Logan Mize will release new album ‘Welcome to Prairieville’ on 1st October 2021 through Big Yellow Dog Music.
The new album features 11 tracks and it celebrates Mize’s rural upbringing. A passion project, the album has been nearly a decade in the making and Mize co-wrote all but one song on it.
āMy buddy Blake Chaffin and I have been writing together for several years. Early on in our careers, we came up with this concept where weād basically write songs about an imaginary place that we came to know as ‘Prairieville’,āĀ Mize explains.Ā āGrowing up in middle-of-nowhere towns, we took all the characters weāve encountered over the years, stories that stood out to us and just our life experiences overall, and from there, we painted our own versions into this tiny town. When itās all said and done, it isnāt exactly a place you can pinpoint on a map, but I like to think itās a representation of all the one-stoplight towns across the nation. At the very least, we’ve all driven through a Prairieville.ā
The first taste of the project, ‘George Strait Songs’, is out now. It was written by Mize and Chaffin and it’s a heartfelt tune that pays homage to the country croonerās roots, highlighting all the best aspects of Middle America that made him who he is today.
Filmed in Pretty Prairie, KS, just miles from Mizeās hometown of Clearwater, KS, and directed by Jordan Horsch, the video for the song, finds the Sunflower State native in his childhood comfort zone, as he explores the streets and fields of a tiny town that mirrors the one that built him.
