Russell Dickerson is 'Famous Back Home' in August

Multi-Platinum artist Russell Dickerson announced his fourth studio album, FAMOUS BACK HOME, set for release on Aug. 22 (via Triple Tigers). Ten of the 12 tracks were co-written by Dickerson. He co-produced with Josh Kerr, plus Casey Brown and Chris LaCorte on select songs.

“Growing up in a small town, I had this idea ‘I’m going to make it out of here. I’m going to make it big. Everybody is going to know my name,’” said Dickerson. "But then you have a family and it’s like, ‘Actually, all I want to do is be famous at home.’ The further down this road I get, the more I realize the only thing that matters is my family.”

“Dust” is a nod to David Lee Murphy’s “Dust on the Bottle,” and “Heard It In A Country Song” salutes some of country music's most iconic lyrics. “Never Leave” is a plea for redemption with Vince Gill on guest vocals. Both it and “Sippin On Top of the World” mark the first outside cuts of Dickerson's career. 

Says Dickerson, “I’m so pumped on this one. It’s just song by song...To go from ‘Yours’ to where we are now, it’s opened up a whole new facet of me and my personality. What you get on stage is so connected to these songs – it finally caught up to my personality, who I am.”

This week, Dickerson launched the second leg of his RUSSELLMANIA Tour with a sold-out show in New York, NY, where he was also honored with a 2X PLATINUM certification for “Love You Like I Used To.” For more tour details, visit RussellDickerson.com.
