LISTEN TO “LOVING YOU LIKE THAT” HERE

NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS – Multi-Platinum singer, songwriter, and producer Dylan Gossettreveals his highly anticipated sophomore album, Ramblin’, will be released September 25th via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. Alongside the announcement, Gossett unveils the album’s newest single, “Loving You Like That” today. 

Pre-order / pre-save Ramblin’ here, and listen to “Loving You Like That” here.

Ramblin’ marks the next chapter for one of country music’s fastest-rising artists. Building on the foundation of his critically acclaimed 2025 debut album, Westward, the new record expands the deeply personal songwriting that has become his signature. Written after years of relentless touring around the world, Ramblin’ finds Gossett returning home to Austin, Texas, with a renewed perspective on love, relationships, and the place that shaped him. See the full album tracklist below. 

On the album, Dylan shares, “Where Westward is all about this change of life I went through and the craziness of traveling out West and life flipping upside down, Ramblin’ is about coming back home and having real relationships when I was off the road. Relationships with friends, with significant others, with family, with faith. I’m grounding myself in this music.”

“Loving You Like That” offers another glimpse into Ramblin’, pairing Gossett’s unmistakable Texas-rooted storytelling with a heartfelt portrait of enduring love. The track follows his recent deeply personal releases “My Boy,” written to celebrate the birth of his first child, and “Honeysuckle,” another single from the album, reflecting on home, love, and the people who keep him grounded.

Fresh off select North American stadium dates supporting Mumford & Sons, Gossett will join The Red Clay Strays on the road later this month before co-headlining a U.S. tour with Charles Wesley Godwin this fall. Continuing his rapid global ascent, he’ll also launch a headline tour across Australia and New Zealand later this fall. See the full list of upcoming tour dates below.

Over the past three years, Dylan Gossett has emerged as one of country music’s most exciting new voices. Hailing from Austin, Texas, the 27-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer has amassed nearly 1.5 billion career streams, led by his breakthrough anthem “Coal,” now certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA in the U.S. and Multi-Platinum internationally. Gossett has earned acclaim for his authentic songwriting while sharing music with collaborators including Noeline Hofmann and Ole 60. His meteoric rise has also seen him tour alongside some of today’s biggest artists, including George Strait, Zach Top, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Noah Kahan, Morgan Wallen, and HARDY, while appearing at marquee festivals including Stagecoach and Austin City Limits Music Festival. Recognized by Spotify and Amazon as an Artist to Watch and named to MusicRow‘s Next Big Thing list, Gossett continues to cement himself as one of the defining new voices in modern country and Americana.

“THE LONE STAR RISING STAR” – COWBOYS & INDIANS 

NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS – Today, Big Loud Texas artist Julianna Rankin drops unforgettably clever “Double Knot,” out now. Described as “highly promising” by MusicRow, Rankin’s new song was produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning tastemakers Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall.

Teasing the new song on social media, Rankin playfully dedicated the track to, “all the boys and girls with a case of the seven-year itch.”

Putting a new spin on the familiar story of a fizzled-out marriage, “Double Knot” was written Oscar Charles, Bryan Simpson and Meg McRee. Swaggering steel guitar winds around Rankin’s smooth vocals on the track:

Baby when we tied the knot
We might’ve shoulda tied it in a double knot
Like the cans on the bumper that were hanging off
The caddy whipping out of the parking lot
For a minute we were in it, we were meant to be
Now we’re two single people, one diamond ring
Up for sale in an ole pawn shop

Rankin’s most recent steel-soaked honky-tonk song “Dusty Boots” was named one of Holler‘s new music discoveries. In addition to the winking “XYZ71s,” the Texas native dropped “Little Miss Behavin’” with an official music video starring Gretchen Wilson. Her label debut with Big Loud Texas, “Bad Habits and Good Horses,” was featured in the season finale of Landman via Paramount+.

Next month, Rankin will support Easton Corbin and Stoney LaRue before playing Everybody’s Somebody Festival with headliners Hayes Carll & The Band of Heathens in September. This fall, Rankin will support Mark Chesnutt and Casey Donahew on select dates. For more information or tickets, please visit juliannarankin.com.

SUPPORTING WILLIE NELSON ON HIS 2026 OUTLAW MUSIC FESTIVAL TOUR AND BEYOND BEGINNING IN JULY

“HIS VOICE EMBODYING BOTH RESIGNATION AND LONGING” 
– BILLBOARD 

NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS  – Today, GRAMMY® nominated artist-writer Waylon Payne releases a thrilling new batch of stories on Wayward, his third full-length project and first as a newly signed artist under Big Loud Texas. With half of Wayward notably being solo written, his collaborations were with some of the sharpest artistic minds in Nashville. A testament to the esteem in which he’s held by the songwriting community, collaborators include Aaron Raitiere, Ashley Monroe, Brennen Leigh, Dean Person, Matraca Berg, Miranda Lambert and more.  

Produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack) and Eric Masse (Parker McCollum), the 13-track project showcases a classic troubadour who’s been to the edge and back and refuses to be easily defined. Which, fittingly, is precisely how the album got its name. 

“My friend used to call me ‘Wayward’ instead of Waylon,” Payne says. “One day I looked up the definition, which is ‘difficult to control or predict because of unusual or perverse behavior.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, it is me.’”

Wayward features previously released “Holding On To Lonely” with the gifted multi-instrumentalist Charlie Worsham, that Billboard noted as, “vulnerable” and “introspective,” and MusicRow praised, “his voice is marvelously aching.” Additionally, Payne’s “Looking For A Feeling,” penned alongside Pam Tillis was named one of the “Best New Country Songs” by Holler, which kicks off Wayward. Payne opens up about parts of his past on Wayward. “The Roses” was written in the wake of a bad breakup and his mother’s death when he started a brief, but exciting fling. Watch the official music video here. 

The revered singer-songwriter makes the kind of albums that stick with you — grand musical statements that tell of a life lived out loud in full color, with ample room to spread out and get lost. From his 2003 debut The Drifter to 2021’s Blue Eyes, The Harlot, The Queer, The Pusher & Me, Payne has fearlessly chronicled his life and its many triumphs as well as the broken pieces he’s had to reassemble along the way. 

At the end of July, Waylon will perform at the Grand Ole Opry for Opry 100. This summer, Payne will continue supporting Willie Nelson on his 2026 Outlaw Music Festival Tour and beyond with stops in California, Chicago, New York and more. To stay up to date, connect with Waylon on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

HITTING THE ROAD WITH BILLY CURRINGTON & KIP MOORE IN AUGUST 

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today, singer-songwriter Alex Lambert bears his heart on “Think I’m In Love,” a gorgeous convergence of country, soul and timeless R&B. Lambert teased the song from a porch step with his band, generating organic demand for the gorgeous new song.

“Think I’m In Love” reflects Lambert’s singular sonic world where warm grooves merge with the lush textures of country instrumentation. He wrote the track alongside Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Rivers Rutherford. In a vulnerable admission, Lambert sings:

I think I’m in love with you
But it’s just too soon to tell
Oh, I think I’m in love
I just haven’t told myself

The Texas native announced his signing with buzzed-about imprint Big Loud Texas, co-founded by Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall, in January. Lambert’s debut label release, “Shoot Me Down,” was named one of the “Best New Country Songs” by Holler. “Rules of Attraction” and “You Make Sense To Me” followed and serve as statements of artistic intent. Most recent “Lay Down In A Pickup” is a hushed but spellbinding reverie that brings Lambert’s rich, distinct sound to the forefront.

Lambert will perform at Crusens in Peoria, Illinois tonight supporting Paul Cauthen on his The Book Of Paul Tour. Beginning in August, Alex will support Billy Currington & Kip Moore with stops in Georgia, South Carolina and more, as well as additional headline dates. Stay up to date with Alex Lambert here.

SUPPORTING WILLIE NELSON ON HIS 2026 OUTLAW MUSIC FESTIVAL TOUR AND BEYOND BEGINNING IN JULY

NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS  – Today, Big Loud Texas proudly announces the signing of GRAMMY® nominated artist-writer Waylon Payne. In tandem, Payne announces his forthcoming album Wayward set for July 17. A song decades in the making, “Weed By The Wall” is out today.

“This album is very special to me and ‘Weed by the Wall’ is probably one of my favorite moments as a writer,” shares Payne. “I’m incredibly proud to have partnered with Big Loud Texas to release this collection of songs and I sure hope folks enjoy it.”

“I first heard Waylon Payne’s music in 2004, with his very first album,” Lambert adds. “Called The Drifter, I’ll never forget the feelings it gave me. The honesty in his songwriting was genuinely something I’d never experienced, as well as the emotion coming across in his vocals; it made me hang on every word.

“Everything he has ever made inspired me – and so many artists that I know and love. It’s pure truth, and where can you find that? Wayward, which I can’t believe we get to release on Big Loud Texas, defines what I hope this label can be. Nothing short of brilliant, the truths and stories match these perfect melodies that make you feel every emotion.”

A 13-song collection produced by Frank Liddell (Lee Ann Womack, Miranda Lambert) and Eric Masse (Parker McCollum), half of Wayward was notably solo written. The new masterful body of work follows his timeless debut The Drifter (2003) and Blue Eyes, The Harlot, The Queer, The Pusher & Me (2020), which were both met with widespread acclaim. A brilliant showcase of the razor-sharp lyrical prowess that defines his artistry, Wayward is vulnerable, honest and beaming with wisdom.

