McCollum unveils new disc

Monday, March 24, 2025 – Parker McCollum told a RodeoHouston crowd last night that he would release his fifth studio album, a self-titled disc, on UMG on June 27.

Produced by Frank Lindell and recorded at Power Station recording studio in New York City, McCollum said, "It is the best thing I've ever done. This record is honest, this record is raw, this record is one thousand percent authentic, Parker, and it feels really good to get back to writing and recording songs like I always wanted to."

Writing on all tracks, excluding two cover songs, he teamed with songwriters such as Jon Randall, Randy Rogers, Lori McKenna, Randy Montana, Liz Rose, Natalie Hemby and Monty Criswell.

McCollum's last release was "Never Enough" in 2023. The disc contained the number one hits "Burn It Down" and "To Be Loved By You." McCollum recently released the song "To Be Loved By You."
