Three new tracks include collaborations with Jordan Davis and Blake Shelton
Building on the euphoric spirit of his acclaimed seventh studio album, multi-platinum country star Thomas Rhett revels in rootsy abandon, adding his second set of three new tunes with About A Woman (& A Good Ol’ Boy) via The Valory Music Co. Keeping fans’ playlists fresh this summer, Rhett mixes mood-boosting reflection, gratitude and good-timing mischief into a playful blend of daring freeform country.
“Ain’t a Bad Life” featuring Jordan Davis flashes uncommon soul, tapping the sunset-level beauty of ‘70s Southern rock, as Rhett trades the rat race for true wealth and a 12-string guitar. Wiser by the day – but still young at heart – he hoists a toast to honky-tonk hangovers with the joyful sing-along “Old Tricks” featuring Blake Shelton. And with the flirtatious stomp-and-clap banger “Bottle With Your Name On It,” he lets loose on another round of his signature small-town funk, like a backwoods Bruno Mars.
Fans can expect more new music in the coming months.
“This week is a really big deal for me,” Rhett shares. “If you’d have asked me what two of my biggest career bucket list dreams are, I would have told you headlining a stadium and collaborating with one of my heroes like Blake Shelton. This week, I’m doing both of those things, and my mind is blown. The best part is that I get to do it all with great friends and out on the road with my fans, surrounded by a team who has supported me from day one. I’m grateful and pumped and we’re going to bring every ounce of energy to Fenway this weekend. It’s one of the most iconic places you can play, and getting to come back to headline—especially with new music that means so much to me—feels like the perfect full-circle moment.”
Tomorrow night (Sat, July 19), Rhett will headline a sold-out Fenway Park on his Better in Boots Tour. Nearly a decade after becoming the first-ever country artist to set boots on stage at Boston’s iconic Fenway Park, he comes full circle, bringing his one-of-a-kind show to the stadium with Tucker Wetmore, The Castellows, and frequent collaborator Teddy Swims.
Already having added three fresh tracks to his acclaimed seventh album About A Woman earlier this summer, the first batch included the laid-back fan-favorite “Small Town Girls” featuring tourmate Tucker Wetmore. The new music joins the album’s current Top 10 single “After All The Bars Are Closed,” which continues to climb the country radio charts. Pairing his laid-back perspective with a vocal drenched in casual country soul, Rhett has spent just over ten years gathering 23 No. 1’s, 16 billion streams and armfuls of awards.
