Greylan James Slates Debut Album For November

/by

Greylan James will release his self-titled debut album on Nov. 13 via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment.

The project includes 13 original songs, all co-written by James, with 11 produced or co-produced by him, along with a cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.” Throughout the album, James draws from his own experiences, pairing personal lyrics with honest storytelling. The cover features his dog, Knox.

“I’ve spent the past 10 years in town writing songs for other artists while trying to navigate becoming the artist I always dreamed of being,” shares James. “After the past year, I feel like I’ve found my footing, and it’s now the perfect time to share my story through my self-titled debut album. This is the first time I’ve truly let people see all of me, from the good, the bad, the mistakes, the memories and everything in between. I’m so excited to finally be releasing my debut project for the fans and everyone who has been on this journey with me.”

Across the 13 tracks, James co-wrote with Chase McGill, Emily Weisband, Rocky Block, Sam Ellis and more. Co-production on the project includes James, Jason Massey, Brock Berryhill, Julian Raymond and Dann Huff.

Along with the album announcement, James has released “Water At A Wedding (her side)” featuring Gabriella Rose. The new version came from fans creating their own perspectives of the song, prompting James to bring in Rose to officially tell the story from the woman’s point of view. The original “Water At A Wedding” has become a career milestone for James and is currently climbing inside the Top 20 at country radio.

The Knoxville native will embark on his first headline tour, “Wedding Season: The Tour,” next month in West Virginia. He will also join Kenny Chesney as an opening act for all dates of the “Original Vibe Room Tour.” In the past year, James’ songs have been recorded by Morgan Wallen, HARDY, Cole Swindell, Blake Shelton and others, building on previous credits with Chesney, Chris Young, Bailey Zimmerman and more.
