Easton Corbin ‘Gets Real’ With New Album Release

Mercury Nashville’s Easton Corbin will release his new album, About To Get Real, on June 30. The Carson Chamberlain produced album is Corbin’s third studio effort.

Corbin co-wrote three of the new tracks including “Like a Song,” “Diggin’ on You,” and “Damn Girl.” He is also adamant about cutting songs that go beyond the bottle and the bonfire. For About To Get Real, he re-recorded All Over the Road’s ballad “Are You With Me.” Corbin says, “Country music isn’t only about having a good time and drinking and this and that. It’s also about serious subject matter. It touches on each end of that spectrum, from happy-go-lucky to heavy. And that’s the basis of country music, that whole human experience.

“I definitely feel that I’ve discovered my natural sound with this album,” he continues. “If I try to do anything other than straight-ahead country, then that would just sound forced. And to have any longevity in this business, you really have to know who you are.”

His self-titled debut album provided back-to-back No. 1 songs including his first single, “A Little More Country Than That” and its follow up “Roll With It.” At the time, he was the first solo male artist in 17 years to have his first two singles go No. 1. His 2012 sophomore album, All Over The Road, had two Top 10 singles including the title track and “Loving You Is Fun.”
