STEPHENVILLE, TX – July 25, 2025 – Today, River House Artists / Warner Music Nashville’s skyrocketing Texas country star Hudson Westbrook drops his 17-track debut album, Texas Forever.

Entirely co-written by Westbrook with a close-knit group of collaborators and loaded with Texas-grown charisma, the anticipated record is a compelling, effortlessly charming tribute to coming of age in the Lone Star State.

Give It A Listen

From simply sung opener “Darlin’,” to rambunctious beer song “Momma Raised A Winner,” the lovesick warble narrating “Fool,” to the stripped desperation of “Lie To Me” featuring Mackenzie Carpenter, the 17-track collection is bathed in twang and rooted in Red Dirt.

It’s still hard for me to wrap my mind around the last 15 months sometimes,” Westbrook shares. “I was breaking bulls and putting up fences a year ago, and now we’re releasing my debut album.”

“Texas Forever is a perfect snapshot of what my life has looked like over the last year, and I’m so happy to share it with y’all today,” he continues.

“Even since we announced this record in May, the meaning of it has changed and evolved into so much more than what I could have imagined. I’m proud to be from Texas, and I carry that with me everywhere I go. Thank you for everything – Texas Forever.”

100% of Hudson Westbrook merchandise sales for the month of July will be donated to Kerr County flood victims via the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.
