Alternative country artist Lori Rayne releases her new EP ‘I Don’t Drink’, now available across digital platforms. The project captures Rayne in sharp focus, blending Southern storytelling with heavier guitars and an alternative-country edge. Unfiltered and self-assured, the EP reflects an artist fully comfortable carving her own path. It lands as a confident, energized release that makes its point without compromise.
“I Don’t Drink is the most honest reflection of who I am as an artist,” Rayne says. “It holds all the styles and influences that shape my sound and personality.” The title track flips expectations of a typical night out, celebrating connection, movement, and release without alcohol at the center. Driven by thick guitars and a jamming country groove, the song plays like a line-dance-ready anthem built for packed floors and loud speakers. The response to the track has been immediate and enthusiastic, with its bold spirit and lived-in confidence standing out.
Across the EP, Rayne balances edge with range. “The One That Ran Away” leans into heartbreak and unresolved emotion, while “To Be Country” offers a grounded nod to her roots. “Where Do We Go” pushes further into rock-tinged territory, letting the guitars lead. A stripped-down cover of “Jolene,” originally made famous by Dolly Parton, closes the EP on a strikingly personal note, spotlighting Rayne’s voice and perspective with nothing in the way.
