Chris Janson has revealed the title and cover of his BMLG debut album, The Outlaw Side of Me. The lead single from the new record, “All I Need Is You,” is climbing the charts now.

Produced by Janson and Grammy-winning producer Julian Raymond, The Outlaw Side of Me is a full-spectrum look at Janson’s many sides, from the outlaw, to the rowdy rocker, the romantic and the full-throttle performer. Writers contributing to the project include Chris DeStefano, Brad Clawson, Brad and Brett Warren, Tom Douglas, David Lee Murphy and more.

“From the minute I started this album ’til the minute we finished, I enjoyed every second,” Janson explains. “This record encompasses all sides of me: the lover, the party guy, the conservationist, the family man… I love these songs, and I had such a good time making the music. The Outlaw Side of Me is my favorite album to date.”

Ahead of the album’s June 16 release, Janson has dropped a new focus track: “21 Forever,” featuring musical titans Dolly Parton and Slash. Other guests on The Outlaw Side of Me include Brantley Gilbert and Darius Rucker.

“I’m so thrilled to announce that two global icons have joined me for my absolute biggest collaboration to date,” Janson says about “21 Forever”. “Dolly and Slash– it doesn’t get any bigger than that! I’m incredibly humbled and grateful for these two. I hope you all enjoy ‘21 Forever.'”

Janson also recently earned four Platinum certifications for his singles “Buy Me A Boat” (four-time Platinum), “Good Vibes,” “Drunk Girl” and “Fix A Drink.”
