My grandfather is the person that introduced me to country music. Hed play his records, and I remember thinking, I want to do that. I want to tell stories and write songs that are relatable to everyone, shares Dover. The songs we chose are timeless, so I wanted to stay faithful to the spirit of each one, but I loved getting to put some of my own style into it too.

The project includes Vince Gills Go Rest High On That Mountain with backing vocals from the 22x GRAMMY winner himself and a rousing performance of Alabamas Mountain Music. The Georgia native introduced the collection with John Denvers Take Me Home, Country Roads, with MusicRow praising, Think again, if you think youve heard this oldie often enough. Dovers slowed-down, gentle, caressing, thoughtful reading of the lyric brings a whole new dimension to the song, as Wide Open Country observes, By singing one we all know, Dover drew attention to his smooth twang and his innate ability to make us feel the emotions packed in every line.

After honing his live show with festival dates and supporting acts such as Luke Combs, Tyler Hubbard, Sam Hunt, Parker McCollum, Justin Moore and Chase Rice, Dover will join Larry Fleet on The Earned It Tour later this month ahead of his headlining Never Giving Up On That Tour kicking off in April. Tickets are on sale now atDaltonDoverOfficial.com.

Dover is signed with United Talent Agency for worldwide booking representation in all areas, along with Sony Music Publishing Nashville in partnership with Droptine Music Publishing. For more information, visitDaltonDoverOfficial.comor follow along on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and Facebook.
