GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-Platinum country group Diamond Rio has announced its forthcoming four-song EP, America Works, arriving November 13 via Rio Records 2.0/One Riot Records. The project kicks off today with the release of its title track, "America Works." Listen / download / watch at this link: https://ffm.to/americaworks This year also marks 35 years since the release of Diamond Rio's newly certified 2X Platinum debut single, "Meet In The Middle," and Platinum-selling debut album, Diamond Rio. More than three decades after making country music history with their first No. 1, the band continues that musical legacy with a new collection of original music. Rio's "Beautiful Mess" and "One More Day" are also newly certified Platinum by RIAA.Written by Diamond Rio's Jimmy Olander and Jeffrey East, "America Works" centers on the idea of Americans showing up for one another through service, sacrifice and simple acts of selflessness.Directed by Diamond Rio drummer Micah Schweinsberg, the video was filmed in part at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and features military personnel along with the band's own family members, friends and crew. The video follows three people at different stages of life as they face personal challenges, give back to others and serve their country, reflecting the song's message of community, service and looking out for one another."We started at Fort Campbell getting shots of our military on the base," says Schweinsberg. "I've always respected our military, but seeing them train and function reinstated my respect for their willingness to sacrifice in order to keep our freedom in this country."Olander says bringing the production in-house and surrounding the band with people close to them made the video especially meaningful."Other than a few soldiers at Fort Campbell, every cast member in the video is connected to us personally," says Olander. "It made the whole thing feel incredibly meaningful."Following "America Works," Diamond Rio will release "Other Side of The World" on October 16. Written by Olander, Marty Roe and Heather Morgan, the deeply personal song was inspired by Roe watching his eldest daughter move to Australia after high school to attend Hillsong College to study music.The song also marks a first for Diamond Rio, featuring Carson McKee on lead vocals, performing the duet alongside Roe.
