<p>Certified hitmaker <strong><a title="Dustin Lynch" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/dustin-lynch-tour-dates/">Dustin Lynch</a></strong> has cemented his spot as Country music’s newest superstar, celebrating his latest chart-topper “Small Town Boy” and the release of his third album – the sonically ambitious, boundary-pushing <em>CURRENT MOOD</em> – which released Friday (9/8) on Broken Bow Records.</p>

<p>Already GOLD-certified, “Small Town Boy” is Lynch’s FIFTH consecutive #1 hit, topping the Country Aircheck/Mediabase Country Airplay chart and continuing its reign on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for a second week. Penned by Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, and Kyle Fishman, the grooving track follows #1, GOLD-certified “Seein’ Red,” the white-hot first single off <em>CURRENT MOOD</em>.</p>
<p>“This week has truly been one of the most amazing and humbling of my career. This album is incredibly personal, and for two singles to already hit #1 is just crazy,” said Lynch. “I can’t think of a better way to welcome <em>CURRENT MOOD</em> than with ‘Small Town Boy’ being in the top spot.”</p>
<p>Rave reviews continue to pile up for the “sexy” (<em>CMT</em>) project that “showcases Lynch’s depth as a singer and songwriter” (<em>Taste of Country</em>), with <em>The Boot</em> observing, “he isn’t afraid to break the mold of what is considered normal in Country music.” Critics have gravitated towards <em>CURRENT MOOD</em> cuts such as “gut-wrenching torcher” (<em>People</em>) “Love Me Or Leave Me Alone.” Lauded by <em>Billboard</em> as “one of the standout performances on <em>CURRENT MOOD</em>,” the “stirring ballad” (<em>Sounds Like Nashville</em>) features Karen Fairchild on harmonies. Other standouts include the “smoldering vocals and R&;B vibe” (<em>Rolling Stone Country</em>) on “Why We Call Each Other” and “powerful and hypnotic” (<em>Country Music Chat</em>) “Back On It.”</p>

<p>Lynch will punctuate his album release week with a Hurricane Harvey benefit show tomorrow (9/12) at Cowboys Red River in Dallas, donating all ticket proceeds to the American Red Cross. Ending the week on a high note, Thursday (9/14) he’ll return to ABC’s <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!</em> to bring “Small Town Boy” full circle with an outdoor stage performance, having debuted the summer smash on the late night program earlier this year.</p>
<p>The all-star entertainer will hit the road this fall with his headlining THE RIDE OR DIE TOUR kicking off November 3 in Fayetteville, NC. Michael Ray, LANCO, and Ryan Hurd will serve as support on select dates.</p>
