Vince Gill is releasing a new album this summer. The singer is set to drop “Okie” on August 23rd, his first record since 2016’s “Down To My Last Bad Habit.”

“I thought this was going to be a songwriter record, not a concept album,” Vince says. “It wound up being more information than I’d envisioned.” He adds, “A friend sent me an email saying, ‘You could have only written this record after living a 60-year-plus life.’ He said, ‘There’s no struggle in these songs, just truth and your experience.”

Vince also released the first single from the record, the track “A Letter To My Mama.”
