Music Minute: Makenzie Phipps - Drag

 Country music singer-songwriter Makenzie Phipps is excited to announce the acoustic video for her current single “Drag” is available now! With a combination of country and blues, Phipps’ unique vocal ability and song delivery offers a modern beat while showcasing a relationship that may not be ideal, yet it’s like a habit you just can’t kick. Written by Cassidy Lynn Alexander, Dan Wilson, and Paul Bogart, and produced by Sal Oliveri (Chris Stapleton, Garth Brooks, Keith Urban), the acoustic video for “Drag” was premiered by Cowboys & Indians and the single is available on all streaming platforms.
