Frankie Ballard will release a new album titled El Rio on June 10 via Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville. The album’s lead single is “It All Started With a Beer.”

Ballard recorded the project with producer Marshall Altman at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, just south of El Paso.

“I’m very proud of the work Marshall and I did on El Rio,” says Ballard. “We busted our ass to be better. It’s been a spiritual journey. This album has already changed my life, and nobody’s heard it yet.”

Ballard’s hits include “Sunshine & Whiskey,” “Helluva Life,” and “Young & Crazy.” His previous album, also titled Sunshine & Whiskey, was released in 2014.
