Gavin Adcock is back with a song made for the people who keep this country moving.“Workin’Man”dropped today, and it’s a straight-up tribute to blue-collar workers everywhere. Co-written with Luke Laird and Jimi Bell, the track comes from Adcock’s upcoming album“The Day I Hang It Up,”which is due out on October 2. It’s the kind of song that names the pride in clocking in early, putting in the hours, and still making time for family.
The music video is what really sets this release apart. Adcock put a simple call out on Instagram: send me footage of you at your job. Over 4,000 people answered. He whittled that down to nearly 500 clips, and the result is a video made up of real folks doing real work. Farmers, factory workers, nurses, servers. The people the song was written for actually star in it. That’s not a marketing stunt, that’s a love letter to the audience.
And there’s more on the horizon. Adcock is also hitting the road with The Day I Hang It Up Tour, and he’s been clear about his intentions. Despite the struggles of the last five years, he says he plans to make music until the day he dies. With songs like“Workin’Man”connecting this deeply with listeners, that’s good news for country fans. What’s the job that means the most to you, and would you have sent in a clip?
