The Country Music Superstar (Trademark Pending)
“Relentlessly Entertaining.” - Rolling Stone Country
Dale Hollow is a man. A very handsome, modest, brilliant, and talented man, at that - and Hollow will be the first to tell you.
Dale Hollow is also a man of many (self-ascribed) nicknames.
The Country Music Superstar (Trademark Pending), Yourstruly, Hack of the Year, and in the big ‘26, Dale Hollow presents the latest and greatest in his ever growing oeuvre (ten dollar word) of monikers: The Country Music King of Queens.
To mark almost four years since Hollow moved from his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee to New York City, Dale Hollow has set out to assert his domain as the preeminent country artist in the greater New York Metropolitan’s burgeoning country scene with his upcoming anthology EP series, Country Music King of Queens.
CMKoQ is a four part series of songs and ballads exploring the ups and downs (very evenly distributed between the two, but mostly ups) of life as a Z-list country star, cost of living (topical! But in like, a funny way), love (always important), loss, and the general fish out of water somewhere between Midnight Cowboy and Paris, Texas with Hollow’s usual sense of twisted earnestness and irony.
The first installment in the series, Country Music King of Queens Vol. 1 releases on January 30, 2026 with subsequent Volumes planned to release throughout the rest of the year.

“Almost Always, Never Nothing, Never Something”
There's two people that are hard to beat
The baby daddy and their first love
It's a losing game before starting
Been busting my ass for a summer of love,
I've only three speeds: here, there, and gone
So for now I'm just foolin, while I'm crashing out
But this L ain't a loss, it's a lesson
When things fall apart, they fall into place,
I'm staring down a night I'll pretend to forget
Maybe lover boy ain't as good as it sounds
Almost always, Never Nothing, Never Something
Be that as it may, what the hell am I supposed to do
With all this love, when everyone
Wants their own sweet summer darling
Still It's Every man for himself and god,
She's against all
So Prayers for the bartenders, who fall too hard
Lord why'd you go making us so soft
Cause If birth is a curse, existence a prison, then if love is release, it's the reason for living
Does that sound dramatic? Loving day by day
Almost always, never nothing, never something
Can Call this what you want
Before it burns out
Almost always, never nothing, never something
Almost always, never nothing, never something
Almost always, never nothing, never something
Almost always, never nothing, never something
