Parker McCollum knows how to make an entrance—and a headline. Just ask the 70,000+ fans who watched him blow the roof off Rodeo Houston this past weekend. Mid-set, in front of a sold-out crowd, he dropped the kind of surprise announcement that makes country fans lose their minds: his self-titled fifth studio album, PARKER MCCOLLUM, is coming June 27.
This wasn’t just another night at the rodeo. It was McCollum at his most explosive, commanding the star-shaped stage with that unmistakable blend of grit, charm, and Texas swagger. And when he made the album reveal? Let’s just say Rodeo Houston got real loud, real fast.
Back to His Roots, but Elevated
Recorded at the iconic Power Station studio in New York City and produced by Grammy-winner Frank Liddell, this album promises a return to Parker’s songwriting roots with all the polish of a seasoned hitmaker. Think Limestone Kid vibes but grown up—more wisdom, more edge, and a whole lot more life lived.
He wrote or co-wrote nearly every track, calling in some serious lyrical heavyweights like Randy Rogers, Lori McKenna, Jon Randall, Natalie Hemby, Randy Montana, and more. The result? A start-to-finish journey that sounds like Texas, feels like honesty, and hits like a gut punch in all the right places.
In his own words: “It is the best thing I’ve ever done. This record is honest, this record is raw, this record is one thousand percent authentic, Parker.“

A Rodeo Night to Remember
As if the album drop wasn’t enough, McCollum delivered a high-octane 12-song set to a season-record crowd of 71,216 fans. And yes, it included adorable bonus content like his son Major’s rodeo debut and even a marriage proposal mid-show. Because if you’re gonna do a Parker McCollum show, why not go big?
What’s Next for The Gold Chain Cowboy?
After the album release, McCollum will hit the road again on his newly rebranded PARKER MCCOLLUM TOUR, continuing to sell out dates and bring that Lone Star intensity to cities across the country.
If PARKER MCCOLLUM (the album) is as good as the hype he just stirred up in Houston, we’re about to hear a whole new side of this already-established powerhouse.
