NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 13, 2025) – Neo-traditional country star Chancey Williams returns with an ambling ode to a cowboy’s religion,“Pearl Snap Preacher,” available today on all digital streaming platforms. The tune, written by Cody Robbins, Kayley Bishop, and Nick Deleo, captures the spirituality that accompanies the cowboy lifestyle, noting that while he may not be in a church pew every Sunday, he’s a “pastor in the pasture” any given day of the week.

“I think a lot of farmers and ranchers and people who come from rural areas will especially relate to ‘Pearl Snap Preacher’ and see the character in themselves or people they know,” Williams told Wide Open Country of the song. “I’m definitely who I am because of both of my parents. Their unwavering faith, not only in God, but also in each other, and in the benefits of hard work and always trying to do the right thing, is just part of who I am now. I don’t really wear my faith on my sleeve, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t with me everywhere I go.”
Loosely based on Williams’ own father, Dennis Williams, the accompanying music video – also available today – features Dennis, offering up a sentimental glimpse into Williams’ personal life and love for his faith and family.
“We had a blast making the video for ‘Pearl Snap Preacher,’” Williams told Holler. of the cinematic venture. “My dad is the star of it! He does go to church on a regular basis but, in other ways, is very much like the guy in the song. A lot of who I am as a person, I learned from watching my dad and working on the ranch with him, as much as listening to him or specifically what he said.”
This is Williams’ fourth single release of 2025 – previously, he released his humorous, cautionary tale “Take One For The Team,” and “Miles On Me,” “a song that blends restless wanderlust with deep emotional weight,”(Fandom Daily). Channeling a rough and tumblin’ cowboy who’s been through it, “Miles On Me” depicts a worn out and weathered persona that’s been through the trials of life. In the official music video for “Miles On Me,” Williams finds solace and perseverance via the love of his companion over a catchy, smooth melody and drum-driven beat.
In January, the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame inductee released “The Ballad of Uncle Don,” notably “a compelling meld of authentic storytelling that infuses his family’s experiences, alongside a heady mix of country tinged with rock influences, and Williams’ undeniably country voice” (Billboard). His memorable lyrics and rustic, twangy sound paint the picture of an accomplished “Oklahoma redneck” who was “hell on boots with a cowboy’s heart.” The video for the tune landed on CMT, where it went #1 as part of CMT’s 12 Pack series for five consecutive weeks.
Williams was recently announced as a mainstage performer for this year’s Cheyenne Frontier Days – he’ll take the historic stage ahead of iconic duo (and fellow Hall of Famers) Brooks & Dunn on July 23. He’s currently out on his Miles On Me Tour, which kicked off in May and goes through the end of July.
