Sam Hunt‘s latest song, “Hard to Forget,” features a sample of Country Music Hall of Famer Webb Pierce‘s 1953 hit, “There Stands the Glass.” Sam tells us he's been wanting to sample an older song in one of his new tunes but nothing came together until he heard this particular song. “I’ve wanted to sample an older country song from an older era for a while, and I’ve tried a few times to make it work, and the songs just haven’t panned out or I haven’t had an idea to write with the samples that we’ve used. I tried some samples from the ‘90s ‘cause that’s kind of the era of country music that I grew up on, but it never seemed to quite work. For some reason when I heard this Webb Pierce sample for the first time, it clicked, and I knew that was gonna be the song that was gonna be the one we sampled.”
Sam releases the official music video for “Hard to Forget” today (Friday, March 20th) at 10 a.m. CT. “Hard to Forget” is from his upcoming album, Southside, which will be available on April 3rd.
In other Sam news, he has postponed the first three dates on his Southside Tour in Charlotte, NC; Raleigh, NC; and Bristow, VA until October 1st, 2nd and 3rd, respectively. The tour will now open on June 11th in Alpharetta, GA.
