His first-ever acoustic album. It’s safe to say that 2025 was a pretty huge year for Parker McCollum. In addition to performing at President Donald Trump’s inaugural ball in January and co-hosting Better Together Texas and raising over $8.5 million for flood relief with Miranda Lambert in August, the Texas native dropped what he called his most personal record to date, his self-titled, fifth studio album, back on June 27th. Ultimately, the self-titled release felt like a return to form for McCollum. Though it didn’t quite have the feel of the highly lauded Limestone Kid that many were expecting, it was a record filled with a plethora of quality tracks. From the sprawling murder ballad, “My Blue,” and the Cody Johnson collaboration, “Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues,” to high-energy tracks like his #1 hit, “What Kinda Man,” and “Big Sky,” he delivered a rock-solid effort. Despite there still being rumblings from fans about the album not being Limestone Kid, it was clear that McCollum was through the roof with the record upon its completion, and it ended up paying dividends for the Texas native. Back in May, he scored his first Album of the Year win at the 61st annual ACM Awards, beating out the likes of Zach Top’s Grammy-winning Ain’t In It For My Health, Morgan Wallen’s record-breaking I’m The Problem and more. View this post on Instagram The win was a huge personal testament for McCollum as it really pushed him creatively and almost broke him. McCollum previously revealed that, as he was preparing for his 2025 self-titled album, he completely lost the creative spark he had throughout his career. “I was kind of desperate. To be 100% honest, I was about to walk away about 18 months ago. I was about to hang it up completely. Man, I had just kind of lost the buzz creatively, and I had been touring nonstop since I was 22 years old. Creatively, I was like, I got nothing.” And it looks like he’s wasting no time on his next project. Taking to his Instagram story yesterday afternoon, the “Pretty Heart” singer would announce that he’s flying to Los Angeles for a four-day recording session for his next project: an acoustic album, admitting he has no idea where it’s going to go at this point. “LA bound. 4 days recording an acoustic album for you guys. No idea where this is about to go. We will find the edge.” Obviously, there is no additional information surrounding the project at this point. With that being said, however, one thing to keep in mind is the fact that he and Koe Wetzel admitted earlier in the year that they were in the studio together working on the long-awaited follow-up to “Love.” Back in March during an interview with Road Dog Texas, McCollum revealed that they spent an entire day in the studio back in January, noting they spent the entire day writing and recording. “I really want to be honest about it. We were in the studio together about four weeks ago. We spent a whole day in the studio writing and recording.” Koe would chime in, confirming they got a song out of the session before joking that they need to outdo “Love” if they want to officially release the track. “We got a song out of it, but we need to outdo ‘Love.’” Of course, this is all speculation, but God knows that the long-time friends will break the internet if another collaboration finds its way on this project. For now, however, we’ll just have to wait and see. Before you go, fire up his latest release, “Killin’ Me,” with Lee Ann Womack.
