Dalton Davis has built his reputation on grit, authenticity, and a deep-rooted connection to the life he sings about, and his new single ‘Redneck and You Know It' is his most unapologetic statement yet. The North Carolina native and self-described cowboy troubadour delivers the track with a grin and a growl, celebrating the people and places that shaped him. Released via MCA / Republic Records, the song feels less like a novelty and more like a rallying cry, honouring the good ol’ boys and girls who worked sunup to sundown and still found time to raise a little hell when the day was done.
At its core, ‘Redneck and You Know It' is a high-octane salute to a lifestyle that exists far beyond city limits. Davis paints vivid pictures of Friday night bonfires, mud-splattered trucks, and small-town pride worn as a badge of honor rather than a stereotype. There’s an infectious energy running through the track, driven by big hooks and a no-nonsense attitude that mirrors the community it celebrates. It’s country music that doesn’t ask for permission, embracing hard work, loyalty, and a sense of fun that comes from knowing exactly where you come from.
The single arrives as momentum continues to build around Davis. Earlier this month, he appeared on Landman (Songs From and Inspired By The Paramount+ Original Series) Volume II with ‘Fireproof,' a track co-written alongside series star Billy Bob Thornton, Ronnie Bowman, and Mark Collie. Last year saw Davis sign with MCA / Republic Records and release ‘Cows In The Front Yard,' a gritty, catchy introduction to his world that hinted at what was coming next. With a slot on the Rock The Country Festival lineup and more live dates set for 2026, ‘Redneck and You Know It' feels like another confident step forward from an artist determined to keep country music loud, proud, and rooted in real life.
