RUSSELL DICKERSON RELEASES TITLE TRACK ‘FAMOUS BACK HOME’ – OUT NOW
Dickerson Joins Carly Pearce to Co-Host and Perform at 18th Annual ACM Honors, Set for Aug. 20
New Album FAMOUS BACK HOME – Out Aug. 22
NASHVILLE, TN – Multi-platinum entertainer Russell Dickerson drops the title track from his highly anticipated fourth studio album, FAMOUS BACK HOME, arriving Aug. 22 (via Triple Tigers). Co-written with longtime collaborators Parker Welling and Casey Brown, the heartfelt song reflects on the truth that real success isn’t measured by fame or accolades, but by love, family, and life’s everyday moments.

“Growing up in my small Tennessee town, I dreamed, ‘I’m going to make it out of here. I’m going to make it big. Everyone will know my name,” said Dickerson. “I’ve been truly blessed to live out that dream. But as my journey continued, I realized that winning the world wasn’t the real goal — it’s being famous back home, within the four walls of my own house. This song has become so meaningful to me because it’s a reminder that the truest kind of ‘famous’ comes from the people who’ve known you all along and making those closest to me proud.”
‘Famous Back Home’ contrasts the big dreams of making a name in the spotlight with the deeper fulfillment Dickerson finds in life with his wife and kids — from kitchen slow dances and bedtime stories to crayon drawings on the fridge. With warm, nostalgic imagery, he paints a portrait of being a “household name” where it matters most: at home. It’s an intimate, rootsy anthem that celebrates the blessings of ordinary life, proving that some of the greatest achievements can’t be found on any stage—but rather in the moments that make you Famous Back Home.
Leading into album release, Dickerson will co-host the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors alongside Carly Pearce on Wednesday, Aug. 20, where he will also perform at what’s often called the “Country Music Industry’s Favorite Night.” Limited tickets and premium seating options for ACM Honors are available now via AXS.
ABOUT RUSSELL DICKERSON:
Multi-Platinum chart-topper and Triple Tigers entertainer Russell Dickerson is no stranger to the grind. The country headliner first broke through by wearing his heart on his sleeve, launching a string of five deeply romantic No. 1 hits—“Yours” (3X Platinum), “Blue Tacoma” (2X Platinum), “Love You Like I Used To” (2X Platinum), “Every Little Thing” (Platinum), and “God Gave Me a Girl.” He followed that success with the slinky, soul-infused “She Likes It” (with Jake Scott) (2X Platinum), further showcasing his genre-blending style. Often inspired by his happy home life, they powered a rise which now includes 3 Billion career streams, industry-wide accolades and a solid reputation for lyrical brilliance, rooted in feel-good reflection and paired a good-natured grin. But what fans of his singles couldn’t always see was Dickerson’s fiery, sold-out tour showmanship. That changes with his highly anticipated fourth studio album, FAMOUS BACK HOME, out Aug. 22 (via Triple Tigers). Blending the tender family man with the wild-eyed performer from his SOLD-OUT RUSSELLMANIA TOUR 2025, the project marks a new era of confidence and creative range. Leading with the dance-floor-ready single “Happen to Me,” a seize-the-moment rocker full of sonic swagger, landed on the Billboard Hot 100—and scored his biggest streaming debut week yet. FAMOUS BACK HOME delivers a bold blend of country-soul, ‘80s rock, and modern pop—pushing sonic boundaries while keeping Dickerson’s signature heart-on-sleeve sincerity. It’s his most personal and dynamic project yet. For more, visit RussellDickerson.com.
