Described by Holler as being a "frontrunner of this next generation of red dirt singer-songwriters," critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Gossett has announced his highly anticipated debut album, Westward, for July 18 via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records with the tenderly introspective ballad 'American Trail.'
The singer gave the song its first live run out in front of a packed crowd at Stagecoach Festival last weekend where he was performing on the Palomino Stage.
Written over the past two years while touring the world, the 17-track album is entirely self-produced by Gossett, who also wrote the bulk of the songs by himself, as he explores themes of love, family, faith and chasing one’s dreams.
