‘Tis the season for holiday album announcements, and we all know the season just wouldn’t be the same without the smooth vocals of Mr. Christmas himself, Brett Eldredge. He solidified himself as an integral part of the holiday season with the release of his 2016 Christmas album, Glow, and is spreading more Christmas cheer this year with a brand new project, Mr. Christmas!
The album will include 2 never-before-heard originals, including the title track.
Brett says, “‘Mr. Christmas’ is something that I’ve been planning out for quite a while. This album is so much fun and full of joy and magic. From the album cover, you can find the magic of Mr. Christmas standing in the windowfront, looking out just like the old stores on the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City and people passing by in the window. We captured that nostalgic, classic feel that Christmas brings and mixed it with the soulful side of my music influences. It’s got a lot of heart and magic – it’s a special one for people to hear.”
The album, Mr. Christmas is due out October 22, and is available for pre-order now.
Along with the new holiday album, Brett is hitting the road to spread holiday cheer on the Glow LIVE holiday tour.
Brett is very happy to get the holiday season going this year after missing it in 2020, “Getting to take ‘Glow LIVE’ on the road again after unfortunately having to miss it last year gives me so much joy, especially knowing that this tour and this music could bring a lot of joy to a lot of people that need it right now. My hope is that attending these shows with friends and family can be a tradition people look forward to every year for many years to come. I cannot wait to get back out there because performing these songs makes me so happy and I just hope to share that feeling with everyone in the audience as well.”

Carly Pearce‘s album 29: Written In Stone is available now!
Talking about her new album, Carly says, “This project means so much to me on so many different levels. Number one it’s the first time that I’ve written all of the songs and penned every single story myself. You know, losing busbee (producer) was such a career moment for me of trying to figure out what am I gonna do next. And I feel like what this first set of seven songs has done for me is really open the door to the kind of country music that I always wanted to make, the kind of country music that I grew up on in Kentucky and the kind of country music that I’ll make forever.”
That first set of 7 songs came out earlier this year, as a collection called 29 – which is now nominated for CMA Album Of The Year.
When she first started writing the songs for 29, Carly wasn’t sure what it would become – but after working through those first tracks, Carly knew she had more to share. “I don’t think I really knew even what I was writing when I started. I think that I knew I had to get some things off my chest, and never thought that people would connect with it as they did. But as they were connecting and as my career was kind of taking off, I felt so inspired to keep going, and I think they finish out this chapter of my life. I think they finish out what the year 29 was for me. It was a really defining year for not only myself personally, but also for my music. And I think that seeing the reaction of the first seven, I felt so inspired in the midst of that to keep going and to keep writing until I felt like it was finished, and now I feel like I can close that chapter.”

Carly says that as you listen to the 15-tracks on 29: Written In Stone, you can almost hear a musical roadmap of the direction her life has gone in, “As I look at these 15 songs that I wrote, I feel like you can very much hear the different stages of…kind of where I was at each moment, and ultimately seeing that I got out on the other side better.”
Carly knows that while this is her story, she couldn’t have completed this musical journey alone, “To the incredible songwriters, producers and musicians who helped bring this project to life… thank you for helping me find my way and make the album I moved to Nashville to make. It’s truly an honor and a dream come true to have had the chance to collaborate with y’all.”
29: Written in Stone from Carly Pearce is available now and it includes her duet with Ashley McBryde, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl”
Scotty McCreery‘s album Same Truck is available now!
Talking about the difference between his new project, and his 2018 album Seasons Change, Scotty says, “My last album was about me as a young man getting ready to get married. Same Truck is me three years later, taking a moment to acknowledge where I am now as a 27-year-old, happily married man, sharing both what I’ve learned and where I want to go.”
His fans have watched Scotty grow up, both personally and professionally, , since his late teens. With every year, and project, that passes, Scotty finds that he can tackle more and different subject matters that he wouldn’t have been able to, or wanted to, earlier in his career.
He says, “I think there’s a few of those songs on this record…You know, ‘Same Truck’ and that message is something I’ve always believed in. I’m not sure I would have…a few years ago as a teenager been comfortable you know expressing my thoughts like that in coming out so strong, and naming my album that…and something that I believe in like that and then a song – other end of the spectrum – you know, like ‘That Kind Of Fire’ that’s definitely probably the steamiest song I put out there before and wouldn’t have sang that not too long ago but ready the thing that and happy to sing that now. And just perspective of the things too, I think I’ve gained a new perspective on life, and different things, like the perspective of ‘How Ya Doin’ Up There’ you know that’s a different take on a prayer that I’ve never thought of it before until right that song so yeah for sure.”
Scotty is all about creating music that is true to him, “Man, I’m going to write what’s in my heart, where I’m at in life, and put it out there and hope that people enjoy it. So, what I’m learning is that we’re all a lot more a like than we are different and everybody’s story, in some way or other, can kind of connect.”

While his single “You Time” was written before the quarantine of 2020, much of the album Same Truck, was written during the shutdown. Ever since winning American Idol, a decade before, Scotty has been on fast forward with his career, and when it came to his 3rd album, Scotty felt that he just wasn’t creating the caliber of songs that he wanted. With a busy schedule sometimes it’s hard to get in the right zone and create music you want, “I was liking it, but I didn’t feel like I was writing the best songs I’d ever written.”
Then 2020 happened.
While the world shutdown for COVID, Scotty had a minute to slow down and take it all in. This was the break that Scotty needed to create the songs that are on Same Truck. “It’s like we had an entire year to sit there and pick up the guitar, and write songs. I don’t know what it was…I think having the time to sit down and reflect, and think about the last 10 years, kind of got me in a good head-space writing-wise and I felt like we started writing songs that I was extremely proud about in the last year.”
Scotty McCreery’s new album, Same Truck, is available now and includes his single “You Time”
Jameson Rodgers‘ debut album, Bet You’re From A Small Town, is available now!
This is an incredibly personal project for Jameson – starting with the album’s title, “Being from a small town in Mississippi, I’m well aware that not everyone gets to do music for a living.”
Jameson says that his album, Bet You’re From A Small Town, has been a long time coming. After being in town for more than a decade, he’s happy that this is another achievement that he can mark off in his career, “You know, it’s surreal. It’s what you work for, you know what I mean. I moved to town 11 years ago dreaming of putting out your first record I’ve been fortunate to put a few EPs out at the time but I don’t know it’s just something special for record. Super, super thankful I’m getting to do it and you know you dream of having a number one and writing number-ones, and playing shows and man all the stars are starting to align for me and try not to mess it all up you know.”
Talking about the tracks on the album, Jameson shares, “I got to put a song I called ‘Missing One’ on the record, that’s you know been a staple for me for the last 4 years so like all the die-hard fans that have been with me for a long time or I think they’ll appreciate me putting that song…letting it get it’s kind of get it’s a fair shake, or so you. Song called ‘Girls That Smoke’ we did a new version of that one and looking forward to everybody hearing this record, it’s some of my favorite songs I’ve written, some best singing that I’ve done”
Whether it’s something like “Cold Beer Calling My Name,” “Missing One,” “Good Dogs,” or the title track to his new album, Bet You’re From A Small Town Jameson wants listeners to know that all the songs he creates are from his heart, and he hope that when you hear them, that they move you in some way, “When I write songs I just try to make people feel something. These songs make me feel something…it’s from the heart, it’s very authentic and genuine to me, and I hope they dig it.”
Jameson says, “For years, I’ve flipped through liner notes on albums and read through their credits and thank-yous. I got to do that with my own debut album, and it was absolutely surreal,”
