The nominees for this year’s CMA Awards have been announced, and Keith Urban has earned three nods this year, bringing his total count to 50 nominations and 12 wins. He is now a 13-time Entertainer of the Year nominee, bringing home the trophy two times previously. He has now been nominated 16 times for Male Vocalist of the Year with three wins. Keith received his sixth Musical Event of the Year nomination for Thomas Rhett’s “Be A Light,” which features Keith, Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott and Chris Tomlin. He has previously taken home the Musical Event award four times.

Eric Church and Carrie Underwood each earned two nods apiece – both scored an Entertainer of the Year nomination, as well as Male Vocalist and Female Vocalist, respectively. As did Chris Stapleton, who is up against Church for Male Vocalist, but also garners a Music Video nomination for his LEGO-filmed “Second One to Know.”

“Stand back—she’s breathing fire,” declares Paste regarding Caylee Hammack’s new single “Just Friends” available at Country Radio today. The Capitol Nashville “songwriter/producer/full-throttle vocalist” (HITS) celebrated her new single (written by Hammack, Aaron Raitiere, Mikey Reaves) today by making her The Late Show With Stephen Colbert debut as part of their #PlayAtHome series in a full production and high velocity performance, available to watch here.

Hammack just released her debut record IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU on August 14, available to listen here. Since the release, critics have continued to highly praise the 13-track set that sees Hammack with writer and producer credits on every track on the album.

“With a huge voice and dynamic presence, the country newcomer pulls out all the stops on If It Wasn’t for You…The results are big and bright, effortlessly skipping between styles and packed with personality.” – Rolling Stone

“Hammack has arrived with this 13-track adrenaline blast…every song on here plays out like an entry in Hammack’s diary—and is just as compelling…Hammack deserves to be a star.” – Billboard 

“The Georgia-born singer’s new album is one of the year’s best country debuts.” – Paste 

“One of Nashville’s most promising young singers”-  Washington Post

“Caylee Hammack’s debut album is powered by a drive for difference.” – American Songwriter 

“Every song on her spunky, eclectic, 13-track album offers vignettes from her life story, woven with words of hope, determination, heartache, entanglement and above all, inspiration.” – Music Row

“Hammack’s wit and grit make listening to it all a pleasure” –  PEOPLE

“Hammack cements herself as an incredible talent with a story all her own who has artfully turned her experiences into catchy, engaging and honest songs that will have you listening again and again.” – Pop Culture 

“From tales about her childhood, to stories about heartbreak, to fiery songs about life, the Georgia-born artist infuses her personality and vulnerability into every word.” – Sounds Like Nashville 

IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU takes listeners on an intimate journey, from Hammack growing up in Ellaville, GA, braving a medical scare and coming out the other side of a bad love that was the catalyst for her turning down a scholarship to Belmont University and ultimately arriving in Nashville, TN. The LP, also included in NPR’s “noteworthy releases,” exudes that Hammack is all about the truth, the complete, whole unvarnished truth. Some of country music’s most potent women have also thrown in on Hammack’s debut. With appearances by Reba, Ashley McBryde and Tenille Townes, Hammack is setting a bar for women across the genre. Hammack also continues to show her reverence for classic country music, just releasing a collaboration with Country music icon Alan Jackson: a special rendition of Don Williams’ “Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good.”

Nominated for ACM “New Female Artist Of The Year” and “Music Event Of The Year,” Caylee Hammack has been noted as an “Artist To Watch” by outlets including The Bobby Bones Show, Rolling Stone and HITS Magazine for her “voice to move mountains” (Rolling Stone). With her breakout Top 30 single “Family Tree” marking the most-added single at Country radio by a female artist in over three years, Hammack, the Capitol Nashville recording artist has previously brought her unforgettable live set to opening slots for Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Trisha Yearwood, Brothers Osborne and some of country music’s biggest festivals.

“One of Nashville’s most promising young singers” (Washington Post) Caylee Hammack is partnering with ORLY Color Labs to celebrate the launch of her already critically-acclaimed and just-released debut album IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU. Hammack customized nail colors inspired by her songs on the record through ORLY Color Labs Mobile. This online platform allows users to choose photo inspirations or upload their favorite photos to create a color palette. Fans are encouraged to create their own custom shades inspired by Hammack’s album at colorlabs.com.

The 12 signature shades Hammack created will be available in trios to be released quarterly. The “If It Wasn’t For You Nail Polish Collection 1” features fiery reddish hues inspired by the tracks “Just Friends,” “Looking for a Lighter,” and “Redhead.” The nail collection retails for $35 and is available for pre-order now at store.cayleehammack.com. The musical package of a physical autographed CD, a digital copy of the album, and the nail collection retails for $55.

