Dylan Scott, the multi-platinum country artist, has officially released his third studio album, “Easy Does It.” The album, which contains 11 tracks, explores various themes including heartbreak, love, and the nostalgia of his small-town roots. The Tennessean has hailed Scott’s distinct gruff baritone, which remains a central feature of his music, praising the album’s ability to shine whether accompanied by a full band or in simpler arrangements.
Scott shares his optimism about this new chapter in his life and career, attributing his positive mindset to personal milestones and growth. “I don’t know if that’s because of my kids or being married for so long, or if it’s just getting into my 30s, but I don’t stress. I don’t worry like I used to,” he said, describing his current outlook as an “Easy Does It” phase.
The album’s lead track, “What He’ll Never Have,” is already gaining traction as potentially his biggest hit, racking up over 300 million streams globally. Other standout tracks include “This Town’s Been Too Good To Us,” which reached number one, and engaging anthems like “I Owe You One” and “Country Till I Die.” Notably, the latter has been described as a “clever twist on a honky-tonk trope.”
Scott is also known for his heartfelt love songs, and “Easy Does It” continues that trend. The serene “Back Forty” serves as a loving tribute to his family life, while “Twice,” which he felt an immediate connection to, highlights his enduring relationship with his wife.
This year has already been successful for Scott, with two number-one singles to his name and the conclusion of his headlining Country Till I Die Tour, which saw ten sold-out shows and record-breaking attendance. Looking ahead, Scott is preparing for his headlining Easy Does It Tour this fall, with special guests joining him in select cities.
Fans can catch Scott performing live next week at CMA Fest, including appearances at Spotify House on June 6 and Nissan Stadium on June 8.
This new release not only showcases Scott’s artistry but also embodies his journey through life, filled with confidence, family, and the joy of creating music. For those interested, tickets and more details about Scott’s upcoming performances can be found at dylanscottcountry.com.
