A brand new one from Carter Faith.<\/p>\n
Last weekend was a big one for country music. The ACM Awards took over Las Vegas, George Strait did a two-night run at Austin, Texas\u2019 Moody Center, and Treaty Oak Revival took over Nashville\u2019s Ryman Auditorium. While most people were in one location for the whole weekend, Carter Faith was jumping around as she was opening up for George Strait, and then had to jet over to Vegas for her ACM Awards performance of \u201cIf I Had Never Lost My Mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ACM Album of the Year nominee blew her performance out of the water and was riding a high all weekend as she had just announced a deluxe edition of her debut record, Cherry Valley Forever<\/em><\/a><\/strong>. Cherry Valley<\/em>\u00a0is filled with wild nights, heartbreak, growth, and lyrics that cut like a knife. The project turned a lot of heads here at Whiskey Riff, earning the title of the\u00a0Best Debut Album of 2025<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and landing at #15 on the\u00a040 Best Country Albums of 2025<\/a><\/strong>. But beyond what we think here at Whiskey Riff, it turned heads by the big players securing a nomination for Album of the Year at the upcoming ACM Awards.<\/p>\n I am very excited to see how she expands on this sensational era, and she\u2019s given fans a taste of what the deluxe record\u2019s five additional tracks will feature by releasing \u201cAin\u2019t Over Me Yet\u201d in celebration of Cherry Valley Forever<\/em>\u2018s announcement. Sonically, this tune fits perfectly into the Cherry Valley<\/em> frame as Faith delivers the heartbreaking lyrics of meeting up with a former lover, knowing that the relationship is and has been over for quite some time. But she has a glimmer of faith that they might be able to turn things around and find that spark again. In the end, she ends up hurting her own feelings, having one night of pleasure.<\/p>\n Riding the high that release, Faith was on a roll of sharing new music, debuting a brand new song titled \u201cIf A Man\u2019s From Texas.\u201d Fitting to debut this one in Austin. The song is set to appear on Cherry Valley Forever<\/em>, and, in true Carter Faith fashion, it\u2019s a warning for women to watch out for boys who disguise themselves as men from Texas. The southern drawl might lure you in, but sure enough, you will see his true colors, and those Southern manners might be thrown out the door.<\/p>\n The upbeat tune has a slight Texas swing tempo that makes you want to dance, which is exactly what Faith does as she works the crowd, moving to every corner of the stage while delivering these catchy lyrics.<\/p>\n Cater Faith is on a roll, and I can\u2019t wait to hear the studio cut of this one come July 24.<\/p>\n Check it out:<\/p>\n And before you go, fire up \u201cAin\u2019t Over Me Yet,\u201d too:<\/p>\n\n
