Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum artist Lainey Wilson has just released her much-awaited new album, Whirlwind, through BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. The excitement doesn’t stop there, as the official music video for the album’s title track will premiere today on YouTube.
Produced by the Best in the Business
Whirlwind was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce, known for his work with Miranda Lambert and Eric Church. The album features 14 tracks, each showcasing Wilson’s distinct and captivating songwriting style. The current single, “Hang Tight Honey,” is making waves on the Country Airplay chart and is close to breaking into the top 10.
Lainey Wilson on Whirlwind
Reflecting on her latest work, Wilson shared, “Whirlwind is kind of the Western sister of Bell Bottom Country. Since that album, I have gotten to experience so many new things and meet folks from different walks of life. Because of that, I’ve become a better songwriter, and I have more understanding. I feel like I’ve truly stepped into what it is that I’m called to be doing. Ironically, I found my path within all the craziness—and that’s the whirlwind.”
A Monumental Year for Lainey Wilson
Whirlwind is another milestone in an already stellar career for Wilson. Over the past year, she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, and swept the ACM and CMA Awards, securing the prestigious Entertainer of the Year title at both events. This week, Wilson added two more honors to her collection at the ACM Honors: the Triple Crown Award, recognizing her achievements as Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and New Female Vocalist of the Year, and the Milestone Award, celebrating her outstanding contributions to country music.
On Tour: Country’s Cool Again
Known for her electrifying live performances, Wilson is continuing her momentum with the extensive “Country’s Cool Again” headline tour this fall. The tour includes sold-out stops at major venues like Los Angeles’ Greek Theater, Fresno’s Save Mart Center, and Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Arena. Fans can find the complete tour itinerary and ticket information at www.laineywilson.com/tour.
A Rising Star with Global Appeal
Originally from Baskin, Louisiana, and now based in Nashville, Lainey Wilson is poised for global stardom. Since her 2016 debut, Wilson has toured worldwide and released the Grammy and CMA Award-winning album Bell Bottom Country in 2022. Her unique sound has earned her rave reviews, with Variety calling it “one of the more irresistible collections to come out of the genre in some time,” and The Wall Street Journal noting, “Lainey Wilson’s rock-tinged country songs are taking Nashville—and beyond—by storm.” In addition to her singing career, Wilson is a prolific songwriter, having penned hits for artists like Post Malone, Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, and Ashley McBryde. She also made her acting debut in season five of Paramount’s hit show Yellowstone.
