Danny Paisley Releases New Single, Another Long Sleepless Night,
Bluegrass mainstay and four-time IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year Danny Paisley just released his new single, Another Long Sleepless Night, available on all digital and streaming platforms via Pinecastle Records. The track is the latest offering from his acclaimed album, Bluegrass State of Mind and continues to showcase Paisley’s unmistakable blend of traditional grit and heartfelt storytelling.
Written by Rick Lang and Jon Goldfine, Another Long Sleepless Night is a hard-hitting, lonesome Bluegrass tune that leans into themes of heartbreak, longing and self-reflection. Driven by Paisley’s raw and emotive vocal delivery, Another Long Sleepless Night captures the kind of late-night solitude that has long defined the genre’s most powerful moments. It’s backed by an all-star group of musicians joined alongside Josh Swift on Dobro, Darrin Vincent on double bass, Scott Vestal on 5-string banjo, Andy Leftwich on guitar, fiddle and mandolin, Ryan Paisley on mandolin and vocals and Greg Cole on percussion.
Another Long Sleepless Night follows a string of successful releases from the album, including the chart-topping Till Lonesome Comes Around, while the Gospel standout Two Old Church Pews has also resonated strongly with audiences, recently reaching No. 1 on the Bluegrass Today Gospel Weekly Airplay Chart.
With Bluegrass State of Mind, Paisley continues to cement his legacy as one of the most authentic voices in Bluegrass music. The album marks his first full-length release since 2021 and arrives following a triumphant recovery from throat cancer, an experience that has only deepened the prowess of his performances. The 10-track collection blends hard-driving traditional arrangements with moments of reflection, faith and resilience.
Paisley’s band, The Southern Grass, has long been a cornerstone of his sound and success. Carrying forward a family tradition that began with his father, Bob Paisley, Danny has spent decades honing a style rooted in authenticity and tradition. Alongside his son Ryan Paisley, the group continues to deliver powerful live performances across the country, connecting with audiences through their timeless sound. They remain one of the most respected acts in Bluegrass today, balancing heritage with a fresh, modern edge.
