Garrett Bradford Releases New Single “She Loves Horses”

On the heels of his upcoming EP, Honkiest of Tonkers – Part II,

featuring a new radio version of “This Way of Life” from Yellowstone

(NASHVILLE, TN – April 11, 2025) — Texas country artist Garrett Bradford has officially released his new single, “She Loves Horses,” and it is now out on all streaming platforms via H.O.T. Records (Listen here: Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify). The song marks the first release from his upcoming EP, Honkiest of Tonkers – Part II, due out May 23, 2025.

A ballad about love gone wrong, “She Loves Horses” tells the story of a man who finds the perfect woman—only to break her heart and watch her love turn to hatred. The track is a moving blend of classic storytelling and country soul, co-written by Bradford and veteran hitmaker Tammy Hyler (Martina McBride, Collin Raye, Sheryl Crow).

The single is the first in a series of upcoming releases from Honkiest of Tonkers – Part II, which will continue with “Firefly” on May 2, leading up to the full EP release on May 23. The project also includes a brand-new radio version of Bradford’s breakout song “This Way of Life”, featured in Season 3, Episode 9 of Yellowstone. The song became the most Shazamed country song in the U.S. the day after it aired.

Honkiest of Tonkers – Part I, released earlier this year, garnered praise for its unapologetically traditional sound and included standout singles like “Watching You Burn,” “Do You (I Do),” and “Bad Girl Good.” The project landed Bradford on major playlists such as Spotify’s All New Country, CMT’s Roundup, ACM’s Fresh New Finds, and Apple Music’s New in Country. He was also named one of Country Evolution’s Artists to Watch in 2025.

The Rocking Magpie raved: “Pure, classically old-fashioned, 100% hardcore Texas honky tonk… Bradford is the real deal.”

Raised on a ranch in Weatherford, Texas, and deeply connected to the Western and rodeo lifestyle, Garrett’s music is infused with authenticity and a genuine understanding of the cowboy way of life. His background in ranching, rodeo, and bucking stock, combined with his natural talent as a songwriter and performer, makes him a true storyteller who captures the heart and soul of the West in every song.

Bradford burst onto the Texas music scene in 2020 with his debut EP. His breakout single, This Way of Life, was featured on the hit TV series Yellowstone (Season 3, Episode 9), catapulting him into the spotlight. The track became the most Shazammed country song in the U.S. the day after its airing, climbing to #32 on the iTunes Country Top 40 Chart.

Taylor Sheridan, the acclaimed writer, producer, and director behind Yellowstone and its prequels (1883, 1923), as well as Landman and Lioness, played a pivotal role in inspiring Garrett’s music career. Sheridan’s mentorship and belief in Bradford’s authentic storytelling helped reignite his passion and opened doors for his music to reach a wider audience.

In 2023, Bradford was recognized as the songwriting winner of Texas Songwriter U, a prestigious program hosted by Jack Ingram, Liz Rose, and BMI. With over 60,000 monthly streams and a loyal fanbase, Bradford has solidified his place in the world of Texas country music, performing more than 600 shows and keeping dance floors packed across the state.

Now splitting his time between Nashville and Texas, Bradford has been honing his craft with some of the industry’s most respected songwriters, including Leslie Satcher (“Troubadour”/George Strait, “Prove You Wrong”/Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, Maren Morris), Tom Douglas (“House That Built Me”/Miranda Lambert, “We Made Love”/Alabama, “I Run To You”/Lady Antebellum), and Phil O’Donnell (“Give It All We Got Tonight”/George Strait, “Doin’ What She Likes”/Blake Shelton, “She Won’t Be Lonely Long”/Clay Walker).

His ability to blend authentic Texas grit with compelling lyrics and dynamic performances positions Honkiest of Tonkers as a standout project that true country fans can appreciate.
