Zach Bryan, an Oologah musician who shot to fame with his debut album, dropped a self-titled follow-up album on Friday via Warner Records.
The 16-track collection highlights the Grammy-nominated artist’s Oklahoma roots as well as his vast diverse confluence of musical and literary inspirations, according to a news release. The self-titled album, which Bryan wrote and produced, is a direct message from the songwriter of the songs to the hearts of his worldwide audience.
Starting on October 13, the album will be physically available on CD and vinyl. At zachbryan.com, the album may be pre-ordered.
According to the press release, a couple of the new album’s tracks have been heard live or on social media and have gained popularity as sing-along fan favorites at Bryan’s concerts. According to the press release, one of them is the song “Overtime,” which has a “uplifting energy and sweeping chorus.”
Recently, the 27-year-old Navy veteran also gave a sneak preview of “Spotless,” a song they made with The Lumineers. The album features Sierra Ferrell on “Holy Roller” and The War and Treaty on “Hey Driver,” as well as a duet with Kacey Musgraves on the song “I Remember Everything.” According to the press release, “El Dorado,” “Tourniquet,” and the album’s final song, “Oklahoma Son,” are further notable tracks.
The 5x platinum-certified hit, “Something in the Orange,” from Bryan’s debut album, “American Heartbreak,” holds the record for the longest-charting male country track on Billboard’s Hot 100, peaking at 66 weeks.
In 2022, “American Heartbreak” ranked as Spotify’s top country album. After its first release, the platinum-certified album spent more than a year in the U.S. top 10 charts.
Bryan is winding up his Burn, Burn, Burn Tour, which featured two sold-out, record-breaking performances at Tulsa’s BOK Center. Bryan has amassed over 6.9 billion streams worldwide.
