RECORD-SETTING SOPHOMORE LP LAUNCHES AS âONE OF COUNTRY MUSICâS MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUMS OF 2021â (ROLLING STONE)
"Started writing for this album two and a half years ago and had no idea what those two and a half years were going to bring. I tried to put all of those emotions from that time into one album but couldnât â so we decided to make two. I hope you listen and it brings you some escape, some joy, some peace. Thatâs what Iâve found in it. Thanks for all of the support and I canât wait to play these for yâall live one day."
LISTEN TOÂ DANGEROUS: THE DOUBLE ALBUMÂ HERE
Grounded by the Tennessee nativeâs gravelly, tobacco-tinged voice and rooted in his hometown tendencies, the 30-track double shot pushes boundaries across the board, marrying modern production styles, classic Country lyricism, and Wallenâs wide range of influences on over 90 minutes of new music. GQ raves, âWallen is that rare country artist with the range to pull off arena rock, easy-vibes Americana and traditional country ballads.â
Doubling down, Wallen tallies 16 credits as a songwriter on the collection alongside a highlight reel of Nashvilleâs finest collaborators, including Ashley Gorley, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, Rodney Clawson, and close friend Michael Hardy. Produced entirely by Joey Moi, with co-production on select tracks by Dave Cohen, Matt Dragstrem, Jacob Durrett, and Charlie Handsome, Dangerous is a continuation of the signature sound Wallen and Moi crafted on his Platinum-certified #1 debut, If I Know Me.
In celebration of the new release, Wallen will go Live From The Ryman for one night only this Tuesday, January 12th, on his YouTube and Facebook pages
Ending a record-breaking 2020 with a bang, Wallen debuted on Saturday Night Live and was profiled in The New Yorker, called âan Everyman rock starâ â read âHow Morgan Wallen Became The Most Wanted Man In Countryâ here.
