New Walker Hayes Project, ‘Country Stuff The Album,’ Due In January
Walker Hayes is releasing his new project, Country Stuff The Album, Jan. 21 via Monument Records. His latest single from the forthcoming project, “AA,” is out now.
Country Stuff The Album will include his blockbuster hit “Fancy Like,” as well as the previously released “U Gurl,” along with “AA” and 10 other tracks. The project will also include Hayes’ collaborations with Carly Pearce, Jake Owen, and Lori McKenna, and a re-imagined version of “Craig” featuring MercyMe.
“I’ve been waiting so long to put out a project like this,” says Hayes. “It has everything I love from the fun of ‘Fancy Like’ to the more personal lyrics in ‘AA.’ As an artist, it’s such a unique thing to be able to share all the different versions of you in a project, and that’s really what I tried to do here.”
Out today, new single “AA” was written by Hayes with Shane McAnally and Luke Laird and produced by “Fancy Like” collaborator Joe Thibodeau and McAnally. The track finds Hayes singing about his anxieties as a dad, his love for his wife Laney, and his own journey with sobriety.
Hayes will chat more about that journey when he appears on CBS Sunday Morning this coming Sunday (Nov. 21). He’ll also perform his viral smash “Fancy Like” on the American Music Awards later that night. Hayes will be kicking off his headlining tour, “The Fancy Like Tour,” in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Jan. 27.
