Tipping his 10-gallon hat to his idol Hank Williams, Sr. plus introducing his fresh-faced Country flavor, the six-track handpicked collection was produced by studio ace Joey Moi.
Leading with his chart-rising original single, “ Famous” – penned by Tyler Hubbard, Corey Crowder (Chris Young, A Thousand Horses), Sarah Buxton (Chris Lane, Keith Urban), and Canaan Smith (Florida Georgia Line, Love & Theft) – and closing with the Country giant’s gospel classic “ I Saw the Light,” his generation-jumping track list not only shows the dynamic range of the 11 year old’s musicality, but also the full-fledged authenticity of his headline-worthy talent. The Tennessean gave an exclusive First Listen of the latter, plus fast-talking “Yo Da Lady Who” yesterday (7/19).
“I can’t believe my first EP is out,” Ramsey admits. “Some of these songs I’ve been singing before I could talk, so I can’t wait for you to hear them.”
