Sebastian Bach will be releasing his new country music single “Battle of the Bottle” to radio. The song was co-written with Nashville songwriters Jeffrey Steele and Vicky McGehee, and was produced by John Rich. There is a music video directed by Wayne Isham.

Host of Gone Country 2 John Rich named Sebastian Bach the winner “because of his ability to connect to his audience and his lyrics”, which are essential in country music:

“Sebastian put his real life experiences into his song. ‘Battle with the Bottle’ deals with the challenges he faces in his life on a daily basis, and when your music imitates your life, that’s where great country music happens. He truly understands what makes a great country song, and his singing ability is still off the charts. I’m very proud of him ‘going country’!”

Quite a lot different than this, hey?
