If you ever needed a reason to root for country music star Walker Hayes, he’s just delivered a-thousand and one at your doorsteps with his new single ‘Face In The Crowd’. The song pays homage to Hayes’ wife and six children to whom he attributes to his successful ride. With all the glitter and fame that comes with making it big in the industry, Walker Hayes seems to have it all in perspective.
In a society that has gone through moral instability, it is refreshing to hear the song of cheer and admiration for those who love you, and you love them back. To find true love is one of life’s many treasures, and Hayes’ love story began many years ago. Walker and Laney met in elementary school and became high school sweethearts. From there, the two were married in 2004, which has produced six beautiful children. ‘Face In The Crowd,’ is a testament to the true grit of Walker and his family. In the entertainment industry, it is imperative to have a great support system.
Written by Hayes, Tofer Brown and Emily Falvey, ‘Face In The Crowd’’, personifies all the elements of a good song. However, it takes perfect timing and sequence to put it all together. For the production on the track, Hayes and Joe Thibodeau collaborated and the result is a masterpiece.
Fresh off his first Grammy nomination for the viral hit, ‘Fancy Like’ in 2021, Walker has become the pride of Alabama. Since bursting onto the national stage in 2010 with ‘Pants’, Walker Hayes has been on an unbelievable ride. For so many in the industry, fame can come with a negative price that many succumb to; however, Walker has remained consistent and contributes his family and love for Laney as the catalyst. In November 2022, Walker Hayes was nominated for New Artist of the Year at the 56th annual CMA Awards. The running was close, but ultimately the award went to Lainey Wilson. After the award show, Walker Hayes went to his official Instagram account and revealed that ‘Face In The Crowd’ represents what he would have said in his acceptance speech if he had won! Wow, Powerful!
“I can’t say how grateful I am for the last year of my life. It changed a lot for me and my family, but at the end of the day, money doesn’t fix anything,” states Walker Hayes. “We’ve been doing this a long time, and we were happy when we were poor, too. We’re just lucky to have each other, and that’s really all that matters.”
