Chase Rice drops “Two Tone Trippin'” with Wyatt McCubbin

Chase Rice has released new track “Two Tone Trippin'” featuring fellow singer-songwriter Wyatt McCubbin.

The track is a jangly, guitar-picking joyride that captures the heart of summer and the spirit of a classic American truck. It is the first preview of new music to come later this year.

“Two Tone Trippin'” is a feel-good celebration of freedom, young love and the timeless charm of a two-tone pickup. It takes a well-worn symbol of Country storytelling and revs it up with fresh detail and classic Country flair. Rice and McCubbin – who cowrote the song with producer Oscar Charles – trade verses like old friends swapping stories on the tailgate, with a toe-tapping arrangement and vivid, boots-on-the-dash imagery.
 
“Wyatt, Oscar and I were driving around Rollinsville, Colorado, and we kept noticing two-tone trucks everywhere. Oscar finally said, ‘Man, this must be where two-tones go to die.’ Then out of nowhere, he goes, ‘We should write a song called ‘Two Tone Trippin’,’” recalls Rice. “I had just bought a ‘72 two-tone Chevy, so I was all about it. I think we wrote the whole thing in about 45 minutes – no rules, not even a chorus. We just straight up had fun on this one. And everything you hear in the recording – the playing and the singing – was all one take.”
 
McCubbin, who is known for penning songs for artists including Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Zach Top, Cody Johnson and more in addition to his own solo career, adds a soulful layer to the track introducing the next chapter in Rice’s career, which promises to further expand his evolution as an artist. More new music is expected later this year, as Rice continues to lean into his roots for the follow-up to 2024’s independent release “Go Down Singin'”.
