NASHVILLE, TN. – The new deluxe version of Lainey Wilson’s award-winning album, Whirlwind, is out today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Stream/purchase HERE.
In addition to Whirlwind’s original 14 songs, the new extended edition features five additional tracks: “Bell Bottoms Up”, “King Ranch, King George, King James”, “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day”, “Peace, Love, and Cowboys” and Wilson’s current single, “Somewhere Over Laredo”, which debuted earlier this summer and continues to rise on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, having reached #1 on the UK Country Airplay Chart.
Released to overwhelming attention from fans and critics alike, “Somewhere Over Laredo” was the most added song at US country radio at impact, garnered over 1.16 million streams across platforms in its first 24 hours (Wilson’s biggest first day of streaming to date) and earned widespread praise from outlets such as CBS Mornings, Rolling Stone and Billboard, who called it “one of her most commanding, dynamic vocal performances to date, crescendo-ing from a soft-focus, tender vocal, before gradually reaching into her upper register for powerful moments that heighten the song’s emotional acuity.”

Wilson also recently launched her fourth collection with Wrangler, as well as her own boot (Golden West Boots) and jewelry lines (The Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection).
The 16x ACM, 9x CMA and Grammy Award-winner and Grand Ole Opry member is a prolific, sought-after songwriter who has scored eight #1 hits including “4x4xU”, “Wildflowers And Wild Horses”, “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck”, in addition to award-winning collaborations with Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma” for the Twisters movie and has collaborated with artists such as Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton, Post Malone and more. She will also make her feature film acting debut in next year’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, after first acting in Paramount’s hit television series, Yellowstone.
