Kezia Gill Strikes Gold with Fiery New Single Dublin’s Outta Whiskey

Review By Glen Parkes

When Kezia Gill sings, people listen—and with her brand new single Dublin’s Outta Whiskey, the UK’s queen of country & Americana has unleashed one of her boldest statements yet. The first taste of her forthcoming album All On Red, and her debut release since signing with Snakefarm/Universal, the track is a stomping, swaggering revenge anthem that demands attention from the first note.

Co-written in Nashville with Matt Stell and Clint Lagerberg, the song brims with grit and attitude. It’s a barroom stomper wrapped in a darker, rockier edge, with Gill’s trademark powerhouse vocals soaring above driving rhythms and whiskey-soaked grit. With a lyrical sting that flips heartbreak into empowerment, Dublin’s Outta Whiskey is the ultimate battle cry for the scorned but unbroken.

Fans first caught wind of the track at this year’s C2C Festival, where Gill’s set on the BBC Radio 2 Indigo Stage became a true “were you there?” moment—one that critics called career-defining. The live energy translates perfectly into the recorded version, thanks to production from Nashville’s Alyssa Bonagura and an all-star cast of session players with résumés that read like a Hall of Fame (Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Luke Bryan, and more).

With the All On Red headline tour set for February—and Bonagura joining as special guest—Gill looks poised to cement her reputation as one of the UK’s finest storytellers and performers. If this single is the opening hand, the album is sure to be a winning bet.
