Lainey Wilson Shows Off Her ‘Bell Bottom Country’ With Upcoming Sophomore Release

ACM New Female Artist of the Year Lainey Wilson has announced that her sophomore album, Bell Bottom Country, is set for release on Oct. 28 via BBR Music Group/Broken Bow Records. As a sneak peek of what’s to come, the fast-rising star revealed a new track from the album, “Watermelon Moonshine,” available everywhere now.

Bell Bottom Country draws its name from the Louisiana native’s unique sound, style and aesthetic, which has seemingly become her own brand over the last few years. The upcoming record reflects Wilson’s depth and multifaceted character with elements of ‘70s rock, funk and soul. Across the 14 songs, all but one of which she co-wrote, Wilson displays her growth as a person, artist and songwriter since writing her breakout, debut album Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’, all with her signature level of authenticity.

“I’ve lived quite a bit of life the past few years, and I have a lot more to say,” Wilson explains. “Sure, I love a good pair of bell bottoms, but Bell Bottom Country to me has always been about the flare and what makes someone unique—I have really embraced mine, and I hope y’all can hear that across this project.”

“Watermelon Moonshine” delivers a retrospective coming-of-age ballad, finding Wilson reflecting on teenage love and how unversed to the world she was at the time. The new track is the second song available from the project, the first being her current single “Heart Like A Truck,” which is currently climbing through the top 40 on country radio.

As previously announced, she will join the cast of Paramount Network’s Yellowstone for its fifth season, taking on the role of Abby and allowing her to perform new original music written and recorded by Wilson herself.

Fans can also catch her on the “Ain’t Always the Cowboy Tour” with Jon Pardi and Hailey Whitters this summer, as well as select dates with Luke Combs. For a full list of dates, click here.
