Overview

  • Released at midnight on Jan. 12, the acoustic set features 24 stripped-down tracks recorded solo in single takes with mistakes left in.
  • The original 25-track album arrived Jan. 9, and streaming services now present both versions together as a 49-track collection.
  • The acoustic release omits the studio album’s spoken-word opener that appears on the 25-track version.
  • Bryan says the songs were recorded over the past winter while working across three houses in his home state of Oklahoma.
  • With Heaven On Tour is scheduled to start March 7 in St. Louis with guests including Dijon, Kings of Leon, Alabama Shakes, Ben Howard, and MJ Lenderman across U.S. and European dates.
