\n\tOverall, the concept album will feature a story arc that follows an outlaw revenge story. After watching as her sheriff father is killed by the Bootcut Boys, Cherie Lee begins to take revenge, until she unexpectedly begins to fall in love with one of those outlaws. That decision ultimately leads to disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n

\n\tShaboozey is known for his collaborations with artists including Jelly Roll, Stephen Wilson Jr., Sierra Ferrell and BigXthaPlug, and his upcoming album is set to feature more genre-melding collabs. Meanwhile, the lead single from The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales<\/em>, \u201cBorn to Die,\u201d will release Friday.<\/p>\n

\n\tShaboozey will celebrate the album with a pop-up saloon experience at Stagecoach this year. The pop-up will run April 24-26 and will take fans inside a saloon environment that is inspired by the album\u2019s narrative. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe new album follows his 2024 breakthrough project Where I\u2019ve Been, Isn\u2019t Where I\u2019m Going<\/em>, which featured his smash hit \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy),\u201d a song that reigned at the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 weeks. The song also spent seven weeks atop the Country Airplay chart, and Shaboozey followed with more Country Airplay No. 1s: \u201cAmen\u201d with Jelly Roll, and \u201cGood News.\u201d \u201cAmen\u201d also earned a Grammy for best country duo\/group performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhere I\u2019ve Been, Isn\u2019t Where I\u2019m Going<\/em> was a journal entry and an opportunity for the world to get to know more about me as a person,\u201d\u00a0Shaboozey\u00a0said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cThat album changed my life. I never expected people to connect with the album and enjoy it the way they did. But now I want to show the world who I am as an artist and storyteller. The Outlaw Cherie Lee<\/em> is a project that\u2019s been several years in the making and has gone through many iterations. It\u2019s a western about revenge told continuously through every song, centered on the character Cherie Lee.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cIt explores so many themes, as many timeless westerns have: revenge, redemption, and romance, through the eyes of a protagonist looking to challenge everything she once thought true about her world. I poured all of myself into this and I hope people become as immersed in the world and the journey as I have. This album was a promise to myself and something, no matter what, I had to keep. It pushed my songwriting and storytelling to new heights, and I couldn\u2019t be more proud to say it\u2019s done and almost yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
