He's sold over 250,000 copies of his debut album and has sold over two million track downloads, nearly all of them in 2014, a year when both things aren't normal commodities. Cole Swindell, who was recently nominated for a CMA New Artist of the Year award (which he lost to Warner Music Nashville labelmate Brett Eldredge), has had a strong start to his career in 2014. "Chillin' It'" was certified Platinum and was a #2 radio hit (#1 on the all-encompassing Billboard "Hot Country Songs" chart) while the recent follow-up, "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" was a radio chart-topper and certified Gold. This single, "Ain't Worth The Whiskey" is the third single from Cole Swindell.
Like "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight," "Ain't Worth The Whiskey" is a honest-to-God country song that steps outside of the the 'bro' sound many associate Cole Swindell with. Instead it's a standard country music single, albeit slightly modernized for modern tastes. If Cole Swindell is to survive the du jour flavor of the month (year) sound that is "bro," it's definitely going to be because of his ability to write songs that aren't just hook-y ditties about drinking beer and tailgates, another words, songs like "Ain't Worth The Whiskey."
