New & Upcoming Country Albums In 2023: Release Dates

It's safe to say that, here at Holler, we love a country album. 2022 was a particularly great one for them, as you'll see from the Holler Albums of the Year List.

We expect 2023 to absolutely be no exception, with many a record already in waiting in what's set to be a bumper year.

So, who has a country album coming out in 2023, we hear you ask? Read below to find out.

Our featured album this week is from Rodney Rice! His third studio album, which is self-titled, captures fleeting glimmers of the emotional moments in life, turning them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope, loss and love.
