Parker McCollum’s self-titled record is set to be released on Friday (June 27), after the musician decided to scrap his initial attempt at making his fifth album even though it was half-finished. “I got to a point where I was like, ‘I’ve got to go challenge myself again and go find that buzz again,’” says the 33-year-old country star. “It felt like, ‘Just what are you made of? Is this to ride off into the sunset now, or is this to go make your best record?” After finishing his Burn It Down Tour, McCollum went to New York City to record with producers Frank Liddell and Eric Masse at the legendary Power Station Studio. “Some people hate New York City. I love it,” McCollum says. “It was the first city that came to my mind. I was like, ‘You’re going to be the most confident son of a bitch for the next seven days in the studio.’ It was finally the album you always wondered if you were good enough to make.” (Billboard)
