Brian Kelley plans to speak his Tennessee Truth with the release of his full-length debut album on May 10 via Big Machine Records.

Produced by Dann Huff, the project was crafted to incorporate both ’90s country elements and sounds designed to electrify the largest venues. Throughout Tennessee Truth, Kelley attests to the rejuvenation that rural living and everlasting love can provide as well as the power of guitars. He notes, “It’s a way for me to express myself and my family and our values.”

The Diamond-selling artist co-wrote eight of the album’s 12 tracks including single “Kiss My Boots,” which Kelley considers to be the most personal lyrical statement of his songwriting career. He shared the song today (March 6) along with it’s accompanying Ben Christensen-directed video.

“It was healing to write. I feel released now,” says Kelley of the track. “Everyone processes things differently. I went inward. I went to work and stayed busy. I’m proud of myself for doing it that way. It was worth it. Now, I have a song that helped me through a tough time. Hopefully, ‘Kiss My Boots’ can help a lot of people [by] giv[ing] them some confidence [to] help them get their power back.”
