Russell Dickerson’s Latest Album ‘Famous Back Home’ Due In August
Russell Dickerson will wrap the summer with the release of his fourth studio album Famous Back Home on Aug. 22 via Triple Tigers.
The 12-track project includes 10 songs co-written by Dickerson, along with the first two outside cuts of his career. Co-produced by Dickerson and longtime collaborator Josh Kerr, plus Casey Brown and Chris LaCorte on select songs, the album highlights Dickerson’s evolution as both an artist and a storyteller and reflects who he is at his core: a hitmaker, husband, father and proud hometown hero.
The album features “Dust,” a nod to David Lee Murphy’s “Dust on the Bottle,” and “Heard It In A Country Song,” which salutes some of country’s most iconic lyrics with ‘90s-inspired hooks and Dickerson’s roots-R&B groove. Vince Gill lends his vocals to “Never Leave,” a stripped-down plea for redemption, while “Sippin On Top of the World” delivers a stadium-ready anthem. Up-tempo highlights like “Worth Your Wild” and “Sunrise in My Silverado” bring fresh energy, fusing ‘80s pop influences with golden-hour charm. “For A Truck” and “Love That I Love You” explore love, loss and longing, while “16 Me” reflects on growing up and looking back. The already-released single “Bones” pays tribute to lasting, unconditional love, while “Happen To Me” marked the biggest streaming debut of Dickerson’s career.
“Growing up in a small town, I had this idea ‘I’m going to make it out of here. I’m going to make it big. Everybody is going to know my name,’” says Dickerson. “But then you have a family and it’s like, ‘Actually, all I want to do is be famous at home.’ The further down this road I get, the more I realize the only thing that matters is my family.”
Dickerson launched the second leg of his “Russellmania Tour” yesterday (June 5) with a sold-out show in New York, where he was also honored with a double Platinum certification for “Love You Like I Used To.”
