the one you Love”… I love it. – Duane Steele – Singer/Songwriter
“I love it! Seriously, it sounds great and I love the tempo and lyrics…. Their voices work really well together.“- Christie Armstrong – Sakamoto Entertainment

“I’m very excited about Recreation Land! I wrote this in Nashville with #1 hit writer, Bart Butler and Aaron Goodvin. We all love and enjoy our free time, therefore wanted to write a fun song that talks about those weekends and nights that we take the gun out for some target practice, four wheeling, back road drives, getting dirty, having that cold one after a long week of work, and just living life to the fullest. It’s just an all around fun song. I hope you all enjoy!”

“A Little Bit of Alright”
Country 94.1 FM/Saint John, NB
“Tristan is the real deal. “A Little Bit of Alright” fits in with the sound of Country music in 2014. He is positive, fun, and sings it with a million watt smile. Tristan Horncastle deserves to be heard by audiences across Canada. We are adding “A Little Bit of Alright” out of the box. It just sounds right to start the year.” – Scott Clements, PD, Country 94 Saint John
Message from Tristan:
“In 2013, I released my first national radio single “She Brings The Beer” independently. It peeked at #54, and am so thankful to Canadian Country Radio for having a listen, and spinning it.
In January 2014, I am very very excited to have Royalty Records release my new single, ” A Little Bit of Alright”. This song is written by Aaron Goodvin, and Darryl Burgess. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. This is what life is all about. It takes me back to my young days. My mom grew up on a big farm in a very small town, where everybody waves when they pass, and they all know each other. I have so many great memories of the time I spent there growing up in the summers. When I perform it live, or hear someone playing it on the CD, it takes me back, even to the smells. I’m positive Canada, and all my fans will love this song. Hope you enjoy!!”
