Jimmie Allen has recruited even more friends to join him on the Bettie James Gold Edition, his new expanded edition of his album Bettie James, set for release on June 25 on BBR Music Group/Stoney Creek Records. Te new project is available for pre-save and pre-add now.

Babyface, Breland, Keith Urban, Lanco, Lathan Warlick, Lindsay Ell, Little Big Town, Locash, Monica, Neon Union, Pitbull, teamwork. and Vikina all appear on the new 16-track album, which features nine brand new collaborations in addition to the seven previously featured on the original Bettie James. Released in July of 2020, Bettie James includes artists from across genres and generations including Brad Paisley, Charley Pride, Darius Rucker, Mickey Guyton, Nelly, Noah Cyrus, The Oak Ridge Boys, Rita Wilson, Tauren Wells and Tim McGraw. The project has already racked up over 155 million streams.

“When it comes to music I love, I don’t really get wrapped up in boundaries or genres. I thought we were gonna stop with the collaborations with Bettie James, and then I was like, man, there’s so much music out there that I love, so many artists that I love, and I just wasn’t done,” says Allen of the impetus for the new project. “There’s some pop, there’s some rock, there’s some country, there’s some R&B… When I was writing some of the songs, I was trying to picture each moment. I went to each artist to work with them so they could be who they are on the song and bring their greatness to the song – I feel like that’s what makes the songs better.”
