The song follows the No.1 “Believe”
Acclaimed Southern crooner Kashus Culpepper is turning up the volume on his rock influences with the release of “In Her Eyes” from his highly anticipated debut album, Act I, due out January 23rd via Big Loud. The song’s official music video continues the visual series accompanying the album – Act I, Scene 2 is out now. In tandem with the release, Culpepper earns his first No. 1 at Americana radio this week with “Believe,” topping the charts in just ten weeks.
Amidst Culpepper’s signature layering of country, folk, soul and blues, “In Her Eyes” reflects his most prominent Southern rock influences. The new song was rightfully recorded in Muscle Shoals and written alongside Brent Cobb and Oscar Charles.
The depth of influences in Culpepper’s musical rolodex is reflected within Act I‘s 18 tracks and previously recognized by icons like Elton John who claimed the Alabama-born artist is, “if Bill Withers made country music,” and John Mayer who shared Culpepper is “as good as it gets.” Country, soul, blues, folk and rock are all represented on the album – songs with banjo and pedal steel, cello, violin and harp too.
Each song on the album was co-written by Culpepper, recorded in Muscle Shoals and produced by Brian Elmquist. With features from acclaimed collaborators Sierra Ferrell (“Broken Wing Bird”) and Marcus King (“Southern Man”), Act I includes career defining lyrical masterworks like “After Me?,” “Cherry Rose” and “Alabama Beauty Queen.”
The Alabama-native will continue to headline throughout the year following tours with Darius Rucker, Sierra Ferrell and Leon Bridges. He is set to open for Eric Church.
