Alex Miller Recruits Longtime Friend Emily Ann Roberts For New Track, “More Country Than You”

Duet Premiered On People.com; Fans Can Pre-Save NOW

Nashville, TN (January 23, 2025) – Country entertainer Alex Miller has recruited Emily Ann Roberts to pair up for a sassy, nostalgia-inspired up-tempo duet on his new streaming offering, “More Country Than You.” Amusing lyrics and attitude to spare give this song a vibe that both young singers say was inspired by the classic pairings of Johnny and June, Conway and Loretta, and George and Tammy. Nashville Scene/TN Tribune writer Ron Wynn describes the track as “equal parts flirtatious and funny, self-deprecating and enjoyable. Miller and Roberts provide the mix of charm and heat that’s at the heart of all great duets. Beautifully sung and superbly executed.”

I can stack bales of hay

In a barn loft all day long

I can grab my old guitar

And sing you a Bocephus song

I wear Bass Pro hat

I like a Copenhagen chew

Girl, I think I’m a little more country than you

Well, I can bait my own hook

Put up my own deer stand

I squirrel my cash away

In a coffee can

My pair of Lucchese boots

Know how to boot scoot

Boy, I think I’m a little more country than you (Miller/Roberts/Whyte)

The streaming track enjoyed an exclusive premiere on PEOPLE.com (January 22). Fans can pre-save now; “More Country Than You” will be available across all streaming platforms on Friday, January 24.

Miller says he and his co-writers wanted listeners to hear the song and think: “Dadgum, now that’s Country.” He adds, “It may be the countriest thing out there and I’m proud of it. I hope everyone enjoys this one. It’s a new song, but it tips the hat to the great duets of the past. Emily Ann is a great friend, and I’m thrilled we’ve had this chance to sing together.”

For Emily Ann, “More Country Than You” reflects the love she and Alex share for traditional Country music. “We’ve always been kindred spirits because we’re young kids with hearts that beat for this music. We’ve been writing together for a while now and that day we were also working with Bill Whyte, and it all just clicked. We knew this one was something special, and with all the back-and-forth banter it was a ton of fun to record. I hope folks get a laugh when they hear it.”

“More Country Than You” was produced Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records and will be included on Miller’s upcoming album for the label.

Alex is currently focusing on his songwriting and recording for the upcoming project. His latest radio single/video, “She Makes Dirt Look Good,” is fast becoming a programmers’ favorite. Miller will attend CRS in February.

ABOUT ALEX MILLER

This now 21-year-old, 6’ 6” entertainer from rural Lancaster, Kentucky is a natural fan favorite. When Alex hits the stage he owns the spotlight – and the hearts of those in the crowd. He can be a wild man onstage with his high-energy performances - ala early Garth Brooks - or he can bring nuance and deep emotion to a tender ballad. American Idol Season 19 brought him fame and totally changed his life in 2021. Alex’s well-received debut album for Billy Jam Records, MILLER TIME, released in 2022, generated three high-impact singles. His second release for the label, COUNTRY (2023), brought more hits: “When God Made The South,” “Girl, I Know A Guy,” and the smash single, “Puttin’ Up Hay,” which spent three weeks at #1 on the CDX True Indie Chart and graced the Top 50 on the Mediabase Activator Chart. He’s toured the State and County Fair circuit heavily (KY, MO, NY, WA, WI, IL, IN, OK, WV), and opened for Brooks & Dunn, Hank, Jr, Josh Turner, Lee Brice, Jamey Johnson, Chris Janson, Ian Munsick, Justin Moore, Alabama, Chapel Hart, Drake Milligan, Noah Thompson, Dillon Carmichael, HunterGirl, Emily Ann Roberts, Neal McCoy, and Tracy Byrd. Alex has also made sure to carve out time for his songwriting, and in the last 12 months he has collaborated with hitmakers Kent Blazy, Larry Cordle, Byron Hill, Carl Jackson, Kirsti Manna, Wood Newton, Emily Ann Roberts, Jerry Salley, Josh Shilling, and Bill Whyte. Closing out a spectacular 2023, he received the American FFA Degree for Excellence, the organization’s highest accolade. Miller’s current five-song EP, MY DADDY’S DAD (Billy Jam Records), produced by Jerry Salley, was released in April of this year. The EP’s title track was a hit at Country radio, and its companion music video enjoyed a premiere on Taste Of Country. Alex moved to Nashville in May and made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry in June. His current single, "She Makes Dirt Look Good," is impacting radio now.
