Ernest Has Worked With The Best In Country Music
When he’s not writing and singing his songs, Ernest is busy writing hits for other artists. Nashville is a hub for songwriters, as someone can break into the industry in a big way if they get a major artist to record a song they wrote. For Ernest, he has done that a few times over.
The list of people Ernest has worked with, collaborated with, or written for is a who’s who of today’s biggest country music stars. Some of Ernest’s most popular songwriting credits include songs for Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, and more.
A songwriting credit that county fans would easily recognize is Jelly Roll’s number one hit, Son of a Sinner, which Ernest contributed his songwriting prowess to.

Ernest Teases His Latest Collab With Lukas Nelson
By this point in his career, Ernest has established himself as the go-to hitmaker if artists are looking to top the charts. He recently teased his newest collaboration with Lukas Nelson, and it’s sure to be a hit, just like the rest of his catalog.
Lukas Nelson is the son of country legend Willie Nelson. So, this is a winning combination no matter what. Nelson is usually busy fronting his country rock band based out of Los Angeles. Clearly, something inspired him to work with Ernest, and listeners are already glad that the pair collaborated.
The new song is called Why Dallas. It’s got an old-time feel to it that is already resonating with country fans. Swing elements mingle with acoustic guitars, steel guitars, and even a string section. The teaser for Why Dallas is short, but, it’s more than enough to get listeners buzzing for what they can expect.
