Rhett goes deluxe
The 18-track album includes 5 unreleased songs, including his new single "Star Of The Show" and a remix of his ACM and Billboard Music Award winning "Die A Happy Man" featuring Tori Kelly. "Star Of The Show" goes for adds on Friday.
"'Star of the Show' is one of those songs that I have lived with for a while and kept coming up as a song we needed to record and get to the fans," said Rhett. "I wrote it with my dad right after I got married, and it was the first song I ever wrote about Lauren (Rhett's wife). It was a staple in our set before we had any hits, and fans still request it to this day. The Deluxe allows us to thank our fans for an incredible year by putting out a few new songs like this one, and also by reworking a couple of favorites by adding some friends into the mix."
Produced by Rhett, the album has produced three chart-toppers including the 2X Platinum, six-week number one and ACM award-winning "Die A Happy Man" as well as Platinum certified number ones "T-Shirt" and "Crash And Burn."

CD reviews for Thomas Rhett
Thomas Rhett's "Where We Started" begins with a wonderfully positive relationship song titled "The Hill." Over a quiet, acoustic guitar arrangement, Rhett sings of how a successful marriage is the hill he wants to die on. In other words, if he's going to fight for anything, he's going to battle for his romantic partnership. Unsurprisingly, Lori McKenna had a part in writing it. When it comes to setting the right priorities in life, McKenna is one of our greatest ...
Thomas Rhett is in the artistic zone. Rhett Atkins' boy never really struggled to get noticed, but starting around 2015, his impact went nuclear – "Die A Happy Man" wasn't just a number one, but a monster that stayed there for two months. The ACM Award for Entertainer of the Year still carries a lot of weight, and Rhett nabbed it in 2019.
Still, Rhett's sound has its doubters – a lot of the air-quote country hits were grafted to other dance, pop and soul styles. ...
Thomas Rhett represents a dilemma for traditional country music fans. Namely, that he doesn't create much country music that appeals to traditional tastes. Although "Center Point Road" doesn't entirely reverse that trend, even during its most overtly pop moments, this new collection of songs is still a pretty good one.
The best song is also a love song - to a truck - titled "That Old Truck." It's the kind of song that only makes sense within country music circles. ...
