Shane Yellowbird Releases New Single: Pickup Truck

Is there anything more country than a song about a pickup truck?

Fast-rising country star Shane Yellowbird puts a fresh spin on the traditional country theme with his newest release aptly titled Pickup Truck.

"It's a fun country song that takes a playful stab at cheesy and unsuccessful pick up lines," says Yellowbird.

The Ponoka-native's charm and sense of humour shine through the light-hearted lyrics and smooth traditional country style.

The song already created a buzz while Yellowbird opened for Emerson Drive on their recent 21-stop tour across Canada. Thousands of fans recently joined Shane on the chorus of Pickup Truck and roared their approval.

"Pickup Truck was also the most asked about song when audiences gathered at the merchandise tables after the show," commented Yellowbird.

The tour was Yellowbird's first cross-Canada trek and first opportunity for many of his fans to see him perform live. In one of the largest venues on the tour, a hockey arena in Kamloops, Yellowbird experienced a rarity for an opening act… a standing ovation.

"It was an incredible feeling," Yellowbird says. "We sold out of all the merchandise we had that night."

Pickup Truck is the third release off his debut album "Life Is Calling My Name". It follows Shane's Top 10 hit, "They're All About You" which was one of the hottest songs in 2006, and "Beautiful Concept" which won for single and video of the year at the Aboriginal People's Choice Music Awards.

Pickup Truck will hit the airwaves next week and the video, shot in Vancouver last month, will debut on CMT in the coming weeks.
