Following the recent release of his new single, “Drinkin’ Buddies,” LeeBrice is excited to share even more new music with a brand new album.

“I say this about every record, but it is the most ‘me’ record, songs, music all of it, that I’ve ever done,” Lee told Audacy’s KatieNeal of the forthcoming record during his time on the Superstar Power Hour.

Nearing the 14th anniversary of releasing his debut album, Love Like Crazy, Lee is reflecting on the new-found freedom he feels while making music.

“[I’m] just kinda at a point in my life where I want to do the music that I want to do and I don’t wanna necessarily feel like there’s boundaries or walls or genres,” he said. “Country music is truth, it’s who I am, so whatever comes out of me — I’ve got everything from Soul to Pop to Rock to Blues to very Country, Country, Country all the way down to the roots, Gospel — but this thing has a lot of all that.”

While it has a little bit of everything, the 44-year-old shared he is most excited about a Gospel-rooted song, "When the Kingdom Comes," that he says represents not only his favorite song on the whole project, but also represents who he is.

“If I had to play you one song from the whole record, it’d probably be this one gospel sort-of song [‘When the Kingdom Comes’] It wouldn’t be the single, just because I care what people know about me and what they think about where I’m at in my life and that’s where I’m at in my life.”

Don’t let the couple of Gospel songs throw you, Lee promises plenty of good time anthems, quick-witted and playful tunes as well. “We have some really, really, really fun stuff [like] ‘Said No Country Boy Ever,’ ‘Drinkin’ Buddies’ is amazing.”

He concluded, “It’s very diverse, I’ve always had kind of diverse records, but it’s got a thread through it.”

BrantleyGilbert is soon-to-be a father of three and could not be more excited to be blessed with another little one. While he and his wife, Amber, are keeping the gender a secret from the public for now, he did share that one of his kids had a less-than-desirable reaction to the news.

“One of ‘em was really stoked and one of ‘em was not feeling it at all,” Brantley laughed, admitting his daughter was hoping for a girl and his son was rooting for a boy. Regardless of a boy or girl, Gilbert says he hopes his third child doesn’t have the level of attitude his daughter does.

“It’s bad,” he said of his 4-year-old daughter’s sass. “She’s boujee, she’s gangster too all at the same time. There’s a little AlCapone in that child. … it’s something else,” he laughed.

When asked about names, Gilbert said he doesn’t think his wife would ever let him name the baby, so that’ll be a secret for now too.

While he’s keeping a lot under wraps for now, one thing that’s out in the open is news of a new song, “Over When We’re Sober” featuring AshleyCooke, available June 21. Gilbert revealed the song was originally written by him and JellyRoll for a different album but eventually found a home on Brantley’s forthcoming, 7th studio album.

“We wrote it for an album that Jelly [Roll] and I were working on for a minute,” Gilbert shared with Audacy’s KatieNeal during an interview at Nashville’s Hard Rock Cafe during CMA Fest. “That wouldn’t have really been that good with me and him singing that to each other, you know?” He laughed before sharing he and Jelly’s writing sessions are quite a spectacle. “If there was a fly on the wall that could talk, we’d probably have to kill him,” he laughed.

Jokes aside, Brantley says he was excited to present the song to Cooke, who he says slayed the vocals. “We took it to Ashley in studio and she knocked it out of the park. I’m really excited to work with her, she’s a rockstar.”

The song will be the second taste of Brantley’s seventh studio album which he describes as being created with absolutely no rules. “All the rules are changing, which for us is a good thing,” he shared. “Well, there never really have been rules for us, but now there are less than there were … with this record, we really just let things be what they wanted to be, but we’ve got some solid country stuff on there.”

RileyGreen is keeping the good times rolling on his 2024 Ain’t My Last Rodeo Tour, most recently by surprising his fans with special guest, JohnDaly, on stage.

The pro golfing legend hopped on stage with Green during a show earlier this month in Iowa and sang, “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” until Green says he physically had to pull Daly off the stage.

“He’s a character,” Green told Audacy’s KatieNeal during his CMA Fest interview at Nashville’s Hard Rock Cafe. “It’s hard to bring somebody like that out on stage because his personality is so much bigger than mine — he almost enjoys it more than me so it’s hard to drag him back off the stage. [He was out there] as long as I’d let him be. I had to physically go and get the mic from him.”

While Daly brought a new energy to Riley’s show, the good times didn’t stop there for fans as they also got to hear Green’s new single, “Damn Good Day to Leave,” which he describes as a “fun break-up song.”

According to Green, there’s a lot more where that came from as he is already working on music for a new album he hopes to release in the fall. That would be only one year since the release of his latest album, Ain’t My Last Rodeo.

“I’m in the studio, constantly writing and we’re recording some new music. I’m going to try and put out another album later this year,” he shared. “I don’t see why not. While people are listening we’re gonna try to keep ‘em listening.”

The 35-year-old says he’s been paying close attention to fan reactions on the road when it comes to different songs and is doing his best to write more of what he thinks the fans will love.

“I don’t think there’s any better teacher for a songwriter than fans,” he said. “Seeing the reactions and being out on tour — seeing what songs are really resonating. I took that knowledge and tried to write the next album to be a lot of what people seemed to like.”
