WANT IT
Part 1 of Granger Smith’s two-part studio album, Country Things, Vol. 1 is out everywhere right now. This eight-song volume gives a glimpse of Granger and his family’s current country state-of-mind, including a guest appearance from his good pal Earl Dibbles Jr. This new batch of music from the born-and-bred Texan initially started back in early 2019. Granger was writing and creating and prepping for his 10th studio album when the unexpected passing of his son River struck and all of those plans abruptly came to a halt. In the months that followed, mourning River changed the way Smith heard the music, and songs like “That’s Why I Love Dirt Roads” had taken on new meaning. Granger decided to let his music do the healing. Not just for himself, but for anyone who needs to hear songs that let them know they’re not alone on whatever road they’re taking.

PLAN FOR IT
Everette – consisting of Brent Rupard and Anthony Olympia – today announces part one of their two-part album produced by Luke Laird. Kings of the Dairy Queen Parking Lot – Side A, out this Friday. Everette – named after George Clooney’s philosophy-spouting, folk-singing character in O Brother, Where Art Thou – both co-wrote all 14 songs on Side A and Side B, teaming up with collaborators like Bryan Simpson, the Warren Brothers, Brent Cobb, Matt Jenkins, and Bobby Pinson along the way. Split into two parts, Kings of the Dairy Queen Parking Lot is based on that spot everyone went to with their friends where they gained their first taste of freedom. The first half of the album, Side A, makes an impact of its own.
