Tyler Braden Releases "to tell you the truth (b stage)" Ahead of Debut Album
Tyler Braden, the country-rock powerhouse from Slapout, Alabama, has released a compelling new track, "to tell you the truth (b stage)", marking the latest preview of his highly anticipated debut album "devil and a prayer," set for release on May 16, 2025, via Warner Music Nashville. The song, which dropped on March 21, 2025, is part of a 19-track album that Braden conceptualized to represent his artistic and personal growth.
Braden's journey to country music stardom is as unique as his sound. Before pursuing music full-time, he served as a first responder in Montgomery, Alabama. Growing up near Hank Williams' memorial, Braden was raised with a deep appreciation for country music, but his influences span across genres, including rock acts like Foo Fighters and country artists such as Eric Church and Luke Combs.
The upcoming album "devil and a prayer" showcases Braden's evolution as an artist. It includes previously released fan-favorites like "MORE THAN A PRAYER", "ABOVE THE WATER", and "ME OR THE DAWN". The album also features a duet with Kaitlin Butts titled "MIGHT BE DANGEROUS", demonstrating Braden's collaborative spirit.
Braden's musical background is rich and diverse. He began singing in church and at family gatherings, later playing in a rock cover band at 19. His move to Nashville in 2016 marked a turning point, as he continued firefighting while honing his songwriting and performing skills. This dual career informed his music, with Braden noting that his experience as a firefighter taught him emotional stability, a quality that shines through in his songwriting.
In February 2025, Braden released the anthemic single "GOD & GUNS N' ROSES", another track from the upcoming album. This release, along with "to tell you the truth (b stage)", demonstrates Braden's ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners while showcasing his gritty, powerful vocals.
Braden's rise in the country music scene has been meteoric. With over 385 million global streams to his name, he has shared stages with top acts like Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, and Chris Stapleton. His participation in NBC's American Song Contest in 2022 further boosted his profile.
As the release date for "devil and a prayer" approaches, Tyler Braden continues to solidify his position as a rising star in country music, blending traditional country storytelling with rock-influenced energy. His journey from firefighter to chart-topping artist is a testament to his dedication, talent, and the universal appeal of his music.
