“There’s a lot of life on this record,” shares Lynch. “Falling for somebody, missing somebody, looking back at things you might do differently now, going out and having a damn good time, and figuring out what matters when everything else gets quiet. I’ve lived a lot of life since my first record, and I wanted this album to feel true to where I am today while still sounding like me.”
Lynch co-wrote seven of the album’s 12 tracks, working alongside Nashville songwriters including Zach Crowell, Justin Ebach, Josh Thompson, Jameson Rodgers, Brent Anderson, Hunter Phelps, Ben Johnson, John Byron and more. Production is shared across the collection by Ross Copperman, Zach Crowell and Austin Shawn, with MC4D producing and featuring on album closer “Home To You.” Clean Slate also features Ashley Cooke on “How You Been.”
Before Clean Slate arrives in full, Lynch leads off with “Made In A Bottle.” Written by Jesse Frasure, Mark Holman and Geoff Warburton and produced by Ross Copperman, the honky-tonk tune finds Lynch making the rounds from bar to bar only to learn there isn’t a pour strong enough to outrun the memory of the one he lost.

“We started playing ‘Made In A Bottle’ live this summer and the reaction was immediate,” adds Lynch. “I love the energy of it and the rhythmic pocket in that chorus. You can’t help but move along to it. Production-wise, we wanted it to feel like you’re right there in the middle of our live show. There aren’t a bunch of studio tricks. It’s real instruments and real players, and it’s just a great honky-tonk song. We’ve road-tested it all summer, and it fits our show perfectly.”
The announcement follows Lynch’s Setlist Staples - 10 #1’s, the album collection brings together all 10 of his Country radio chart-toppers. Released August 28, it arrived alongside new RIAA certifications for “Small Town Boy” (5X PLATINUM), “Thinking ’Bout You” (4X PLATINUM), “Ridin’ Roads” (2X PLATINUM) and “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)” (PLATINUM).
Of the chart toppers, Lynch says “These are the songs that have stayed with me and the fans from the very beginning,” shares Lynch. “No matter how much new music I make, these are the records that always find their way back into the show. They’ve become part of the soundtrack to so many memories over the years, and I love getting to relive those moments every night onstage.”
He has shows slated throughout the fall and into 2027, including a September 30 return to the Grand Ole Opry, followed by a special post-show event at Studio A. For tickets and a full list of upcoming dates, visit HERE.
