Kylie Frey Teams Up With Randall King For A New Texas Twanger, “Fort Worth”

The magic of Fort Worth… or something like that.

A lot unfolds in the Fort Worth Stockyards each night. Live music fills the red brick streets, beers are being thrown back, folks are being swung around the dance floor, and lovers are reconnecting or having a spat with each other. I’m sure we’ve all seen a lover’s spat while wandering through the Stockyards, or any bar-filled area, to be frank.

Playing into a lover’s quarrel, Kylie Frey and Randall King just released a cheeky Texas twanger about making your lover (or former lover) jealous while being out on the town in “Fort Worth.”

If any two artists were meant to sing a tune like this, it’s Frey and King. Although Frey might not hail from Texas, the Louisiana native knows how to create some honky tonk anthems, and of course, we know King for his jonky tonk sound, making them a match made in heaven.

The song opens up with Frey recalling the events of the previous night, making one believe this is going to be a ballad about two lovers reconnecting during a date night in the Texas city.

“A couple belt buckles on a hotel floor
A do not disturb sign on the door
And waking up back in love is how it ends…”

Think again. King chimes in after Frey delivers the first lines, noting that a lot of events unfolded before these two lovers reconnected. King tells the tale that Frey walked into a bar on the arm of another Romeo, which did not fly with King, soon leading to a fist-flying fight.

“But you walk in with some Romeo
Just to piss me off, next thing I know
The tears are crying, the fists are flying, and that’s how it all begins…”

After some tears were shed, things get back on track, but it sounds like for the two lovers that King and Frey depict in this story, the combination of each other, cold beer, and Fort Worth often leads to an action-packed night of lovers fighting before reconnecting with each other.

At the end of each night out in Fort Worth, these troubled lovers always end up stumbling back to each other’s hotel rooms to reconnect and put their troubles in the past.

“Mixin me and you and ice cold beer in Fort Worth
Well, I guaran damn tee you’re gonna see some fireworks
It’s the greatest break up, kiss and make up, show on earth
Mixing me and you and ice cold beer in Fort Worth”

It might be a whirlwind affair, but it works for this slightly toxic couple. The Texas swing style meldoy filled with stell guitar is the perfect upbeat tempo to take the listener on this wild right and the back and forth from the man and woman’s point of view keeps you engaged after the first few lines, when the seeminly fairytale love song takes a twisted turn to a couple who loves to push each other’s buttons, to later kiss and make up.

This is a whirlwind of a Texas twanger that you’ll quickly find on repeat. Turn this one all the way up.
