Florida Georgia Line‘s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard enlisted several top songwriters for the duo’s third studio album, Dig Your Roots, which will release Aug. 26 on Big Machine Label Group.
The duo co-wrote eight of the project’s 15 tracks. The project also features writers including Nicolle Galyon, Brett James, Jerry Flowers, Ryan Hurd, Chris Tompkins, Jesse Frasure, Jamie Moore, Will Weatherly, Hunter Phelps, Jameson Rodgers, Canaan Smith, and more.
The project will also include some star-studded collaborations with Tim McGraw on the track “May We All,” The Backstreet Boys (“God, Your Mama, and Me”), and Ziggy Marley (“Life Is A Honeymoon”).
“Collaborating with Tim McGraw, The Backstreet Boys or Ziggy Marley alone is already super surreal for us, but to have them all on this album is pretty mind-blowing,” says Kelley.
Hubbard adds, “These three artists were huge influences on both of us musically; BK’s first concert was The Backstreet Boys and they were my first album!”
Producer Joey Moi, who oversaw FGL’s last two projects, is again at the helm of Dig Your Roots.
