Country Legend - Lacy J. Dalton!


GEORGIA RADIO - Lacy J. Dalton, legendary singer-songwriter and outlaw country artist, recently spoke with Matt Jolley on Georgia Radio about her latest project. “What Don’t Kill Ya,” is available today and marks the third single, from her upcoming album For The Black Sheep, which is set to come out this summer.






The song combines elements of country and blues and addresses the challenges of life, such as breakups and general hardships, with the message that these difficulties make us stronger. With relatable lyrics like “sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong, you make mistakes, but you go on - and somehow life just rolls along and what don’t kill ya makes you strong,” Dalton has created a song that resonates with many. The single premiered on Cowboys & Indians and is available for streaming here.


Dalton shared her thoughts on the song, saying, “We don’t build strong spiritual muscles without strong challenges in life. These roadblocks and heartaches become catalysts for change and the way forward. What appears to stand in the way becomes the way… ‘What Don’t Kill Ya’ makes you strong.”


Dalton continues to tour year-round and has been added to the 2025 Country Music Cruise lineup, which sails from January 19-26, 2025. The lineup includes John Michael Montgomery, Deana Carter, The Bellamy Brothers, and more. Dalton's illustrious career began in 1979 when she signed with CBS Records as an outlaw country artist. She quickly made a mark with her hit “Crazy Blue Eyes” and went on to have 16 Top 20 songs. She has received several prestigious awards, including a certified Platinum record for her duet with Willie Nelson on his album Half Nelson. Dalton was awarded the highest honor from Strictly Country Magazine and the Spirit Awards for her independent CD Last Wild Place Anthology. She was inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame in 2017 and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Josie Awards.
