Nashville, TN (October 23, 2025) - Tori Martin’s “Last Night In Laredo” is an emotional ode to a fleeting romantic rodeo fever dream – where one heart moves on and the other stays behind. The track, her newest release for LuckySky Music, will be available tomorrow and fans can pre-save now.
“I co-wrote this with Kirsti Manna and Maddie Lenhart earlier this year,” Martin says. “I see it as a sister song to ‘Abilene,’ echoing the same heartache through a stripped-down, intimate lens. It’s a classic Country story song, reminiscent of the ones I listened to growing up, and it’s from the perspective of a girl who falls for a rodeo rider - risking everything for a shot at love.”
They say cowboys don’t stick around
They’re the kind that’s greener pasture bound
But I didn’t feel like just any old girl in any one-horse town
Took that lasso and you roped me in
For a short ride on that tailspin
Don’t want to think about how I’ll never see you again
But I can’t forget (K. Manna/T. Martin/M. Lenhart)
The track opens with a mood-setting resonator guitar and then Martin effortlessly vocalizes feelings ranging from raw, tender and vulnerable to bittersweet acceptance and resolve. Producer Bill Warner notes, “Tori brings the ability to go big when the moment calls for it and is equally adept at delivering heartfelt nuanced lines. The vibe and mood of this song really provided an emotional space where her subtle side could shine. ‘Last Night In Laredo’ is definitely one of my favorite vocal performances that we’ve captured.”
Recorded at WarnerWorks (Old Hickory, TN) and Nighthawk Studio (Mt. Juliet, TN), “Last Night In Laredo” features the talents of musicians Mark Hill (Bass), Bill Warner (Nylon, 12 string, Resonator, Baritone guitar), Russ Pahl (Steel guitar), and Brian Czach (Drums), with J4 providing Background vocals.
Martin has now enjoyed three #1 Texas music singles: “Lost In The Country" (2024), "Abilene" (2025) and, last month, “Cowgirls Ride.” Recent press includes Taste of Country, StarShine Magazine, Holler, Cowgirl Magazine, The Country Note, Country Evolution, and AOL.com.
