With Lainey Wilson, Jon Decious and Aaron Raitiere wrote Wilson’s recent chart-topper “4x4xU,” from her 2024 album, Whirlwind. They also wrote the Whirlwind album cut “Ring Finger,” and Decious wrote another song from that album, “Counting Chickens.” Additionally, the two friends have together written songs recorded by Miranda Lambert (“Armadillo”) and Ashley McBryde (“Jesus Jenny”). More of Decious’s songs have been recorded by Tyler Braden, Paul Cauthen, Ben Chapman, Anderson East and Kylie Frey, among others. Raitiere — who released an album of his own, Single Wide Dreamer, in 2022 — won a Grammy for “I’ll Never Love Again,” one of three songs he wrote for the 2018 film "A Star Is Born," starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Brent Cobb, Midland, Muscadine Bloodline, Randy Rogers Band, Koe Wetzel and more have also recorded his songs. Presented in support of the exhibition Lainey Wilson: Tough as Nails.
