Shredding guitars, scorching fiddle and solid percussion highlight life lessons from a whiskey-soaked stranger in Trace Nixon’s new streaming track, “Love Lost Has Been,”  is available now. The Country newcomer admits the tune, from his upcoming EP, was inspired by a real experience. “I was out with some friends, and this inebriated older gentleman was making his way around the room rambling on about all the important things he’d done. The next morning, I was thinking about what happened to this guy … who or what had he lost that made him this way. The song came together pretty quickly.”

Recorded just outside of Nashville, TN at Dark Horse Studios (Franklin), “Love Lost Has Been” features Nixon on acoustic guitar, along with the talents of top-tier studio players Shawn Fitcher (drums), Dave Flint (electric guitar), Deanie Richardson (fiddle), Tony Paoletta (steel guitar), Dave Francis (bass), and Chris Nole (piano). Billy Thomas, Wendy Newcomer, and Dani Flowers added background vocals. Released by Charlotte Avenue Entertainment, the track was produced by William Gawley.
