Info for Smoky Mountains

One of our favorite rising country artists has officially announced the release date for his debut album! Conner Smith‘s debut album, titled Smoky Mountains is coming out January 26th.

The collection includes the Gold-certified “Take It Slow,” the viral hit “I Hate Alabama” and current top-20-and-climbing single “Creek Will Rise,” as well as the title track, invoking the front-porch jam sessions of days gone by—and the pull at Smith’s core of old versus new, the call of adventure and the longing for home.

The personal 12-song project mixes prime-of-life passion with old-soul perspective, classic style and contemporary spirit, and is a reflection of the artist himself. All but one of the tracks was co-written by Smith, working alongside hitmakers like Chase McGill, Thomas Rhett, Ryan Hurd, Devin Dawson, Jessi Alexander and more.

“It very much took 23 years to make these 12 songs,” Smith says. “I felt like I found my own lane I was able to drive down, and I’m really proud of what it has become. There’s not a wasted second on the record—every song matters. And I think it really shows all the different things that make me ‘me’—as a songwriter, a vocalist and as a performer.”

Conner Smith

Conner Smith
Just 23 years old and already a seasoned veteran of Nashville’s elite songwriting community, Conner Smith has emerged as one of Country’s most hotly-anticipated artists – one knows the past can still inspire the present, and good things come to those who wait. An uncommon talent mixing prime-of-life passion with old-soul perspective, the rising singer/songwriter has spent 15 years matching a honeyed vocal to propulsive hints of bluegrass and the warmth of ‘90s Country, an instant-classic sound infused with riveting modern appeal. Moving Country forward while remembering its all-natural roots, Smith’s long-anticipated full-length debut album SMOKY MOUNTAINS (The Valory Music Co.), arriving January 26, is meant to stand the test of time. Featuring GOLD-certified “Take It Slow,” viral hit “I Hate Alabama” and current Top-15-and-climbing single “Creek Will Rise,” his deeply personal 12-song project is one of classic style and contemporary spirit, and a reflection of the artist himself. These songs, among others, laid an artistic foundation that earned Smith Artist to Watch status from Spotify, Amazon Music and Opry NextStage, while also making him the only Country artist on Pandora’s Ten List 2022 and secured 2023 recognition from MusicRow Next Big Thing and CMT Listen Up as well as joining the CRS New Faces Class of 2024. Deemed “an unstoppable force to be reckoned with” by CMT, Smith’s authentic storytelling and rich, soulful voice has resonated with audiences nationwide, earning him a dedicated and passionate following. Recently touring alongside some of Country’s biggest artists including Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Chase Rice and Jordan Davis, the “future entertainer of the year” (Morning Hangover) continues to put on his signature “high energy fan forward show” (All Country News) while headlining his CREEK WILL RISE TOUR through February 24 in the US before traveling across the pond for C2C Festival in March, joining CMA’s Introducing Nashville Line Up for performances throughout the U.K. and Europe.
