Granger Smith Announces Debut Album “Remington”

Country music trailblazer Granger Smith rounded out a banner year in 2015 and confirms the release of his Wheelhouse Records debut album “Remington”, due out March 4, 2016.

Following their acclaimed collaboration on Smith’s 4×4 EP, “Remington” is co-produced by Granger and the esteemed Frank Rogers. The album will feature the hit single “Backroad Song,” which continues its ascent at Country Radio, catapulting into the Top 10 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts this week.

Remington delivers immensely relatable material through Granger’s vivid songwriting…

I’ve always thought of my albums as diaries of my life,” says Granger. “Some songs are easy and light-hearted, while others are painful and personal. During this time, we welcomed the birth of my little boy, and we lost my dad. My life was such a roller coaster during my time writing and recording Remington, and you can hear that journey in these songs.”

Granger effortlessly takes the listener on a ride with songs like “Tractor,” a poignant ode to his father and the impact he had on his life; and with “Blue Collar Dollars” by painting an authentic picture of small towns, hard work and young love. And fans are sure to rave about “Merica,” a brand new track featuring Granger’s wildly popular alter-ego, Earl Dibbles Jr.

Adding to the excitement surrounding the single, CMT will world premiere the official “Backroad Song” music video this weekend on CMT Hot 20 Countdown. Tune-in at 9am ET|8am CT this Saturday, January 16th and keep up with the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #CMThot20.
