Westbrook teams up with Lambert
"Getting to have a song out with Miranda Lambert, and also pay tribute to one of my favorite songs of hers with my own version, is surreal."
Westbrook just celebrated his one-year anniversary of releasing original music. Hudson is on tour now, wrapping his nearly sold-out spring Take Your Time headline tour before diving headfirst into his 2025 Summer Tour and opening for Parker McCollum on select dates this fall.
Westbrook, who grew up in Stephenville, Texas, grew up on Red Dirt music and was later influenced by George Strait, Turnpike Troubadours, Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel and Tracy Lawrence. After a 2024 debut with viral first release "Take It Slow," Westbrook pursued music whiole enrolled at Texas Tech University, including debut Texas radio single and chart-topper, "Two Way Drive" and debut single to country radio, "House Again."

It's not revolutionary, as the title might suggest. Instead, this CD is chock full of topnotch songs that are both memorable and sincere and never sound slick or overproduced. (Come to think of it, such old school values as these may in fact be revolutionary around Nashville).

Even though it sounds like a cliche from the big book of country songwriting, the truth is that, when the timing's right, a loser can end up being the biggest winner of all.
