Charlie Worsham Announces Sophomore Album, ‘Beginning Of Things’
“I had fallen out of love with music, and making this record put me back in love with it on a level I hadn’t felt since I was a teenager," said Worsham.
More than three years after releasing his debut album Rubberband, Charlie Worsham will fill fans craving for new music when he releases his sophomore project Beginning Of Things on April 21. The project features 13 songs, nine of which the Mississippi native co-wrote.
“We had so much fun,” Worsham said of working with co-producers Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, Aubrie Sellers) and Eric Masse (Rayland Baxter, Mikky Ekko) with Arturo Buenahora, Jr. (Eric Church, Dierks Bentley) serving as the Executive Producer. “I had fallen out of love with music, and making this record put me back in love with it on a level I hadn’t felt since I was a teenager. ‘Beginning Of Things’ was a challenge in surrendering control and trusting my own talent. I’m confident that these songs and these recordings capture my musical geography and personal truth, and at the end of the day, I’m convinced that is the ultimate purpose of an artist—to speak one’s truth.”
While also working on the album, Worsham has also been actively involved in music education and recently founded the Follow Your Heart Scholarship Fund, in partnership with The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. The Scholarship Fund benefits the youth of Worsham’s hometown of Grenada, MS and has raised nearly $50,000 in its first year.
Fans who pre-order Beginning of Things on iTunes will get an instant download of five songs, including the title track, beginning Friday, January 27.
