With two sons and a wife who’s his muse, Russell Dickerson‘s focusing on being Famous Back Home on his fourth album.
“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,’” he says. “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.”
The 12-track collection includes his hits “Bones” and “Happen to Me,” as well as two songs he didn’t write — a career first.
Vince Gill guests on “Never Leave,” while “Dust” tips its hat to David Lee Murphy‘s “Dust on the Bottle.” “Heard It in a Country Song” taps into the nostalgia of the ’90s.
