Wallen surprises with Abbey Road Sessions release

Monday, March 4, 2024 – One year ago Sunday, Morgan Wallen released "One Thing At A Time," an album that went on to top the Billboard Top 200 chart for 18 non-consecutive weeks. Wallen surprised-released his "Abbey Road Sessions" on Sunday.

Songs were recorded in London in Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios on Dec. 5, 2023.

"Playing the O2 in London last fall and getting to record at Abbey Road, where so much iconic music has been made, was legendary for me and my band. We will never forget it," said Wallen of his trip overseas that included a sold-out show at the O2 for his first-time playing London. "I'm so excited to release these Abbey Road Sessions for my fans on the one-year anniversary of 'One Thing At A Time'. They make all this possible."

The track list is:
1. Thinkin' Bout Me (Abbey Road Sessions)
2. Lies Lies Lies (Abbey Road Sessions)
3. Sunrise (Abbey Road Sessions)
4. Everything I Love (Abbey Road Sessions)
5. I Wrote The Book (Abbey Road Sessions)
6. I Deserve A Drink (Abbey Road Sessions)
7. Graveyard Whistling (Abbey Road Sessions)

The digital series includes five live recordings from "One Thing At A Time," an unreleased song, "Lies Lies Lies," and a never-before-recorded cover of Nothing But Thieves' "Graveyard Whistling."

CD reviews for Morgan Wallen

CD review - One Thing At A Time Morgan Wallen's album, which is longer than the average movie or concert (at nearly two hours), is too long. Perhaps even a Wallen apologist would agree with that assessment. Yes, it may be possible to have too much of a good thing. Few artists can create such an epic full-length without at least a little filler. Wallen's good, but not that good. However, all the good stuff on this song-packed release is extremely good, and worthy of our attention. The hits far outweigh the misses. ...
CD review - Dangerous: The Double Album The buzz in the industry is that Morgan Wallen is primed to be the next big country music superstar. If prognosticators are correct with this prediction, the man fully deserves all the recognition. Proof positive is his "Dangerous: The Double Album," which is a humongous 30 songs long! It's a two-CD set. Not like a double album from back in the LP era, but a double full-length CD effort. Therefore, if you want to take a deep dive with this one, make sure you have plenty of air in your scuba tank. ...
CD review - If I Know Me "Like a lot of people my age, I didn't necessarily grow up listening to country music...I grew up living it." It's a little unsettling thought from the 24-year old Morgan Wallen. You wouldn't want to hear from your doctor that they substituted book learning for feel. But music may well be different, and Wallen does have some legitimate country cred - he hails not far from the Tennessee Cumberland Gap and went to Kenny Chesney's high school (What an alumni party that would be!). ...
