Following the success of his six-week No.1 single, “Thinking ‘Bout You,” with MacKenzie Porter, Dustin Lynch revealed plans to release his much-anticipated fifth studio album. 

Lynch unveiled the news on ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday, announcing that his 12-track project, Blue in the Sky, is set to release on February 11. 

“This has been a fun secret to keep! Get ready for a collection of songs that are going to make you feel good and want to mix a drink and party with your friends,” shares Lynch. “I’m excited for everyone to hear Blue in the Sky.” 

Among the tracks on the Tennessee native’s new project are the previously released “Pasadena,” “Not Every Cowboy,” ” “Tequila On A Boat” featuring Chris Lane, and “Huntin’ Lane” featuring Riley Green.

Blue in the Sky serves as the follow-up to Lynch’s 2020 release, Tullahoma, which spawned hits such as “Ridin’ Roads,” “Good Girl,” and “Momma’s House.”