The album features recently released “Holding On To Lonely” that Billboard noted as, “vulnerable” and “introspective,” and MusicRow praised, “his voice is marvelously aching.” Payne’s “Looking For A Feeling,” penned alongside Pam Tillis and named one of the “Best New Country Songs” by Holler, kicks off Wayward. 

Payne’s intricate lyricism is weaved throughout today’s “Weed By The Wall”:

I am a freight train
Forged out of steel
I am a highway rolling west in the morning
My hands on the wheel
I am a full-grown man
I stand alone
And I sacrifice nothing for the sake of the cause
I am god and nature
I am a weed by the wall

This summer, Waylon will support Willie Nelson on his 2026 Outlaw Music Festival Tour and beyond with stops in Texas, California, New York and more. To stay up to date, connect with Waylon on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS – Today, Big Loud Texas singer-songwriter Julianna Rankinshowcases her standout vocals on “Dusty Boots,” out now. Called “The Lone Star rising star” by Cowboys & Indians, Rankin continues to chart her musical path with smoldering new songs like recent “Little Miss Behavin’,” with an unforgettable official music video starring Gretchen Wilson.

“’Dusty Boots’ is one of those songs I’ve been anxiously waiting for people to hear,” shares Rankin. “It captures so much of where I come from — not only my Texas roots, but the music and moments that made me fall in love with country music in the first place. It’s a two-stepper that transports me to all my favorite places: dancing under a painted sunset, a night at Gruene Hall and the kind of memories you wish you could live twice. I hope it does the same for everyone who listens.” 

Rankin wrote “Dusty Boots” alongside Jon Decious, Steph Jones, Josh Kear and Aaron Raitiere. In this steel-soaked honky-tonk song, Rankin sings:

Dusty boots and barroom floors
Red dirt roots, four-by-fours
Truck stops and diesel, Willie and Waylon
Cornbread and cast iron
If you know what I’m sayin’
Honky-tonks and heavy pours
So crank up the band, and then crank it some more
Let’s get to dancing, ’cause that’s what they made ’em for

About her most recent release, “XYZ71s,” All Country News praised Rankin’s artistry, “she’s driving her own story, and she’s not checking the rearview for permission.” Kicking things off with a bang, her label debut “Bad Habits and Good Horses” was featured in the season finale of Landman via Paramount+ earlier this year.

This summer, Rankin will support Casey Donahew, Neal McCoy and Mark Chesnutt on select dates. In September, Julianna will play at Everybody’s Somebody Festival with headliners Hayes Carll & The Band of Heathens. Stay up to date with Julianna Rankin here.

RECENTLY ANNOUNCED 2026 CO-HEADLINE TOUR WITH CHARLES WESLEY GODWIN ON SALE NOW

NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS – Multi-Platinum singer, songwriter and producer Dylan Gossettunveils his brand new single, “Honeysuckle,” out today via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records—listen here. Watch the lyric video here. 

While Gossett’s 2025 debut album, Westward, chronicled his whirlwind experience becoming one of Texas Country’s most compelling new voices and navigating a rapidly changing life while on the road, “Honeysuckle” finds the Austin native returning to his roots and reflecting on home, love and the relationships that matter most.

Following the breakout success of his critically acclaimed debut LP, “Honeysuckle” signals a more personal and intimate direction in his songwriting. Written on the tour bus following his monumental 2025 Stagecoach debut, “Honeysuckle” began as an escape from the California desert and evolved into one of Gossett’s most distinctly Texas songs to date. With vivid lines referencing the stunning sunsets he regularly sees on his property in Wimberley, Texas, “Honeysuckle” was written as a love song to his wife, as he sings, “Love the way that you talk / Southern sweet, Texas drawl / Takes me home.”

Earlier this spring, Gossett dropped his deeply personal track, “My Boy,” celebrating the birth of his first child and dedicating it to his growing family.

Beginning this weekend, Gossett will embark on select stadium dates with Mumford & Sons across North America. Following this run, he’ll then support The Red Clay Strays later this summer before co-headlining a U.S. tour with Charles Wesley Godwin in the fall, which promises to bring two standout voices in modern country and Americana together. Not to mention, on the international front, Gossett will headline shows in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand throughout the year. See the full list of upcoming tour dates here and below. 

