Marianas Trench Frontman Drops Horn-Filled Solo Song ‘Lady Mine’ With Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger
Marianas Trench frontman Josh Ramsay is gearing up for a solo album and he's called in a number of his peers to help him out. Ramsay is certain to liven up you day with the newly released "Lady Mine," which arrives with an assist from Nickelback's Chad Kroeger.
Opening with gritty guitar, a steady building drum backing and yes, a full-on horn section leading into some serious bluesy swagger-filled belting by Ramsay, "Lady Mine" should perk your ears right the hell up! And check out the song's harmonica solo taking things up another notch as well. The song serves as the lead single from Ramsay's self-touting solo album, The Josh Ramsay Show, which is expected to arrive in full next year.
Ramsay says, "Each track on this album is a different genre. For 'Lady Mine,' I was going for a fun, throwback '70s style rock, drawing on the same sorts of influences that Lenny Kravitz might do. At least that's what I set out to do. What I ended up with was something kind of crazy. You know - like if the '70s had been on crack. Once Chad added his vocals on there, it got even crazier. But so much fun.”

Josh Ramsay Featuring Chad Kroeger, "Lady Mine" Lyrics
God Damn, I’ve been running, taking me forever now
These hands, shakes coming, only you can cool me down
I can’t leave well enough alone, I bet you must have noticed
And I’m not the type you bring back home
I’m the type that you go home withTwo shots for the fever
One drink of you and I’m doneFill me
Any less of you will kill me
Nobody but lady mine
A taste and I’m done
Fill me
Any less of you will kill me
Nobody but lady mine
Don’t you look, don’t you look
Like a long lost kiss goodbye
Don’t waste your time, now lady of mine
It’s just a hit till we’re lit then we’re doing just fineThis chase, ears ringing, I love it baby when you tease
One taste and I’m singing 3-part harmony
It gets so hot, I know you’ve got the last drop that could lift me
The tequila’s gone before too long but sex tastes best with whiskyTwo shots for the fever
One drink of you and I’m doneFill me
Any less of you will kill me
Nobody but lady mine
A taste and I’m done
Fill me
Any less of you will kill me
Nobody but lady mine
Don’t you look, don’t you look
Like a long lost kiss goodbye
Don’t waste your time, little lady of mine
It’s just a hit till we’re lit then we’re doing just fineDone
Fill me
Any less of you will kill me
Nobody but lady mineDone
Fill me
Any less of you will kill me
Nobody but lady mine
Don’t you look, don’t you look
Like a long lost kiss goodbye
Don’t waste your time, little lady of mine
It’s just a hit till we’re lit then we’re doing just fineDon’t you look, don’t you look
Like a long lost kiss goodbyeDon’t you look, don’t you look
Like a long lost kiss goodbye
Lady Mine
Josh Ramsay Featuring Chad Kroeger, "Lady Mine"
Kroeger is just one of the collaborators joining Ramsay on the forthcoming album. He's also worked with Default's Dallas Smith, JUNO winner Serena Ryder, Fefe Dobson, DJ Sharkpocalypse, Fionn, Ria Mae, Sara Ramsay and Tyler Shaw, bringing plenty of anticipation for what's to come.
Like many artists, Ramsay sought a creative output to fill the time during the pandemic and it led him down a path to creating a solo album that allowed him to write in as many different genres as possible.
"My goal was to try and do as many genres as possible, so it feels kind of like a variety show. I see it as my ‘calling card’ – not just as a songwriter, but as a producer and arranger,” says the singer, who is planning an eclectic 18-track release. Though all the details for the new album have yet to arrive, Ramsay has issued a new teaser trailer for The Josh Ramsay Show album that can be viewed below.
