Jim Camacho is set to release his exciting new single "Alcohol You Now" on the 4th of July, accompanied by a playful and energetic video. Described by Camacho as "a cowboy serenade of a cautionary tale," the song boasts contributions from a talented group of musicians, including Ana Cristina Cash, Dave Daeger, Ira Dean, Caitlin Evanson, Justin Johnson, Rick Lonow, Jodi Marr, Mike Webb, and Justin Moses.

Production Details

The track was produced by Grammy winner John Carter Cash, the son of country legend Johnny Cash. It was recorded, engineered, and mixed by Chuck Turner at the iconic Cash Cabin, built by Johnny Cash himself. Mastering was done by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering, ensuring top-notch sound quality.

Songwriting Inspiration

"Alcohol You Now" was conceived during an inspiring songwriting session at Will Edwards' Copper Line Ranch in Nashville. Camacho, along with Edwards and the young country/folk artist Luke Olson, utilized Camacho’s unique 30-minute songwriting technique from his YouTube series "Adventures in Songwriting." Camacho recalls, “We set the timer and started writing. Very quickly we stumbled upon the 'drunk dial' concept, and we couldn't stop laughing as we brought the song to life. We knew right away that this track would be a fun one for listeners, and I’m thrilled that it’s now ready to be shared with the world.”

Video Production

The song's video, shot at Duffy’s Tavern, pays homage to the beloved Miami pub. Camacho collaborated with Juan Davila from Two-Way Creative to create a humorous concept centered around a hapless individual experiencing a series of misadventures after drunk dialing. Veteran actor Ken Clement stars in the video, bringing the story to life.

Special Appearances

The video features a guest appearance by the song's producer, John Carter Cash, playing the character Cephus, and includes a brief cameo by the late John Tovar, a respected figure in the South Florida music industry who played a significant role in the success of Marilyn Manson and The Mavericks.

Follow-Up to Past Success

This new single follows the reissue of Camacho’s critically acclaimed 2009 album, "Beachfront Defeat," in 2023, continuing his streak of delivering engaging and memorable music.