Over the past few years, Dylan Gossett has emerged as one of the biggest and brightest new stars in country music. With nearly 1.5 billion streams across his catalog to date, his breakout single “Coal” recently picked up a 2x Platinum certification in the United States, in addition to going Gold in the U.K., Platinum in Australia, 2x-Platinum in Canada, and 2x-Platinum in Ireland. The song marked his first entry on the Spotify U.S. Top 200 Chart, Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and U.K. Official Singles Chart Top 100. Not to mention, it broke into the Top 25 of the Billboard Country Digital Songs Chart and Top 5 of the Spotify Viral 50 U.S. and Global Charts. In addition, his single “Beneath Oak Trees” recently became RIAA Gold Certified. It’s no wonder major players such as Spotify and Amazon pegged him as an “Artist To Watch” in 2024, while MusicRow named him among its “Next Big Thing Class of 2025 Artists.” Cementing himself as a global touring force, Gossett sold over 200,000 tickets worldwide to date. Stay tuned for more to come from Dylan Gossett in 2026.

ON THE ROAD WITH BILLY CURRINGTON & KIP MOORE LATER THIS YEAR

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today Big Loud Texas singer-songwriter Alex Lambert delivers “Lay Down In A Pickup,” a spellbinding reverie. The soul country force offers an ingenious take on a classic country trope, swapping the standard backroads setting for a romantic desert getaway. Watch Lambert’s visualizer for “Lay Down In A Pickup” here. 

Co-produced by Big Loud Texas Co-Founder Jon Randall, “Lay Down In A Pickup” emerged from a writing session with legendary songwriter Rivers Rutherford (Jamey Johnson, The Highwaymen). “Rivers had that title, and I got him on board with turning it into something with the cowboy-soul vibe I was going for,” says Lambert. “It’s still a pickup song, but we’re painting with the colors of South Texas and Baja California and all those desert places I felt inspired by.”

Offering a fresh take on the trope, Lambert sings: 

When you lay down in a pickup
Underneath the desert sky
With a poncho for a blanket
And a skin of Spanish wine
And you see how small we are
And how the stars were meant to shine
And living don’t hurt so much
When you lay down in a pickup

With a sound unlike any other in modern music, Lambert’s most recent releases are a gorgeous convergence of country, soul and timeless R&B. Announcing his signing with Big Loud Texas in January, Lambert released “Shoot Me Down,” one of Holler‘s “Best New Country Songs.” Since, he’s released “Rules of Attraction,” a song about undeniable chemistry, and “You Make Sense To Me” which serves as a statement of artistic intent. 

Lambert is currently embarking on headlining dates – including performing at New York City’s Mercury Lounge earlier this week. Next week, he’ll return to Music City for a billing at CMA Fest on Saturday (6/6) at Good Molecules Reverb Stage before heading out with Billy Currington and Kip Moore later this year.

ALBUM RELEASE SHOW IN AUSTIN NEXT FRIDAY

SUPPORTING ROBERT EARL KEEN ON TOUR STARTING THIS MONTH

“JENNINGS BRINGS ADMIRATION FOR TIMELESS COUNTRY SOUNDS” – BILLBOARD 

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today, country provocateur Coleman Jennings raises his distinctive voice for all to hear on his debut record Lead You Home. A collection of 10 riveting country-folk songs – all solo-written and produced by lauded GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Dave Cobb – the stark, striking effort is an exercise in artistic abandon. Out now via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records, listen to Lead You Home here. 

“This album was made with spontaneity and improvisation, and I hope that its rawness points toward the truths that it stands for,” Jennings shares. “I believe that the best art is simple and real. A huge thank you to Big Loud Texas/Mercury, and Dave Cobb for helping bring this vision to life.”

About the unique talent, Cobb declares, “Coleman is the true voice of the west.” Captured in a stream of creative consciousness, nearly half of the album’s songs were at least partially penned on the spot in Cobb’s Savannah, Georgia studio, taking his well-documented affinity for live recording to its ultimate end. Jennings would rarely have a full song to start with – often just a fragment, or a guitar riff he liked. But with Cobb at the controls and a tight band of like-minded creative outlaws, they would finish it by feel and record it then and there. The process speaks to Jennings’ musical ethos and captures the country-folk spirit like nothing else. 

The album features previously released “Good While It Lasted,” called “a lively melody and humorous charm to heartbreak” by Billboard, and “Flyin’,” a testament to Jennings “carving out a lane that reveres tradition while remaining unafraid to blur its edges” (Country Central). It also includes his first label release, “Head Spinning,” and the ’70s-style, harmony-rich “Jamie,” named one of Holler‘s “Best New Country Songs.”

The album concludes with “I Will Lead You Home,” a gentle ballad about seeking purpose and a personal journey to find God. Jennings put off finishing the song for years, but in Cobb’s studio, he realized the time had finally come. Giving himself over to the moment, the result was one of the standout tracks on the album.

Jennings will co-headline Central Machine Works with gritty alt-Americana band The Droptines next Friday, May 15, in Austin to celebrate the release of Lead You Home. Later this month, he will support Robert Earl Keen on the Then And Now Tour. Stay up to date with Coleman Jennings here.
