Jimmie Allen Announces Expanded “Bettie James Gold Edition” Album

This news announces the arrival of the second album from Jimmie Allen and a collaborative, genre-crossing trek with roots in modern country music. Get the full details here!

Fresh on the heels of hitting the Top 30 with “Freedom Was A Highway,” Jimmie Allen has announced the expansion of his collaborative Bettie James EP into a full-fledged album (Bettie James Gold Edition) with nine extra tracks featuring collaborations with LANCO, LOCASH, Pitfall, Keith Urban, Lindsay Ell, teamwork., Ireland, Lathan Warlick, Babyface, Little Big Town, and Neon Union joining the previous collaborators, The Oak Ridge Boys, Mickey Guyton, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley (who duets with Jimmie on “Freedom Was A Highway”), Noah Cyrus, Tauren Wells Rita Wilson, Darius Rucker and the late Charley Pride.

“When it comes to music I love, I don’t really get wrapped up in boundaries or genres. I thought we were gonna stop with the collaborations with Bettie James, and then I was like man, there’s so much music out there that I love, so many artists that I love, and I just wasn’t done,” Allen says of the impetus for Bettie James Gold Edition. “There’s some Pop, there’s some Rock, there’s some Country, there’s some R&B. I got a chance to work with legends! When I was writing some of the songs, I was trying to picture each moment. I went to each artist to work with them so they could be who they are on the song and bring their greatness to the song – I feel like that’s what makes the songs better. I’m super proud of the body of work of this album and can’t wait for people to hear it.”

Bettie James Gold Edition is a continued homage to Allen’s late father, James Allen, and late grandmother, Bettie Snead, who passed away in September 2019 and February 2014 respectively.

The album will be available on June 25, 2021.
