"Chris Chitsey, country music trailblazer, continues to redefine his artistry with 'Chasing Taillights,' a track that masterfully fuses his Texas country roots with a modern country rock edge. With its gripping lyrics, driving instrumentation and Chitsey's signature smooth vocals, this track is an undeniable standout in his storied career. Chitsey's vocal performance is one of the song's greatest strengths. His voice carries just the right amount of grit to appeal to country rock enthusiasts. He delivers every line with conviction, capturing both the heartbreak and acceptance that underpin the song's narrative. His ability to convey raw emotion while maintaining a sense of control is a testament to his experience and artistry. While Chitsey has long been a staple in country music, "Chasing Taillights" positions him as a contender for the country rock spotlight and will resonate with fans of artists like Jason Aldean, Eric Church and Chris Stapleton. It's a reminder that Chitsey isn't just resting on his laurels, he's continuing to evolve, taking risks that pay off in a big way."

"Chitsey proves once again that his voice is one of the most compelling in country music today. Chitsey's voice deep and confident, yet sensitive, is the perfect vehicle for these poignant lyrics. 'Chasing Taillights' is a song that will stay with you long after the music fades. For Chitsey, 2025 is shaping up to be another banner year."

"In an era where country music often leans into broad, familiar tropes of heartbreak and longing, Chitsey's latest single, 'Chasing Taillights,' offers a rare moment of nuanced vulnerability and raw emotional honesty. It's a powerful meditation on the inevitable dissolution of love, delivered with Chitsey's signature depth and grace. Chitsey's authenticity shines through, inviting listeners into his emotional space, even as he contemplates the painful act of letting go. With 'Chasing Taillights,' Chitsey solidifies his place as one of country music's most emotionally resonant and enduring talents, really setting him apart in the world of country music today."

"Chitsey's latest single, 'Chasing Taillights,' is a masterclass in the art of heartbreak, delivered through the seasoned voice of one of country music's most enduring talents. Chitsey knows how to make every word count, and here, his vocals convey the inner turmoil of a man at the crossroads of love and loss. Chitsey's vocal performance allows the lyrics to take center stage while still providing an instrumental backdrop that feels both timeless and relevant. The fiddle work of 5X CMA & 2X ACM Musician of the Year, Jenee Fleenor, ads a layer of melancholy that deepens the song's emotional impact."

"Chris Chitsey, the native Texan country star who's been topping charts for decades, is back with a powerful new track, 'Chasing Taillights.' The chorus is where the emotional punch really lands and the metaphor of chasing taillights is genius. In the music video, shot at Chitsey's very own Los Trece, TX, the mood of the song is brought to life and creates the perfect backdrop for the song's theme of nastalgia and farewell. For fans of Chitsey and lovers of heart-wrenching country ballads, this track is a must listen. Chitsey proves once again why he remains a powerhouse in the genre.

"Chitsey's strength has always been his ability to tell a story & here he does so with disarming clarity. While Chitsey's delivery is smooth and measured, there's an unmistakable ache in his voice that elevates the song. He sings like someone who has lived these lyrics. It's tempting to compare Chitsey to other artist navigating the intersection of heartbreak & resilience, Chris Stapleton comes to mind, but 'Chasing Taillights' isn't trying to emulate anyone else. It's a song that feels timeless in its own right, a reminder that the best country music doesn't need to shout to make itself heard. Fans of the introspective warmth of George Strait's ballads will feel right at home with 'Chasing Taillights.' Chris Chitsey has delivered something quietly profound - proof that sometimes the simplest stories are the ones that stay with us the longest."

"Vocally, Chitsey's smooth, evocative delivery is striking. His voice carries a sincerity that's reminiscent of Taylor Swift's early vulnerability, but with the maturity and weight of someone who's been in the game for decades. He's not reinventing the wheel, but he's perfecting a formula that works: heartfelt lyrics, dynamic production and a voice that connects."

- Anne Hollister, Music Week News

https://musicweeknews.com/chris-chitsey-is-back-with-new-single-video/

"Chitsey continues his remarkable career with his latest release, 'Chasing Taillights,' which exemplifies his knack for delivering relatable themes wrapped in an irresistible blend of heartfelt storytelling and contemporary country melodies. Chitsey's voice, smooth yet infused with a tinge of sadness, captures the perfect balance between vulnerability and strength... a hallmark of his style. What sets 'Chasing Taillights' apart is its ability to feel fresh while staying grounded in traditional country values. The result is a song that feels timeless yet timely. A testament to Chitsey’s versatility and ability to evolve without losing his identity. Chitsey demonstrates once again why he remains a force in country music after decades in the industry. As Chitsey continues to cement his legacy, this song stands as a shining example of his enduring artistry and ability to connect with audiences on a deeply human level."
