Chris Janson didn’t have to look very far for the inspiration for his new track, “Easy to Love, Harder to Hold.” It was his wife, Kelly Roland.

He co-wrote and co-produced the new tune, which is his first new music since August’s Wild Horses album.

“‘Easy to Love, Harder to Hold’ is about a free and charismatic girl living her best life!” Chris says. “This is exactly how I felt the moment I met my wife, Kelly. We actually wrote this together with the late Pat Bunch.”

The new track follows his radio single, “Me & A Beer,” which is just one spot away from the top 20.

Chris’ Wild Horses Untamed Tour rolls on Friday night in Effingham, Illinois.