“I love being able to express myself through my music, but also through fashion and the colors that I’m wearing,” shared Hammack. “I’m always changing my nail polish color to suit my mood, and so this partnership felt like the perfect fit for my new record. I’m excited for these first colors to be out there in the world and for people to enjoy them like I have enjoyed working on them with Orly.”

IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU takes listeners on an intimate journey, from Hammack growing up in Ellaville, GA, braving a medical scare and coming out the other side of a bad love that was the catalyst for her turning down a scholarship to Belmont University and ultimately arriving in Nashville, TN. The LP has already been praised by critics with PEOPLE declaring the set as a “a lavish feast of autobiographical storytelling, served up with catchy hooks and the singer’s power-packed voice.” Some of country music’s most potent women have also thrown in on Hammack’s debut, with appearances by Reba, Ashley McBryde and Tenille Townes. Hammack also continues to show her reverence for classic country music, just releasing a collaboration with Country music icon Alan Jackson: a special rendition of Don Williams’ “Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good.”

Caylee Hammack just released her debut album, If It Wasn’t For You, and she experienced a surreal moment during the process of putting together her record when she realized a dream come true — she got to record a song with the iconic Reba McEntire. The song, titled “Redhead” is a fitting tribute to all the fiery gingers in the world.

“Having a song I get to sing with Reba McEntire is a dream come true. It definitely is a childhood dream of mine that I never, honestly, thought could ever happen,” says Caylee. “But God has been so good to me to connect me to wonderful people that I look up to (and) that I’ve always admired, and I admire even more when I get to know them personally. Reba McEntire is such a professional. She’s such a businesswoman, but also so kindhearted and good willed. Just working with her, it was truly a dream that I never thought could come true.”

Caylee was supposed to tour as Reba’s opening act this spring and summer, but the tour — along with many others — were postponed until next year because of COVID-19. Caylee is making the most of it, though, hosting virtual concerts with her friends and CMT every week or having socially distanced backporch parties with pals Ashley McBryde and Tenille Townes.

Caylee Hammack will release her debut album, If It Wasn’t For You, on Friday (August 14th). The thoughtful Georgia born-and-bred singer-songwriter penned all 13 tracks on the collection, including “Just Friends,” “Family Tree,” “Redhead” (which is a duet with Reba McEntire). She titled the collection, If It Wasn’t For You, to honor all of those who helped make her dream of being a country music artist a reality.

“The album was named If It Wasn’t For You, because I could not have made this record in any capacity without all of the people in my life – my family who have encouraged me from day one; God being able to give me ideas and lining me up with people to make it; every single person listening. They don’t understand how important it is that they listen so I could be heard. If it wasn’t for everyone, none of this would happen.”

Currently nominated for ACM “New Female Artist Of The Year” and “Music Event Of The Year,” Caylee Hammack has been noted as an “Artist To Watch” by outlets including The Bobby Bones Show, Rolling Stone and HITS Magazine for her “mix of clever lyrics and haunting melodies” (Music Row). With her breakout Top 30 single “Family Tree” marking the most-added single at Country radio by a female artist in over three years, Hammack has “created a kind of country music that’s larger—and brighter—than real life”(HITS Magazine). The Capitol Nashville recording artist has previously brought her unforgettable live set to opening slots for Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Trisha Yearwood, Brothers Osborne and some of country music’s biggest festivals.

Capitol Nashville’s Caylee Hammack is sharing more of her unique journey with the gripping new song “Forged In The Fire,” available here. Taken from her forthcoming debut album IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU available on August 14, the autobiographical track details how Hammack’s house burned down while she was away on a songwriting retreat losing just about everything – except for a few song-inspiring pieces such as her grandmother’s quilt. Written by Hammack, with Thomas Finchum and Andy Skib, the song’s lyrics are thought-provoking asking “When does a phoenix learn how to fly, Do I get my wings when I stop asking why.” Hammack revealed more behind the song in a special interview and video premiere exclusively with PEOPLE, who declares her anticipated debut album as a “lavish feast of autobiographical storytelling, served up with catchy hooks and the singer’s power-packed voice” available here. 

