Parker McCollum is one of the most influential artists in the new wave of country music. He brings a fresh approach to his sound and songwriting, while still staying true to traditional country music values. His latest release, "What Kinda Man," is out now. It's a nod to his Texas roots and just good, old-fashioned country music. McCollum, Natalie Hemby, and Jeremy Spillman wrote the song, and Frank Liddell and Eric Masse produced it. It's got a lot of different instruments in it, like acoustic and electric guitar, foot-stomping drum and bass, and a harmonica that really stands out. McCollum's vocals are really captivating, too. "What Kinda Man" is set to hit country radio on Monday (9/16), following four consecutive No. 1 singles.
Don't miss McCollum's debut TV performance of "What Kinda Man" at the upcoming People's Choice Country Awards. He'll be taking the Grand Ole Opry House stage to present the iconic venue with a new show. He's also up for "Cover Song of 2024" with his version of John Mayer's "Perfectly Lonely." The People's Choice Country Awards will be broadcast live from the Opry House on September 26th on NBC, with streaming available on Peacock.
McCollum is up for "Song of the Year" at the 58th CMA Awards with his Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, "Burn It Down," which he co-wrote with Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose.
Fans can also hear McCollum on fellow Texan Miranda Lambert's latest album, Postcards from Texas, on the beautifully melodic track "Santa Fe," which is also out today.
