Caylee Hammack Unveils "Bed of Roses," Title Track from Upcoming Sophomore Album
Caylee Hammack, the rising country music star from Ellaville, Georgia, has unveiled "Bed of Roses," the title track from her highly anticipated sophomore album set to release on March 7, 2025. This new single, released on January 10, 2025, marks a significant milestone in Hammack's career, showcasing her growth as an artist since her debut album "If It Wasn't for You" in 2020.
Hammack's upcoming album "Bed of Roses" is a testament to her artistic evolution. Co-produced by Dann Huff and John Osborne of Brothers Osborne, the album promises to showcase a more organic sound, infused with acoustic energy reminiscent of the music she was raised on. The title track, "Bed of Roses," is described as a white flag being waved in the middle of a battle, emphasizing the importance of preserving relationships over winning arguments.
Hammack's musical journey began at a young age in her small hometown. She started performing at regional opry houses in her early teens and was influenced by a diverse range of artists, including Patsy Cline, Shania Twain, and Miranda Lambert. Her unique style, characterized by powerful vocals and authentic storytelling, has been shaped by her experiences and the challenges she's faced along the way.
After moving to Nashville in 2013 with limited resources, Hammack persevered through difficult times, including a period of homelessness where she slept in her car. Her breakthrough came in 2018 when she signed with Capitol Records Nashville, leading to the release of her debut single "Family Tree" in 2019, which became the most-added debut song by a female artist at country radio in three years.
In addition to "Bed of Roses," Hammack has been actively releasing new music. In 2024, she dropped singles such as "Blue Christmas" and "Breaking Dishes," building anticipation for her sophomore album. Her collaboration with other artists has also been notable, including a feature with Foy Vance on the single "The Hill".
Hammack's musical background is deeply rooted in country tradition but incorporates diverse influences. She cites artists like the Chicks and SHeDAISY as early inspirations, and her sound has been described as a fusion of modern country pop with the sincerity of traditional country. Her ability to transform personal experiences into relatable songs has earned her critical acclaim and a growing fanbase.
Throughout her career, Hammack has achieved several notable milestones. She was named a CMT Next Woman of Country, performed at the Grand Ole Opry, and has toured with prominent artists such as Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire. Her debut album featured collaborations with industry heavyweights like Reba McEntire and Ashley McBryde, further solidifying her place in the country music scene.
