Janson’s latest album, consisting of 14 tracks, was produced by Julian Raymond under the Big Machine Label Group/Harpeth 60 Records. This project aims to highlight every aspect of the talented artist, showcasing his outlaw persona.
The album’s lead single, titled “All I Need Is You,” is currently gaining momentum on country radio and steadily approaching the Top 20 chart.
As his new music received great success right away, the question on everyone’s mind was the source of his inspiration that’s fueling his fresh perspective on country.
“I got pulled over in Cook County, Georgia with my wife and kids heading back to Tennessee and that’s really where it all started…the outlaw side of me. I like to drive fast,” he admitted.
“I’ve never been the type of person to walk along the line of what somebody says I should do,” he added. “I just cut my own path and see if it works, and thank God it has so far.”
Along with a new musical perspective, also came new collaboration opportunities. On his new album, Janson has a track, titled “21 Forever,” that features none other than musical legends Dolly Parton and Slash.
“Collaborating with Dolly and Slash is a dream come true,” he said. “It’s a really validating moment for me.” “There’s been many times in my career where I’ve felt like ‘I made it,'” he continued. “But those two just top it all.” The Outlaw Side of Me also features special guests Brantley Gilbert and Darius Rucker.
Chris Janson’s new album The Outlaw Side of Me is out NOW.
