Dustin Lynch Reveals Cover Art and Track Listing For Fourth Studio Album, TULLAHOMA

With anticipation building toward Dustin Lynch’s bold self-portrait of a fourth album, TULLAHOMA (out January 17), the Broken Bow Records star is revealing more of the big picture.

Giving insight into a project far more personal than anything he’s previously done, the hitmaker is unveiling his LP’s full track list and album art – just as “Ridin’ Roads” officially rolls into Country radio’s Top 5. Eleven fresh tracks find the Tullahoma, TN, native not just reconnecting with his roots, but digging deeper into the man and artist he’s become.

Pre-order TULLAHOMA now and get the torchy album opener “Momma’s House” instantly.

“Every song on TULLAHOMA, there’s a reason it’s there,” Lynch explains, still building a career which has already produced six #1s, six GOLD or PLATINUM certifications and membership in the historic Grand Ole Opry.

“A lot of that points back to the people who raised me, and growing up with a lifestyle where I could go outside and have fun, explore and try new things in the great outdoors,” he says. “It’s kind of about being that kid and learning all those things. That’s my story, but I think we all can relate to the kid who’s discovering, the kid who’s figuring out love for the first time, all that good stuff.”

Featuring equal parts “good stuff” nostalgia and gritty, trial-by-fire realism (plus a deep sense of pride), each track is wrapped in a new, undeniably Country sound – yet in typical Lynch fashion, it’s also still very much of the moment.

Lauren Alaina appears for a special collaboration and Lynch’s TULLAHOMA co-writers include Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson, Ashley Gorley and Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley, among others, while outside cuts were supplied by the likes of Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey, the late producer/songwriter busbee and more.

Marking eight years of hits since first signing with Broken Bow Records – Lynch describes TULLAHOMA as perhaps the most authentic work of his career … but also says he’s not done yet.

“In a weird way, I feel like I’m just getting started,” he admits. “I feel like we’re just approaching the launching pad, and I feel like we have songs that will take us to the next level.”

Following the release of TULLAHOMA, Lynch will take his exciting new material on the road, set to headline the STAY COUNTRY TOUR 2020 starting January 30 in Detroit, MI, with Travis Denning in support. Tickets are available now, and a portion of each sale will benefit The Cowboys and Angels Fund – established by Lynch in 2018 and administered by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to support various philanthropic causes including an intentional focus on children’s charities.

Teaming up for the first time, the two  artists debuted their new collaboration, “Just the Way,” which will be available digitally on Friday, December 13.

Parmalee kicked off the halftime show with their rousing “Musta Had a Good Time” before Blanco joined the Country quartet onstage for the world debut of “Just the Way,” followed by everybody (including the Texans cheerlearders and mascot) launched into a performance of “The Git Up,” which was the top selling Country song in the US for 13 weeks.

“Hearing ‘Just the Way,’ we knew it was a special song. As a band, we just needed that fifth element to help us deliver the message. We’ve been friends with Blanco for a few years now and have been waiting on the right song to collab on,” said Matt Thomas of Parmalee. “Not only is he a great singer but he’s all about purpose, positivity and meaning.  For us, it was a no-brainer to get him on this song.”

“Just the Way,” written by Parmalee’s own Matt Thomas as well as Kevin Bard and Nolan Sipe is upbeat song with a catchy melody that fits the content of the track. The new collaboration praises folks for being true to themselves and encourages self-acceptance with lyrics like, “I love you just the way God made you, girl, he don’t make mistakes. What you call your imperfections I call beautiful babe.”

“I thought the message of this song was so beautiful when I first heard it, “ said, Blanco Brown. “I love the way that it is filled with positivity and celebrates life’s imperfections. I appreciate Parmalee for including me on this track and helping to share purpose with the world.”

Carrie Underwood Releases “Drinking Alone” Music Video

Carrie Underwood has unveiled the music video for her latest single, “Drinking Alone.” Directed by Randee St. Nicholas, the video delivers a sultry vibe set in an underground nightclub where two strangers identify with their common ground of suffering from a breakup, but in the end do not go home together.

“I feel like the title could have gone to a very like sad emotional place, but me being me, I still wanted to have that strong kind of character in there. So, I love the fact that this is a breakup song,” says Carrie. “‘I’m here at the bar drinking my pain away. You and me can hang out. Why should we both be lamenting over lost love separately? We’re both here doing the same thing. Let’s just do that together.’”

“I love that the character, I was like I don’t want her like going home with him. I don’t want any of that.” Underwood continues. “I just want it to be like, ‘Okay we’ll just hang out. We’ll drink. We’ll maybe share a corner booth kiss.’ But it’s just more about that night and that moment and that Band-Aid and then going your separate ways. ‘Like this isn’t a thing. I’m not looking to start a new relationship. I’m out of this one. Let’s just let whatever this is be what this is right now.’”

“Drinking Alone,” co-written by Underwood, David Garcia and Brett James, is serving as a solid follow up to Carrier’s recent No. 1 hit single, “Southbound.” Both “Drinking Alone” and “Southbound” can be found on Carrie Underwood’s latest album, CRY PRETTY, available now by clicking here.
