“Carrying Your Love With Me” is available digitally

Parker McCollum, the newly awarded ACM New Male Artist of the Year, is releasing a cover of the George Strait classic, “Carrying Your Love With Me.” Texan native McCollum has called Strait one of his biggest influences.

“Impossible to truly do this song justice but when I got the opportunity to try, I just couldn’t pass it up,” says McCollum.

This has been a big week for McCollum – attending his very first ACM Awards show and taking home the trophy for New Male Artist of the Year at the ceremony held in Las Vegas before taking the stage to perform his hit song, “Pretty Heart.” Tomorrow night (Sat, Mar 12th) McCollum will be making a lifelong dream come true as he makes his RODEOHOUSTON debut to a sold out crowd.

Parker McCollum’s debut MCA Nashville album Gold Chain Cowboy was the highest first week debut album of 2021 and his platinum single “Pretty Heart” was the only debut single to ship to radio and reach No. 1 in 2020. With over one billion LTD domestic streams, McCollum was named this year’s ACM New Male Artist of the Year. McCollum sold out over 40 shows in 2021 and launched the first-ever NFT fan club earlier this year.
