“I’ll Take You (The Taylor Gold Acoustic Version)” takes the budding star back to his roots and will be part of a new EP, The Taylor Gold Acoustic Versions, slated for Summer 2026.
“I started playing acoustic guitar when I was six, long before ever picking up an electric. And after playing ‘I’ll Take You’ solo acoustic for my friends at radio these past few months, I wanted to give the fans this version of the song as well,” says Gallaher.
“This track is part of a bigger project called The Taylor Gold Acoustic Versions, which includes songs from the Time album in acoustic form. I’ve always been a Taylor guy and when I got my hands on their new Taylor Gold Label model, the guitar resonated with me on a whole new level in-studio and live, sparking the idea of The Taylor Gold Versions EP.
Named one of Taste of Country’s “RISERS: 2026 Artists to Watch,” Gallaher recently released his high-energy, 13-track sophomore album, Time, to critical acclaim, with Country Swag declaring, “Ben Gallaher is ready for the spotlight” and Country Evolution proclaiming, “Ben Gallaher takes his artistry to the next level.”
The lead single from the album, “I’ll Take You” was recently named one of Rolling Stone’s all-genre “Songs You Need to Know” as well as a Top 5 “Hear Now” track of the week by Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now.
Gallaher recently deep-dived with Billboard for its “Makin’ Tracks” column, detailing how “I’ll Take You” was transformed in-studio from a slow-tempo, lovelorn ballad into what the outlet calls a “pulsing, good-natured take on commitment.”
The track has also been named one of Holler’s “Best Country Songs” and one of Country Swag’s “New Country Songs You Need to Know This Week.” Southbound 615 named Time its “Record of the Week” while CountryLine named Gallaher “One to Watch” upon the album’s release.
