Drake White announces ‘Low Country High Road’

White’s third studio album is set for a fall release

After previously offering his growing army of fans a glimpse into his forthcoming LP with singles including “Life, Love and War” and “10lbs of S#!T,” country-soul singer-songwriter Drake White now officially announces the upcoming release of his new full-length album, Low Country High Road. Due September 20th, White’s much-anticipated new project finds the dreamer digging deep into his creative bag. The result is a 13-song collection of some of his most inspired and meaningful material yet.

Additionally, to celebrate the exciting announcement, White releases “Faith,” a plaintive, blues-and-gospel-tinged plea of a new single. Co-written by White alongside celebrated songwriter Jonathan Singleton, “Faith” finds the always-vulnerable musician peeling back emotional layers like never before. “I’ve been one headlight flying/Down the midnight highway/And trying not to look behind me/At the roads I didn’t take/Cause the one I’m on/Is the one I’m on tonight,” White sings atop a moving Gospel choir, as a Bluesy electric guitar crescendos near the song’s climax.

“Faith” follows what’s already been a paramount year for White – he released the wisdom-laden “Life, Love and War” in June and the mischievous country/rock anthem “10lbs of S#!T,” the previous month. In tandem, he’s been taking a victory lap for much of 2024 in the wake of his releasing the now-iconic The Bridge EP in 2023. Featuring seven songs filled with inspiration, love and conviction, each track on the EP was co-written by White with a cast including Maren Morris, Ryan Hurd, Leslie Satcher and more, combining all-new tracks with reimagined versions of fan favorites and a collaboration with Colbie Caillat.

The critically acclaimed artist-songwriter has been pounding the pavement in recent months: White crisscrossed the country on his wildly successful The Bridge Tour, joining Jamey Johnson for select dates. White’s 2024 run is set to finish September 28th in Lakeland, Florida.
