The new album will hit shelves on June 27.
On Friday night, March 21, multi-Platinum-selling country superstar Parker McCollum stunned a sold-out crowd at the famed RODEOHOUSTON by announcing his forthcoming fifth studio album, PARKER MCCOLLUM, out on June 27 on MCA Nashville. McCollum gave an explosive performance at his third consecutive sold-out appearance at RODEOHOUSTON and the lucky crowd got first access to pre-save his upcoming album.
PARKER MCCOLLUM is an artistic achievement that is grounded in honest introspection and sonically evokes the spirit of Texas. Produced by Grammy Award-winning Frank Lindell and recorded at the legendary Power Station recording studio in New York City, the project is imbued with emotional intensity and masterful storytelling. McCollum revisits the emotions around his unencumbered “wild years,” the pressures of measuring up to public and personal standards, some of the bad decisions, and the unfathomable blessings that have all colored his life to this point.
McCollum hits the mark with an album that authentically blends the sounds of the classic country records that stand the test of time with mainstream appeal. Writing on all tracks, excluding two cover songs, he returns to the sound of the Limestone Kid with more life lived and a new perspective. Teaming with celebrated songwriters such as Monty Criswell, Natalie Hemby, Randy Montana, Lori McKenna, Jon Randall, Randy Rogers, Liz Rose, and more, this album is a start to end experience that is a cohesive standout project by McCollum.
McCollum’s sold-out RODEOHOUSTON show saw the Conroe, Texas-native at his best. Performing to a season record crowd of 71,216 fans, McCollum and his band took the star-shaped stage playing a 12-song set. The evening was a night full of energy and unforgettable moments including son, Major, making his rodeo debut, and an on-stage proposal in front of a supportive packed house.
Recently, McCollum announced Fall tour dates for his PARKER MCCOLLUM TOUR, available here.
