"I Run on Country" is a song recorded by Canadian country music band The Washboard Union. The three band members wrote the song with Dave Thomson, and co-produced it with Matt McClure.[1][2] The song marked their first release of new music since their 2020 studio album Everbound, and is the lead single off their next album slated for release in early 2024.[3][4]
Chris Duncombe, lead singer and banjo player for the band, described "I Run on Country" as "essentially a love song written to country music".[3][5] The three members of the band, Duncombe, Aaron Grain, and David Roberts wrote the song with Dave Thomson, formerly of the band Wave, while in the Monashee Mountains.[6] Grain stated that the song came together "quite quickly".[7] Duncombe stated that the four writers knew they "were on to something" when they woke up the next day after writing the song.[3] The song is the first release from what Duncombe described as a "brand new chapter" for the band, after they partnered with Universal Music Canada.[3]
Critical reception
Brent Furdyk of ET Canada described the song as a "hard-driving track with an outlaw country feel".[8]
