Lainey Wilson unveils the track list for her forthcoming and highly anticipated record, Whirlwind.
The project, which drops on August 23, features 14 tracks, all of which were co-written by the multi-platinum female country star. She opens with a tune titled “Keep Up With Jones” and continues with her fan-favorite single, “Country’s Cool Again” before diving into the only collaboration on the entire album, “Good Horses (feat. Miranda Lambert),” which the pair of artists have already previewed live on stage.
In addition to “Country’s Cool Again,” fans have also gotten a taste of Whirlwind through the lead single, “Hang Tight Honey,” which is currently in the Top 20 at Country radio and climbing.
While reflecting on her brand-new set of work, Wilson revealed that she has been holding onto these songs for several years now, waiting for the perfect time to share them with the world. These songs are expected to share insight into Wilson’s world as she returns to her Louisiana roots and offers a set of humbling tracks for fans to bring into their own lives.
“Writing & recording these 14 songs over the past couple of years has helped me stay grounded in ways you’d never believe,” Wilson shared in a recent release. “This album brought me back to my roots and made me feel at home during times when I couldn’t have been further away and my biggest hope is that it gives you that same sense of comfort that it has for me.”
