Nashville, Tenn. —  Self-made country music sensation Aaron Watson’s highly anticipated album, American Soul, is now available for pre-order before its digital release. Pre-orders are available on Friday, January 8, 2021, and its physical release on February 5, 2021. Pre-order the album HERE and get three instant gratification tracks, including the new song, “Touchdown Town.” 

From “Long Live Cowboys” to “Dog Tags” and “Touchdown Town,” the 10 track full-length album, produced by Aaron Watson and Phil O’Donnell, one of country music’s premiere hit-makers and producers (Craig Morgan, Joe Diffie, High Valley, and Josh Thompson), is sure to be the go-to country album of the new year — resonating with cowboys, patriots, and all American souls.

 “America has been through hard times, and we have pushed through. Maybe we need to redefine who we are. Let’s love each other, and let’s make sure we never forget the blessings we have been given.” Watson told American Songwriter in a recent interview.

As a husband, father, and hardworking man, Watson embodies true American values, which reflects in his music. American Soul is filled with meaningful songs meant to inspire and reflect on the hustle and muscle, blood, sweat, and tears that build the backbone of the American soul. 

The album also includes the current single, “Silverado Saturday Night,” along with the first single off the album, “Whisper My Name,” which pays tribute to where Watson got his start and has amassed over 2.5 million total streams to date. 

His previous album, Red Bandana, opened at No. 2 on Billboard’s Country Sales chart. The 20 song album written solely by Watson is commemorative of his 20 years in the industry as an artist. 

Earlier this year, Watson joined George Strait, Robert Earl Keen, Willie Nelson As The newest Member of The Texas Cowboy Hall Of Fame.

About Aaron Watson:

Aaron Watson’s career is perhaps summed up best by Forbes, who says he’s “one of country music’s biggest DIY success stories.” For the past 20 years, Watson has achieved success on his own terms, hand-building a lauded career through songwriting, relentless touring and more than a dozen self-released albums.

 His independent Texas spirit and strong work ethic are emblematic of the western lifestyle; virtues which have taken him from humble honky-tonks of Texas to multiple sold-out tours around the world. In 2019 he released Red Bandana — “his most ambitious album yet” (Taste of Country) — whose 20 songs were hailed by The Boot as “a pure expression of his traditional country ethos.”

 This unprecedented acclaim follows Watson’s previous album, Vaquero, whose Top 10 hit “Outta Style” earned a BMI Millionaire award. The Underdog, the first independent album in the history of country music to top the Billboard Country Albums chart. With a dozen additional records under his belt, Watson is exceeding major-label-sized metrics while maintaining his independence, further galvanizing his “Texas country’s reigning indie underdog” (Rolling Stone) brand. “There may be no more genuine singer-songwriter at the moment than Watson,” says Texas Monthly, pointing to a self-made businessman, chart-topper, and road warrior whose authenticity has made him a country music staple.
