Rhett looks ahead to "Center Point Road"
The disc is named for the street grew up on in Nashville. Rhett had a hand a writing all 16 songs, the first time he has not used outside writers for at least one song. "Look What God Gave Her" is the first single.
"For me, Center Point Road really symbolizes what it was like to grow up in Hendersonville," said Rhett. "First dates, first football games, first heartbreak, first kisses, success and failures. I really feel like that road shaped who I am today, and it felt fitting because the record, for the most part, is pretty nostalgic. Songs like 'Almost,' 'That Old Truck' and especially 'Center Point Road,' really describe who I was as a kid and teenager, and who I've become as an adult."
"On this one, I just got back to why I wanted to make music in the first place - and that was writing great songs. This is one of those records that every time I listen back to it, it still feels new," Rhett said.
Rhett produced the release with long-time companions Dann Huff, Jesse Frasure and Julian Bunetta.
