Lainey Wilson's Whirlwind is a musical force of nature from a powerhouse performer who’s here to stay. Guests include Cole Swindell, Jelly Roll, and Miranda Lambert.
In the wake of her Grammy-winning triumph with Bell Bottom Country, Lainey Wilson returns with Whirlwind, an album that chronicles her journey through Nashville with an honesty that’s both refreshing and raw. The 14-track album, produced by Jay Joyce, further cements Wilson's place as she continues to reach new heights on her way to becoming one of country music's greats.
Wilson, whose accolades now include CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year titles, has become a force across the music industry. Her trajectory from a camper trailer in Baskin, Louisiana, to one of the hottest artists in country music is the stuff of legend. But Whirlwind isn’t just a celebration of her success, it’s a story about the challenges, triumphs, and personal growth that paved the path to get her there.
The album shows Wilson's ability to blend traditional country sounds with a modern twist, all while maintaining the retro flair that’s become her signature. Tracks like “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Wildflowers And Wild Horses” showcase her knack for storytelling, while collaborations with artists like Cole Swindell, Jelly Roll, and HARDY highlight her versatility and ability to work with other major artists.
Having already secured seven No. 1 hits, Lainey Wilson's momentum shows no signs of slowing. Her induction into the Grand Ole Opry and recent Billboard Country Power Players “Record Breaker” award are just the latest in a series of milestones that underscore her status as a next-generation icon in country music. Wilson’s influence extends beyond music. Her role in Yellowstone introduced her to a broader audience, showcasing her talents as both a musician and an actress. On-stage, she continues to draw crowds worldwide with performances that are as electric as they are unforgettable.
