After over two decades of making music, one thing has never changed for Casey Donahew – it has always been and always will be about the song. The Lone Star native, whose hometown of Fort Worth, TX has designated October 22 “Casey Donahew Day” and has adopted his song “Stockyards” as the official song, has carved out a sizable niche for himself simply just by doing what he does best and doing it with authenticity. That unwavering trait is what his fans respond to and come back for time and time again. He’s at it again with his latest album, NEVER NOT LOVE YOU, a 17-track project packed chock full of musical tales about cowboys, love, heartbreak, and the eccentricities of life that he fine-tunes into so well and paints oh so vividly in the songs he writes.
The movie and TV industry has taken notice of Donahew’s talent plenty of times over the past few years. He’s had several songs in the popular “Yellowstone” TV drama, and one in the Taylor Sheridan drama “Tulsa King” as well, along with a cut in the 2022 B.J. Novak/Ashton Kutcher film “Vengeance.” The projects are just another outlet for the hardworking singer/songwriter, who continues touring around the country to sellout crowds as well. He finds at 20 plus-years in, the things that continue to carry him through and sustain him are the same things that brought him to the dance in the first place – hard work and dedication to his craft.
“I think I’ve evolved a little bit over time with my writing,” he admits. “I put more thought into it, which may be a detriment sometimes…I’ve had discussions with other artists about that. Sometimes I think I’m trying to be too clever, and I have to remind myself it’s OK to be dumb sometimes and put out something fun -- don’t overthink it. There’s some stuff I did on this record that’s a little outside of my normal, and I just wrote a couple of songs that I thought were a different vibe, and maybe that’s just influenced by life or what I’m listening to, but I think you just get better at it. You do anything for 20 years, hopefully you get better at it… you should, or I don’t know what you’re doing with your free time,” says Donahew, laughing.
