Russell Dickerson Is Famous Back Home With Fourth Studio Album, Out August 22d

Today, Multi-Platinum artist Russell Dickerson releases his new track “Sippin’ on Top of the World”, written by Travis Wood, Casey Brown, and Hunter Phelps. The euphoric, feel-good rocker is guaranteed to make you smile. The song is featured on Dickerson’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, Famous Back Home, set for release on August 22nd (via Triple Tigers). Stream the song here, and pre-save Famous Back Home here.

“Sippin’ on Top of the World” celebrates life’s simple joys and the gratitude that comes with them. The song trades stress for freedom, hitting open country roads in a Chevy. With no city traffic, a six-pack from the Texaco, and a girl riding shotgun, it paints a picture of small-town contentment, where cold beer, front porch sunsets, and good company make it feel like the luckiest life around. It’s not about postcard perfection, it’s about perspective. A laid-back groove and vivid storytelling make the track an ode to slowing down and soaking up the good life.

The new release is joined on Famous Back Home by a collection of 12 tracks, 10 of which were co-written by Dickerson, and features both of the first outside cuts of his career. Co-produced by Dickerson and longtime collaborator Josh Kerr, plus Casey Brown and Chris LaCorte on select songs, the album showcases Dickerson’s fearless evolution as both an artist and a storyteller, showcasing his genre-defying creativity and emotional depth.

Beyond his chart-topping success, the project reflects who he is at his core: a hitmaker, husband, father, and proud hometown hero. With this album, Dickerson proves he’s not just famous on stage, but Famous Back Home, too.

“Growing up in a small town, I had this idea ‘I’m going to make it out of here. I’m going to make it big. Everybody is going to know my name’”, said Dickerson. "But then you have a family and it’s like, ‘Actually, all I want to do is be famous at home.’ The further down this road I get, the more I realize the only thing that matters is my family.”

The album features Dickerson’s current radio single “Happen To Me”, which has become his biggest streaming debut to date, surpassing 120 million streams, breaking into the Top 15 at US Country Radio, Top 3 at UK Country Radio, reaching No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway, and continuing its rise on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Additional album standouts include “Dust”, a nod to David Lee Murphy’s “Dust on the Bottle”, and “Heard It In A Country Song”, which salutes some of country’s most iconic lyrics with ‘90s-inspired hooks and Dickerson’s signature roots-R&B groove. Vince Gill lends his vocals to “Never Leave,” a stripped-down plea for redemption, while “Sippin On Top of the World” delivers a stadium-ready anthem, both marking the first outside cuts of Dickerson’s career. Up-tempo highlights like “Worth Your Wild” and “Sunrise in My Silverado” bring fresh energy, fusing ‘80s pop influences with golden-hour charm. Still, Dickerson keeps his heart front and center. “For A Truck” and “Love That I Love You” explore love, loss, and longing, while “16 Me” reflects on growing up and looking back. Already released, the Top 40 track “Bones” pays tribute to lasting, unconditional love. The title track “Famous Back Home” brings the album full circle with a deeply personal finish

“I’m so pumped on this one. It’s just song by song”, Dickerson says. “To go from ‘Yours’ to where we are now, it’s opened up a whole new facet of me and my personality. What you get on stage is so connected to these songs – it finally caught up to my personality, who I am.”
