Kelley tells the "Tennessee Truth"

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 – Brian Kelley will continue his solo career with the release of his debut CD on Big Machine, "Tennessee Truth," out May 10.

Kelley co-wrote eight of the 12 songs produced by Dann Huff.

"It's a way for me to express myself and my family and our values," said Kelley, one-half of Florida Georgia Line.

The track list is:
1. "Acres"
2. "How We're Livin'"
3. "King Ranch"
4. "Trucks, Ducks, Bucks & Beer"
5. "Goin' Places"
6. "Barefeet Or Boots"
7. "Dirt Road Date Night"
8. "10 O'Clock On The Dock"
9. "See You Next Summer"
10. "Doin' Nothin'"
11. "Dirt Cheap"
12. "Kiss My Boots"

"It was healing to write. I feel released now," Kelley said of "Kiss My. Boots." "Everyone processes things differently. I went inward. I went to work and stayed busy. I'm proud of myself for doing it that way. It was worth it. Now, I have a song that helped me through a tough time. Hopefully, 'Kiss My Boots' can help a lot of people. Give them some confidence and help them get their power back."

Kelley released the song today in addition to a Ben Christensen-directed music video captured in Georgia.

Kelley also will release "See You Next Summer," "Dirt Cheap," "How We're Livin'" and "Trucks, Ducks, Bucks & Beer" before the CD comes out.

With Florida Georgia Line on hiatus, Kelley and Tyler Hubbard both have released solo material. Kelley formed his own label, Nashville South. On April 13, 2021, he released the EP "BK's Wave Pack." The songs from the EP were included on his debut studio album, "Sunshine State of Mind," which came out June 25, 2021 on Warner Nashville. He released the song "American Spirit" on Big Machine in June 2022, but it is not included on the upcoming album.

CD reviews for Brian Kelley

CD review - Sunshine State Of Mind Brian Kelley may be one half of Florida Georgia Line (by some accounts, disease-spreading vectors of bro country), but "Sunshine State of Mind" is not a FGL album – not by a long shot. Like his high-profile duo gig, Kelley's solo venture is not at all lyrically deep. This is a party album. But as party albums go, it's a good one. This is also a thematically consistent album. Most of its songs include sailing, sun, the beach or all three. It's a summer ...
