Koe Wetzel & Corey Kent Hit A “Rocky Mountain Low” In New Collab
Hitting a “Rocky Mountain Low.”
Today, Koe Wetzel and Corey Kent released a new collaboration that finds them in heartbreak following the end of a relationship, and the production has a little groove and soul that works really well with Wetzel’s twangy Texas vocals.
Kent co-wrote the song with Austin Goodloe, Michael Tyler and Thomas Archer, and lyrically, it makes sense to have Koe on this one because he does sad songs so well, and Kent says he penned Rocky Mountain Low with Koe in mind:
“‘Rocky Mountain Low’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever recorded. It has all the rock and roll elements I grew up on and all the country influences I love.
I asked my buddy Koe to jump on the second verse, and he was the person I pictured when writing that part, so having him on the track just makes it feel even more authentic.”
Koe says the two of them have wanted to work together for a while now, and they finally found the right song to do so:
“Corey and I have talked about working together for a while now, and this song finally gave us the chance. I heard it once and knew it was the one. I’m really proud of how it came together.”
It’s a cool song, and I’m sure Koe’s fans will be excited to hear some new music from him, because his most recent album 9 Lives was released in 2024, which led to him scoring his first-career #1 hit on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph. In terms of his personal life, Koe also welcomed his first child, Woods Madison Wetzel, with longtime girlfriend, Bailey Fisher, back on May 23rd.
He’s been busy with a newborn, but over the last month or so, he’s been teasing new music, so it’s likely that an album announcement will be coming pretty soon. In November, he shared six teasers of new songs he’s been working on, which will likely all be included on a forthcoming (unofficially announced) album.
Koe has released a few singles since he put out 9 Lives, though, including “Surrounded” and most recently “Werewolf,” though it’s unclear if those will be part of the tracklist on this next record. He’s been quieter than usual this year in terms of his musical output, I’m sure that has a lot to do with becoming a father, but I know fans will be excited to hear he has a new project on the way and my guess is that it’s slated for release in early 2026.
