Bailey Zimmerman, “Get to Gettin’ Gone” [📷: Warner Music Nashville / Elektra]“Get to Gettin’ Gone” shows exactly why Bailey Zimmerman has been dubbed such a promising up-and-coming star.  He has a beautiful, rich tone, crafting a colorful, yet relatable lyrically.  Zimmerman penned “Get to Gettin’ Gone” alongside 🎼 ✍ Greylan James and  Jason Massey.  The verses are intriguing with the chorus being the most memorable section – the centerpiece:

“To get to getting’ gone

Get on my no-look-back, yeah

And like an old song

Fadin’ off in the radio static

We had it good, ain’t no good time for goodbye

Don’t you think it’s about time?

That this life we been livin’, lips you been kissin’

Ties that I’m settin’ on

Get to getting’ gone.”

Beyond the expressive vocals, fine rhythmic and melodic lines, and the songwriting, the sound and production bode well for Zimmerman.  🎛 Austin Shawn does a fine job behind the boards.
