Old Dominion's Tursi plans solo disc
"This process was purely creative. I wasn't even sure I'd release a project, but when I played it for my team, they all reacted really positively," said Tursi. "It felt like everything aligned to finally share it."
"This may be a little departure from what you are used to from me (don't worry, I'm NOT leaving OD!!), but I hope you take the ride with me! I'm very proud if it<" Tursi said on X.
"Parallel Love" is a collection of songs written over the past 10 years that are reflective. Created and released with the band's full support, the project features co-writes with Stephen Wilson Jr., Dan Isbell, Jessi Alexander, and Matt Jenkins. Tursi produced the entire project with Ben West and Marc Scibilia co-producing select tracks.
In addition to his role with the reigning CMA and ACM Vocal Group of the Year, Tursi is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, has earned multiple CMA Triple Play Awards for writing three number one songs in a 12-month period, been named AIMP Artist Writer of the Year, and co-written hits for Kenny Chesney ("Save It For a Rainy Day"), Luke Bryan ("Light It Up"), Tyler Hubbard, Josh Turner, Darius Rucker and Cole Swindell.
Tursi was once a member of the Washington, D.C. rock band Army of Me and joined Old Dominion in 2012.

CD reviews for Old Dominion
There are two ways to listen to Old Dominion's music. You can simply enjoy it for the feel, the lyrics, the beat...or you can study it as a master class in contemporary country songwriting and record production.

With that said, though, there's nothing on this new release as immediately catchy as "Snapback." Nevertheless, the vocal-only harmonies introducing "Not Everything's About You," are a beautiful thing. ...
