William Beckmann Readies Major Label Debut Album

April 25, 2025/by Lauryn Sink

William Beckmann is slated to make his major label debut with the release of Whiskey Lies & Alibis, out June 20 via Warner Music Nashville. Produced by Jon Randall, the 12-song record is a layered country album that captures the sting of lost love and the clarity that follows. It is available for pre-order now.

“For me, an album is meant to be a photo album. It’s meant to capture a moment in time, and it’s supposed to last forever,” Beckmann explains. “That’s what I think we were able to do with this record. I’m confident that if I ever get to be an old man, I’ll look back on this and be like, ‘Yeah, we did it right.’”

The Texas native co-wrote eight tracks alongside songwriters including Jessie Jo Dillon, Jesse Frasure, Rhett Akins and more. With the announcement, Beckmann has released “Game I Like to Play,” a power ballad about diving headfirst into love, even when the odds are stacked against you.
