Rebecca Lynn Howard To Release New Album In May

March 17, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Rebecca Lynn Howard is set to release her new album, I’m Not Who You Think I Am, May 2 via Lee Brice‘s Pump House Records. Howard recently released sentimental new single “Seventeen” from the project, alongside a companion video.

“When I wrote ‘Seventeen’ almost 20 years ago, I had no idea that I was penning a song for my future self,” shares Howard. “This song has just the right amount of longing and nostalgia to fill my heart right on up. I’m transported to a simpler time, when my parents were most annoying to me, but they were always right. God, I wish I could go back in time. But here I am today, and I’m doing ok. And knowing that so many others will see their own heart in the lyrics of this song means everything.”

I’m Not Who You Think I Am features 11 songs inspired by personal stories of strength and resilience. Produced by Elisha Hoffman, Howard’s husband, and executive produced by Brice, the project blends country, roots and soul, and marks Howard’s first LP since 2008’s No Rules. Howard co-wrote the entire album alongside Nathan Chapman, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Jason Matthews, Rachel Thibodeau and more, and shows off her expert multi-instrumentalism on nine tracks, playing acoustic guitar, bass, and hammered dulcimer throughout.

The album is a family-centered project, with references to her Appalachian heritage, highlighted in tracks like “I Am My Mother,” co-written with Thibodeau, Johnson and Jamie Floyd, as well as “Attie Mae Maw,” which includes the vocals of her grandmother.

Howard will join Brice for a run of dates on his “You, Me & My Guitar Tour” through the end of this month.

1. “How High” (Rebecca Lynn Howard, Elisha Hoffman, Marti Frederiksen)
