Rising Texas star Ty Myers has announced that his sophomore album, ‘Heavy On The Soul’, will be released on March 27, 2026, via Columbia Records. The 17-track project follows his successful 2025 debut, ‘The Select’, which earned gold certification within its first year. Myers recorded the new album at the historic FAME Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, drawing inspiration from the soulful legacy of legends like Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin. Proving his depth as a songwriter, the 18-year-old penned 11 of the tracks entirely on his own, working once again with producer Brandon Hood to blend his country roots with grit and southern soul.
To celebrate the announcement, Myers will release the solo-penned single “Message to You” this Friday, January 16. The album features a highly anticipated collaboration with Marcus King on a cover of Little Feat’s “Two Trains,” alongside previously released tracks like “Leaving Carolina” and “Through a Screen.” The recording process involved elite session musicians, including guitarist Tom Bukovac and steel guitarist Bruce Bouton, helping to elevate Myers’ signature sound. His rapid ascent to stardom has been fueled by platinum hits like “Ends of the Earth” and a massive 73-date sold-out headlining tour that concluded at the end of 2025.
In addition to the studio release, Myers has a heavy touring schedule lined up for 2026, including a series of international dates for C2C: Country to Country in March and a supporting slot on Luke Combs’ ‘My Kinda Saturday Night’ stadium tour. He is also set to perform at major festivals such as Stagecoach and the Florida Strawberry Festival. This new era follows a milestone performance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, where he was surprised with RIAA plaques for his debut album and his chart-topping hit “Thought It Was Love.” ‘Heavy On The Soul’ is positioned to be a definitive statement of growth for one of country music’s most authentic new voices.
