Russell Dickerson’s latest single, “Worth Your Wild,” is not just a catchy tune; it’s a masterclass in clever wordplay that listeners might miss if they’re not paying attention. As the song plays out, many may mistakenly catch the hook as “I’ll make it worth your while,” but Dickerson has taken steps to ensure fans get the real story, flashing the title on a video screen during performances. This track, born from a writing retreat with his collaborators Parker Welling and Casey Brown, showcases a fun backstory that weaves together personal experiences with creative songwriting.
The song channels the energetic spirit of ‘80s rock, complete with a gritty guitar riff and references to that unforgettable era, enriching its narrative of a carefree summer drive. However, the path to releasing this track wasn’t entirely smooth. A last-minute copyright snag involving the famous “Butterfly” song by Crazy Town certainly added tension to the creative process. In the end, it’s a feel-good anthem complete with the thrill of such musical chases, and Dickerson’s promise to deliver an electrifying live experience makes it clear that he’s ready to keep the pedal down for fans.
With so much going on in the track’s creation, one can only imagine what surprises lie ahead in the world of country music!
