Luke Grimes drops his highly anticipated sophomore album Redbird tomorrow, April 3. The Yellowstone star’s 10-track project arrives with stripped-down, emotionally direct storytelling that marks his most personal work to date.

Recorded at Legendary Nashville and Savannah Studios

Redbird was recorded primarily at Georgia May Studio in Savannah and RCA Studio A in historic Nashville. The sessions brought together Luke Grimes with Grammy-winner Dave Cobb and collaborators Jessie Jo Dillon, Natalie Hemby, and others. Grimes co-wrote much of the project and contributed acoustic guitar, percussion, and drums throughout. The recording approach emphasizes classic country foundations and organic instrumentation over modern production flourishes.

This stripped-down aesthetic allows Grimes’ steady baritone and emotionally direct songwriting to lead without spectacle. Every track was crafted to serve the story being told, with clarity favored over complexity throughout the 10-song journey.

What the Album Explores Across Ten Tracks

Redbird navigates universal life themes with a modern yet tradition-rooted perspective. Songs like “Drink Drink Drink” and “Haunted” wrestle with self-doubt and personal reckoning. Meanwhile, “Without You,” “A Little More Time,” and the lead single “Love You Now” reflect on commitment, loss, and the quiet strength found in staying present during life’s highest and lowest moments.

Track Number	Song Title	Themes
1	High Rise Jeans	Opening statement
3	Love You Now (Lead Single)	Commitment, presence
5	Drink Drink Drink	Self-doubt, reckoning
10	A Little More Time	Loss, resilience

“Making Redbird was a cathartic experience in many ways. Sometimes the highs and lows of life are too much to express with words, so song becomes necessary. As deeply personal as it is, the themes are simple and universal: love, loss, and learning along the way.”

— Luke Grimes, Artist

Dave Cobb Brings Studio Mastery to Every Detail

Dave Cobb’s production fingerprints shape every moment of Redbird. The Grammy-winner has previously helmed albums for Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Sturgill Simpson, and Jason Isbell. Cobb’s reputation rests on capturing authentic performances and favoring emotional truth over technical perfection. For Grimes, this meant creating space for vulnerability and allowing the Yellowstone actor’s musicianship to shine alongside his baritone voice. The producer’s hands earned recognition for extracting the best performances from collaborators while maintaining sonic cohesion across diverse material.

Why Country Audiences Should Circle April 3 on Their Calendar Tomorrow

Luke Grimes arrives at this sophomore moment with massive advantages. His debut self-titled album achieved 200 million global streams, and breakout track “No Horse to Ride” showcased his ability to write memorable country songs. With Redbird, he doubles down on craft and authenticity, delivering a cohesive project that reflects an artist confident in his voice and committed to longevity. Country radio programmers and streaming audiences will find 10 reasons to return to this album repeatedly, making tomorrow’s release essential listening in the modern country landscape.
