Diamond-selling country superstar Brian Kelley has released his deeply personal album, Ed & Mary Margaret’s Son.
Written solely by Kelley, the full-length project features 12 of the most authentic and diverse songs of the hitmaker’s groundbreaking career.
A deep dive into Kelley’s identity, as well as an exploration of family ties, rural values, and the legacy we leave behind, the set follows the May 2024 release of Tennessee Truth.
“I’m probably more excited than ever to be making music and writing songs. I’m in a place in my life where I’m going to record and write whatever I want and put it out whenever I want, and that excites me . I just have so much freedom to go wherever my creativity and my authenticity takes me. So that just fires me up,” shares Kelley. “To be honest with you, this record caught me off guard. But once I had an inkling of what it could be, and what was happening, it was a moment I didn’t want to pass up.”
Kelley adds, “What I want fans to know and feel is that these are all brand-new songs. These aren’t songs that were written two or three years ago, this is a chapter in time. It’s a season, and the way this record sounds, it’s the soundtrack to my life these past couple months. So, I just went for it.”
Covering vivid personal themes with a unique clarity of voice – from heart-on-his-sleeve pride to his keenness for a party anthem, a little waterfront wisdom, self-manifestation, and more – the new tracks were penned over the last few months, then recorded and produced with Katlin Owen at the helm as executive producer and co-produced by Caleb Gilbreath, and featuring much of Kelley’s touring band.
