<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Hammack, storytelling has always been at the heart of her artistry, and this time, she’s bringing her lyrics to life in book form. Co-authored with New York Times–bestselling writer Carolyn Brown, <em>Bed of Roses</em> the novel follows a young woman navigating love, loss, and self-discovery—mirroring the themes explored in the album’s 13 tracks. Each chapter in the book aligns with a song from the album, giving fans a deeper look into the stories that shaped Hammack’s songwriting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I was a child who grew up on paperback romances stolen from my aunt’s bookshelves,” Hammack shared. “I envisioned each song on this album as a book initially, so writing one to pair with this project felt like a natural move.”</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Soundtrack to Every Chapter</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond the literary journey, <em>Bed of Roses</em> the album is shaping up to be one of the most sonically diverse and emotionally rich country releases of the year. Blending 70’s country twang with Hammack’s signature gypsy soul and red-dirt rock influences, the album paints the picture of a 20-something woman embracing life’s highs and lows.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With production credits shared between studio veterans Dann Huff and <a href="https://countrymusicnewsblog.com/category/artists/brothers-osborne/" data-type="category" data-id="1330">John Osborne</a>, the album brings a mix of raw emotion and energetic instrumentation. Fans can expect heel-stomping anthems, heart-wrenching ballads, and empowering anthems for those ready to bloom from their past heartaches.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Lead Single: “How Long”</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alongside her book announcement, Hammack dropped her latest single, <em>How Long</em>, a sultry, slow-burning country jam that captures the agony of waiting for love to unfold. With Hammack’s signature powerhouse vocals taking center stage, the track is a testament to the album’s deeply personal storytelling.</p>
