Audacy Tosses the Mic to Thomas Rhett for “On The Record” Album Release Special and Weekend Takeover

On September 1, Audacy will air “Thomas Rhett: On The Record,” the latest installment of the Company’s national album release franchise. During the hour-long special, Rhett will take listeners through his new album, About A Woman, track by track. 

Listeners can tune in to Audacy’s local Country stations and the free Audacy app at 7:00 p.m. local time as he comments on the 14 songs from his seventh studio album that tell a story “about a woman.”

About A Woman blends TR’s adoration for his wife Lauren with his ability to create bodies of work that transcend traditional Country,” said Tim Roberts, Country Format Vice President, Audacy. “This project is unlike anything else in TR’s discography, making his ‘On The Record’ narrative even more valuable for listeners who will take an in-depth trip through his creative process. We are elated to uplift this tremendous achievement by adding another layer to this upbeat love-infused album.”

“On The Record” deepens the relationship between artists and their fans, bringing listeners closer to their favorite musicians than ever before. Rhett promotes his latest work following a Whirlwind edition with Lainey Wilson. The Country superstars join a roster of other high-profile musicians who have had specials of their own since the franchise launched in May, including Billie Eilish, twenty one pilots and Camila Cabello.

“It has been a pleasure to watch Thomas and his music evolve over the past decade. His just-released seventh studio album, About A Woman, is truly his best work to date, and the fans are loving it,” said George Briner, President, The Valory Music Co. “We’re excited to partner with our friends at Audacy to present ‘Thomas Rhett’s Weekend Takeover,’ giving that many more people the opportunity to hear how truly wonderful his music is!”
