While the title, Big Storm, evokes a powerful connotation, the title track adds a great liveliness when you hear it. The upcoming album also features the talents of songwriter and Hall of Fame member, Kim Williams, who wrote 5 songs on the project including the title track, “I Love Her, She Hates Me, I Drink” and “Devil in the Mirror.” “Semper Fi,” written by Trace Adkins, is among the first tracks to be released from the album, along with “That’s How You Know You’re Livin.’” After asking Trace for permission to record the song, Adam ended up turning “Semper Fi” into a duet with the singer. He was definitely my number one fan,” adds Warner. My grandfather passed away about two months before we actually released it. “That’s, of course, their favorite song, but it came out in a crazy time. Warner’s family, who’s been very supportive of his music, were not shy sharing their feelings about the song. One man in particular was on his mind as he wrote this song-his grandfather, who got to hear “4 Square Miles” before he passed, but unfortunately, did not get to see the music video. “Out of everything that I have released up until this point, that one has been the most well received.” “That’s the one that probably hits closest to home for me because I wrote that song about where I grew up and my family farm,” explains Warner. The previously released “4 Square Miles,” featured on the upcoming album, holds a special place in Warner’s heart because it’s a tribute to his family. These moments in time were a big inspiration for the music on Warner’s upcoming album, Big Storm. Major stages of his life include growing up on a farm with his family and joining the Marine Corps. “The most fun part for me is taking that music and being out on stage performing it for people,” Warner tells American Songwriter. ![]()
