Bryan Martin Releases "Ain't My Old Man" Ahead of Upcoming Album "Years In The Making"
Bryan Martin, the rising country music star from Logansport, Louisiana, has released a poignant new single, "Ain't My Old Man," on February 7, 2025. This emotionally charged track is set to feature on his upcoming album, "Years In The Making," scheduled for release on April 4, 2025, via Average Joes Entertainment.
"Ain't My Old Man" delves into the complex relationship between Martin and his father, exploring the universal theme of realizing one's inherited traits. Martin, known for his authentic storytelling, co-wrote the song with Lee Thomas Miller and Nick Walsh, showcasing his ability to craft lyrics that resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level.
In discussing the song, Martin shared, "I think a lot of us grow up wanting to be like our dads, but at the same time saying 'I don't want to be nothing like that when I grow up.' I want to have more patience and teach my kids how to do things. Then you grow up and sometimes you catch yourself in moments where you're just like 'man, I'm just like that guy.'"
The release of "Ain't My Old Man" follows the success of Martin's platinum-certified hit "We Ride," which garnered over 300 million streams and reached the Top 3 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart. His rising single "Wolves Cry" is also currently climbing the country radio charts, further solidifying his position as a formidable force in the country music scene.
Martin's journey to country music stardom has been anything but conventional. Born and raised in Logansport, Louisiana, he began singing in church at a young age. His mother, who had shared stages with country legends like Faron Young and Alison Krauss, recognized his talent early on. However, Martin's path took several detours, including stints as a bull rider, oil field worker, and a brief enlistment in the United States Army.
These diverse life experiences have significantly influenced Martin's songwriting, contributing to his reputation as a gritty storyteller who authentically captures the essence of blue-collar America[6]. His discography includes the albums "If It Was Easy" (2019), "Self Inflicted Scars" (2022), and "Poets & Old Souls" (2023), each showcasing his evolution as an artist and songwriter.
As Martin prepares for the release of "Years In The Making," he continues to tour extensively, having shared stages with country music heavyweights such as Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, and Eric Church. His raw, honest approach to songwriting and his powerful, soulful voice have earned him a growing fanbase and critical acclaim, including a 2024 MusicRow Awards nomination for "Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year".
With "Ain't My Old Man" and the forthcoming album "Years In The Making," Bryan Martin is poised to further cement his place in the country music landscape, offering listeners a window into his world through his deeply personal and relatable songwriting.