“My father used to tell me that all of the strongest and most beautiful things are forged in fire. Iron is weak until you work it in fire. Glass can’t be blown without immense heat,” elaborated Hammack. “I grew up with this saying as a motto handed down when I needed reminding and it was rarely thought of; until I had an electrical fire at my home in 2017. I lost so much, but gained so much more. I learned that material things don’t matter. The people who surrounded me and helped me find the salvageable pieces loved me and I wasn’t alone through the hardship. Life was dark at the time, but the love I felt around me was deep. God’s seen me through, and also given me some stories to tell.  What more could I ask for?”

Hammack’s upcoming debut record IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU takes listeners on an intimate journey, from growing up in Ellaville, GA, braving a medical scare and coming out the other side of a bad love that was the catalyst for her turning down a scholarship to Belmont University and ultimately arriving in Nashville, TN. With Hammack co-writing and co-producing every track on the 13-song collection, the album exudes that Hammack is all about the truth, the complete, whole unvarnished truth. Some of country music’s most potent women have also thrown in on Hammack’s debut. With appearances by Reba, Ashley McBryde and Tenille Townes, Hammack is setting a bar for women across the genre. Hammack also continues to show her reverence for classic country music, just releasing a collaboration with Country music icon Alan Jackson: a special rendition of Don Williams’ “Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good.”

Hammack has also invited special guests, friends and album collaborators Ashley McBryde and Tenille Townes to join her during the livestream event, available to watch here.

“The support I have felt from the minute this album was released has been overwhelming,” said Hammack. “If it wasn’t for every person on my team, every person willing to listen to a new artist and emotionally invest in them, and my family, I wouldn’t have been able to create this album. So thank you. Thank you so very much.  I feel free in a way I’ve never felt before with this album out in the world now.”

Capitol Nashville’s Caylee Hammack continues to hold high her reverence for classic country music, today releasing a collaboration with Country music icon Alan Jackson: a special rendition of Don Williams’ “Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good.” Produced by Dave Cobb, the new track is available to stream here, Hammack and Jackson’s unique vocals complement each other on the song’s timely message of optimism and hope.

“This song has held a special place in my heart since childhood,” shared Hammack.  “And, during the past few months at home, I have found myself frequently visiting songs I grew up on because of the comfort it has brought me, especially this one.  It has always been a golden classic in my heart and I believe in many others; and it’s message felt much needed today.   Alan Jackson was gracious enough to bring his voice and heart to this song and made it feel like chicken noodle soup for the country music soul. I just feel very honored to be able to send our rendition out into the world today!”

“It’s so nice to be able to finally record one of my favorite Don Williams songs with a great message for today and to be able to sing it with another Georgia native with a sweet voice,” added Jackson.

He has released more than 60 singles – registering 50 Top Ten hits and 35 #1s (including 26 Billboard chart-toppers). He has earned more than 150 major music industry awards – including 19 Academy of Country Music Awards, 16 Country Music Association Awards, a pair of Grammys and ASCAP’s Founders and Golden Note Awards. Jackson is one of the most successful and respected singer-songwriters in music. He’s also the man behind one of Nashville’s most-popular tourist stops, AJ’s Good Time Bar, a four-story honky-tonk in the heart of downtown featuring daily live music and a rooftop view of Music City.

Capitol Nashville’s Caylee Hammack is offering fans a look into her recently-announced upcoming debut record today, releasing her scorching new song “Redhead” that is “as badass and unique as a fiery head of hair” (Rolling Stone), featuring superstar Reba McEntire available to listen here. Co-written by Hammack with Natalie Hemby and Trent Dabbs, the song details the clothes line, tightrope and dare devil high hopes childhood of the brazen “Redhead” with an assist from fellow flame-haired vocalist Reba McEntire.

Hammack also premiered a music video for the track today exclusively with CMT, CMT Music and CMT.com, available to watch here. Directed by Justin Clough, the video filled with personality, confidence and persuasion takes viewers back to a little redhead’s childhood, living life in a double-wide trailer as her parents attempt to handle their daughter’s fervor. Hammack’s dynamic performance revels in the nostalgia.

“This song was inspired by an older cousin of mine with fiery red hair,” shared Hammack. “You don’t hear about redheads very much in songs, so I simply wanted to write one for her and all the redheads in my family. Then, Reba came in the studio and TRANSFORMED this song. She helped me create an anthem for all redheads. Whether you get it naturally or find it in a bottle, this is for the firecrackers!”

Hammack is all about the truth, the complete, whole unvarnished truth. That truth stains IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU, her major label debut, with equal doses joy, courage and enough detail to break an axle. Available on August 14 Hammack announced the upcoming and anticipated debut release this week, with Hammack co-writing and co-producing every track on the 13-song collection that is available to pre-order now here.
