Lauderdale becomes a "Game Changer"
Operating under his own label, Sky Crunch Records, for the first time since 2016, Lauderdale recorded the CD at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, co-producing the release with Jay Weaver and pulling from songs he'd written over the last several years. "There's a mixture on this record of uplifting songs and, at the same time, songs of heartbreak and despair — because that's part of life as well," he said, "In the country song world especially, that's always been part of it. That's real life."
"Country music is constantly evolving, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for steel guitar and a Telecaster," Lauderdale said. "I have done my job on this record if people who love classic country feel like they can put it on or have it in their collection, and it would fit right in."
Lauderdale also was named a 2022 nominee for the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Lauderdale, along with 11 of his contemporaries, will be celebrated at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala in October where the Class of 2022 Hall of Fame inductees will be announced.
