Capitol Records Nashville’s Jon Pardi will release his sophomore album, California Sunrise, on June 17. The album’s lead single, “Head Over Boots,” is currently climbing country radio’s Top 20 and gaining Top 15 in country track sales. The song reached No. 3 on MusicRow’s CountryBreakout Chart last week.
“I always want to have the traditional country soul while meeting the new standards of country music,” says Pardi. “As a songwriter, we’re looking for a good story and we’re always looking to push the limits. I love having those lyrics that at first make you think it’s about one thing, but it’s really about something so much more.”
Each song on the album was recorded with a full band. “I’m a big fan of a live band recording and it was really important for me to get that sound on my record,” says Pardi. “The heart of this record comes across with a live band. We used seven guys – one band, and there’s something special about that.”
