Eddie Ray Arnold releases freeing new video for summer country anthem “What If I Don’t”


June 22nd, 2022 (Nashville, TN): Country artist Eddie Ray Arnold releases music video for new single “What If I Don’t.”

The music video for Eddie Ray Arnold’s latest single “What If I Don’t” is a poignant and powerful performance-esque video, featuring Eddie in a hot road, cruising the roads, reveling in his newfound freedom. The single’s determined energy and message is apparent in the video, as Eddie shows his emotion through the driving choruses of the song. The music video only adds to the narrative of “What If I Don’t,” and we are loving the story.

This latest single from rising country musician Eddie Arnold, “What If I Don’t,” incorporates classic country stylings with a fresh and engaging rock guitar solo and beautiful backing vocals. The track is catchy, and perfectly captures the feeling of cheekily considering a “will they/won’t they” scenario with yourself. The track opens with a strong drum beat and goes from there, with Eddie’s great voice moving the whole track along from start to finish.

This track also provides a perfect display of Eddie’s ability to convey emotion and images with words. The line “must’ve seen that thing a thousand times/but this time changed it all” in particular smartly encapsulates that feeling that one can get when things in life change, and one starts viewing it all with a different perspective. Overall, this is another country hit from Eddie Arnold.

A self-proclaimed performer since the age of 7 – starting with the Piano Players Guild of America – Eddie Ray Arnold has made music an integral and essential part of his life. Eddie grew up in Colorado, surrounded by the Earth’s natural wonders; as a result, he spent much of his time communing with the land by hunting, fishing, and camping. His single, ‘Beautiful Day,’ references HWY 285 which begins just outside of Denver. Today, Eddie lives in North Georgia with his wife and children.

Eddie’s music tends towards the upbeat, with a focus on life’s positives over anything else. This focus comes out in full force during his energetic live shows, where you’ll rarely see him standing still or playing something slow. Notable stages Eddie has occupied in the past include The Melting Point, The Foundry, The 40 Watt, Historic Ritz Theatre in Toccoa, GA, Madison County Fair, Live on TV with Dave and Michelle, and Live on Radio with It’s Friday. Most recently he has performed at The Scoreboard Nashville and The Local in Nashville.

When asked to describe what separates him from other current artists in the genre, Eddie had this to say: 

“What may be unusual is that I’m more positive in my content than most in country. I’m also not trying to be an outlaw or something else, I’m not trying to fit into a box. I just want to play my songs and I hope people like them.”

Not only a musician, Eddie also has experience with a host of other careers and hobbies, including windsurfing, calligraphy and graphic design, preaching, sharpshooting, firefighting, and DJing, just to name a few. He is truly a multi-talent, and that breadth of experience is something that he can pull from to heighten his own music.

Eddie is currently signed with Emanant Music Group out of Nashville and Atlanta, and he hopes to continue doing what he loves and improving with each performance.
