Wilson’s current single, “Heart Like a Truck” is among the 16 tracks on Wilson’s latest album. She co-wrote each song except for one cover, allowing her to incorporate her authentic country sound with the addition of some elements of ‘70s Rock, Funk, and Soul.

“It’s whatever makes you different, whatever makes you special, makes you, you,” she shared with Country Now of the album. “It’s about finding that and leaning into it as much as you possibly can. I think everybody’s got a little bell bottom country about them. So that’s what this record is.”

The project features fan favorites like “Watermelon Moonshine,” “Live Off” and “Heart Like A Truck,” which continues to climb the country radio charts.

Since she released a few songs from the album before dropping the full collection, Wilson had the chance to test out the new music live on the road. In doing so, she shared that the energy from the audience has been nothing short of amazing.

Another original song that was recently added to the album is “Smell Like Smoke” which she debuted during a recent episode of Paramount Network’s hit TV series, Yellowstone.

In addition to having several of her songs featured on the TV series like “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Hold My Halo,” the Louisiana native also as a role on the show. She plays a character named Abby, who was created specifically for her by Taylor Sheridan.
