The bearded country star rolled out a brand-new tune, “Second One to Know,” and the ripping, rocking future hit matched his vocal grit note for note. Showcasing plenty of his masterful shredding on the guitar, and, of course, his beautifully ethereal backup singer, wife Morgane, the tune begged, “If you ever change your mind, wanna leave my love behind, let me be the second one to know.”
