David Nail recently released a new single, “Best of Me” and is giving fans an intimate look into his special day with his longtime wife, Catherine. The heartfelt video showcases Nail’s distinct vocals and emotive delivery with accompanying shots from the pair’s 2009 wedding day and current footage from a day spent at the Travellers Rest Historic House in Nashville, Tenn.

This new song finds Nail reminiscing about asking his father-in-law for his future wife’s hand in marriage and reflecting on the promise he made back then to give her the best of him, forever. Watch the “Best of Me” music video here!

I don’t have much money
And I don’t have a ring
But what I’ve got’s a whole lot better
Than all those fancy things
I swear to you I’ll love her
Until my dying day
I’ll give her the best of me
If you’ll give her away

“I mean, obviously this song is about (Catherine), but I really wanted it to be a tribute to my father-in-law, too, and how much I really wanted to get his approval. It was more than just wanting his blessing — I really wanted him to believe in me. I wanted him to believe in us,” Nail told Taste of Country.

The chart-topping singer has more new music due out this year and has new stops on his tour being added constantly, including a stop at Nashville’s 50th CMA Fest. Stay up to date with David Nail at davidnail.com.

About David Nail
Hailing from Kennett, Missouri, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases, I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I’m A Fire and Fighter, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known, MCA Nashville, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental illness and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date, David Nail & The Well Ravens, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh, Mother, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail plans on releasing more music, leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words, “My philosophy has always been, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” Find more at www.davidnail.com.
