Alex Miller Keeps Classic Country Flame Burning With Alan Jackson Song 'Secondhand Smoke'

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, June 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Neo-traditionalist Alex Miller is keeping the classic Country flame burning with the Billy Jam Records’ release of “Secondhand Smoke,” available for purchase now. Written by Alan Jackson and Jim McBride and released previously by Jackson as an album track, the tune is a twangy tale of heartbreak on the horizon. The signs are as obvious as a five-alarm fire:

You told me that flame burned out a long, long time ago
Now he’s back in town and I’m afraid that’s way too close
’Cause he still gets you hotter than a fish fry in July

. . . So, I’ll pretend that I don’t care
And leave before I choke
I won’t let you kill me with that
Secondhand Smoke (McBride/Jackson)

Writer McBride is excited to have Alex’s attention on the song. “He knows where he belongs in the music world and is doing his part to keep traditional Country music alive. I love his version of “Secondhand Smoke." One of my favorite ‘children’ has finally found a great home.”

For Miller, the chance to record a song written by one of his heroes was irresistible. “There’s not a Country singer alive today who doesn’t owe a tip of their hat to Alan Jackson. When I realized it was from his catalog and co-written with hitmaker Jim McBride, I just had to cut it,” Alex states.

“Secondhand Smoke” is an up-tempo danceable dream of a record that’s sure to have boots hittin’ the floor wherever it’s played. Opening with sizzling electric guitar licks and a slippery steel guitar, the sparks begin to fly with Alex’s energetic vocal fanning the flames. It’s a hit at Miller’s shows and fans will have ample opportunities to see the Kentucky wonder live this summer at these upcoming shows.
