Country music’s hit-maker, Ross Copperman re-imagines today’s
biggest chart-toppers for the family
Pre-order for album and tracks “Dirt on My Boots” and “Wagon Wheel” now available
Conceived and crafted by award-winning hit songwriter and producer Ross Copperman, BBR Music Group/BMG today announces Homegrown Kids Country, Vol 1. The compilation album featuring children performing 10 of today’s biggest Country hits, will be released December 7 and is available today (11/9) for pre-order. Fans can get a preview of the project with two tracks, “Dirt on My Boots” and “Wagon Wheel” everywhere digitally today.
Homegrown Kids Country, Vol 1 presents Country in a fresh way – with kids singing a fun mix of current chart-toppers and longtime favorites, all in family-friendly style that provides an enjoyable listening experience for all ages. Inspired by his own kids love of music, Copperman paired a diverse troop of some of the best youth vocal talent with Nashville’s world-class musicians and studios to highlight each song’s essence in unexpected ways. Armed with the goal of creating a product that parents can be proud to leave on repeat, Copperman hand-selected songs that not only are some of the most popular songs in Country music, but most songs are embedded with a positive message– perfect for bringing families together and inspiring children to make their world a better place.
“I’ve worked on so many records but really just wanted to make one for them that we can listen to while we drive around in the car and other parents can enjoy too,” said Copperman, executive producer of the Homegrown Kids. “When kids hear other children singing, their eyes kind of light up and I just thought this would be a great way to get kids and their families involved in Country music.”
At the helm of the Homegrown Kids is one of the most prolific and influential songwriters working in Country today. Copperman is a skilled tunesmith with nearly twenty Country No. 1 hits to his credit and has produced chart-topping hits for Dierks Bentley, Brett Eldredge, Jake Owen, Keith Urban and many more. He is the reigning BMI Songwriter of the Year (2016 and 2017) and the winner of five CMA Triple Play Awards (CMA honor for songwriters who have penned three No. 1 songs in a 12-month period).
The 10 songs featured on the album have achieved almost as much as its captain—altogether the tracks have accumulated more than 9 million sales, 1 billion digital streams and nine No. 1 hits on Country radio. Check out the music video for “Dirt on My Boots” here along with the lyric video to “Wagon Wheel.”
