Album due October 18th via Warner Music Nashville
With less than two months to go until the release of his third Warner Music Nashville album on October 18th, critically acclaimed country artist Chris Janson reveals which of his Real Friends are joining him for the ride. Songwriters on the 13 track project, for which Janson served as co-producer and co-writer, span industry veterans to new faces, as well as a special appearance from his wife. He also teams up with label-mate and fellow Grand Ole Opry member Blake Shelton to perform the record’s title track.
Fans who pre-order the album will also have instant access to download four tracks, including the just released “Done.” Janson wrote the mid-tempo love letter alongside Mitch Oglesby, Jamie Paulin and Matt Roy. The song’s video, directed by Sam Siske, features his wife, manager and collaborator Kelly Roland. The decorated songwriter and award-winning recording artist has previously released the “high-energy but… soft-edged” (The New York Times) track “Say About Me,” the “blue-collar rocker” (Taste of Country) “Waitin’ on Five” and the “electric, juiced-up anthem” (Billboard) “Good Vibes.”
Janson’s current single “Good Vibes” has rocketed into the Top 10 at country radio ahead of the album’s release as it nears 35 million on-demand streams. A two-time chart-topper performed the song last month on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and will take it to Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium on September 25th for a sold out headlining show. He will continue performing his newest tunes live into the fall on his own headlining dates across the nation. This week he will hit amphitheaters and arenas in Louisiana and Texas on Chris Young’s Raised On Country Tour before closing the run next weekend in Florida.
