Lane Lowder remains one of the hottest rising young stars in country music today. This latest single, “This Ain’t Your Fault,” tightens that peg even further, with a raw, emotive story that is both timeless and highly personal.
Set against the honesty that is intrinsic to country storytelling, the song delves into the devastating aftereffects of alcohol abuse and loss, as told through a mourning wife’s eyes. Bearing an endearingly young voice and a wisdom older than his years, Lane breathes life into a story of guilt, forgiveness, and emotional emancipation. The very title of it, “This Ain’t Your Fault,” is an expression of empathy for anyone incumbered by feelings of guilt after tragedy.
Influenced by icons ranging from George Strait and Garth Brooks to Merle Haggard, Lane straddles the line between beery country-rock and the modern rootsy earnestness of songwriters such as Riley Green and Parker McCollum. The warm guitars, emotive vocals, and steady rhythm of the production welcome you to take in every word, while still nodding along to its classic country-rock sound. It’s a song that honors the past while looking forward to the genre.
And after winning with his recent single “Good Song,” Lane shows he’s a storyteller at his core, writing songs that have something to say. “This Ain’t Your Fault” is about redemption, knowledge, and light even in the shadows.
With every release, Lane Lowder becomes more of what an artist should be. Truth over trends, emotion instead of perfection. “This Ain’t Your Fault” is a reminder that age isn’t what makes authenticity, it’s heart.
