“The Bet” is a single released on August 23, 2025 but written all the way back in 2017. Brian Douglas Phillips was at the helm yet again and put about all the pretty onto this track. That pedal steel is out of this world!! Take a listen and don’t forget to share it and stream it on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, YouTube and all the rest - it really helps me out! Bonus: you can see a video of the very first performance of this song back in 2017 if you click here!

About “Lonesome Soul” - After nearly a decade since 2016’s “Whiskey & Cigars” (recorded in 2012), Kris Collins has released a new 6-song EP entitled “Lonesome Soul.” Brian Douglas Phillips was once again at the helm but this time they made due without the Company Men (they’ll be back soon - promise!). What came of it is a beautiful new collection of songs including a beautiful tune (“Love You More Now”) inspired and co-written by a member of Kris’ church celebrating the beauty of marriage. It also includes the very first version of the future title track of the upcoming full band album - “Born Famous.” Enjoy!

Physical copies now available.
