NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 27, 2024) – Today, country music duo The Reeves Brothers released their new single, “She Don’t Want a Cowboy,” featuring Craig Morgan. They debuted the song earlier this month during a special performance with Morgan at the Grand Ole Opry. Under the bright lights, the real-life brothers seized their moment in the famous circle on the Opry stage, to cheers from an enthusiastic crowd of country music fans. Their performance captivated the audience and garnered rave reviews. LISTEN HERE.
“As artists and songwriters, I think one of the biggest things you can accomplish is collaborating with someone you grew up listening to, and you couldn’t watch CMT without seeing Craig Morgan when we were kids. Craig heard this song while we were on tour with him and one night while he was in the middle of his show he told the crowd how much he loved the song and that he wanted to do a duet with us on it,” said Matt Reeves. “That was a surreal moment for us! He’s been one of the most fun and spontaneous people we’ve ever worked with, so we can hardly contain our excitement about releasing our new song “She Don’t Want A Cowboy” with him!”
“She Don’t Want a Cowboy” tells the story of a couple navigating the challenges of rodeo life. The track showcases expert storytelling with vivid lyrics and soulful, raw, heart-wrenching vocals, paying tribute to cowboys, cowgirls, and those closely tied to the rodeo.
LYRICS
‘Cause She don’t want a cowboy
She don’t need an outlaw
She’s over all the heartbreaks
down right to the last straw
Hat on the bedpost
That’s what she hates most
Our last go round I know she will enjoy
Cause she don’t want a cowboy
“I always saw rodeo as much more than what happened in the arena. There was love, broken bones and wounded hearts. It was a lifestyle. Thanks to Josh Garrett and Alan Becker, who were both hometown heroes in the rodeo world when I was growing up, I got to live vicariously through them. It took me a while to turn those feelings into words and I can only hope that I not only do them justice but also the fans and athletes involved in such an incredible sport. Rodeo,” said Cole Reeves.

About The Reeves Brothers
It’s true the nostalgic sound of classic Country music is back and it’s come in no finer form then the roadhouse twang of The Reeves Brothers. Matt and Cole Reeves grew up in the small town of Pahrump, Nevada, where they lived behind The Stagestop, a honky tonk where their father, Jack Reeves, headlined five nights a week. Needless to say Country Music is embedded in the boys’ DNA and playing it, second nature to breathing. Just as importantly as their dad’s influence, the brothers were, from an early age, surrounded by mentors like Dick Dale, Red Simpson and Gib Guilbeau. The boys absorbed these various influences while working on perfecting their own craft with each passing day. Both briefly pursued solo careers, but soon realized that family was at the heart of who they are and the heartbeat of their music. And so, in 2013, The Reeves Brothers band was born. They released their first full-length album, which the Las Vegas Review “deemed worthy of being played on a jukebox stocked with the likes of Charlie Rich, David Allan Coe, and Merle Haggard, with voices as smooth as top-shelf bourbon.” After a successful album release and an ever-busying tour schedule and an expanding fan base, the brothers received the Ameripolitan Award for “Honky-Tonk Group of the Year” in 2018. Although The Reeves Brothers have already created a successful and thriving music career as both touring and recording musicians, they have only really just begun. The last two years saw them on the road with Justin Moore and Craig Morgan, and they quickly caught the attention of his songwriter/producer, Phil “Philbilly” O’Donnell. As they continue to build their team, the duo is also establishing themselves as a fixture on the Nashville scene. Get ready for the classic Country Honky-Tonk of the Reeves Brothers coming to your town and your radio in 2024.
