“I am so excited to pay homage to my small-town roots through ‘Country Born,’” said Baldridge. “This collection of songs encapsulates who I am and how my upbringing shaped me into the person I am today.”

One of the new ballads off the album is “First,” a heartbreaking love-song inspired by a conversation Baldridge had with his wife, Katie, where he told her that when his day comes, he hopes to go before her so he will never have to live a day without her.

The song was penned by Baldridge alongside Lydia Vaughan and Jordan Dozzi and was produced by Nick Schwarz. “First” is available everywhere now. Stream the track here.
