Cole Swindell on Crafting New Album ‘Spanish Moss’: ‘We Ended Up With So Many Songs We Love’

Cole Swindell tells Billboard about the stories that inspired the songs on his new album 'Spanish Moss.'

1 Country Airplay smash “She Had Me at Heads Carolina.” On his fifth Warner Music Nashville album, Spanish Moss, which releases Friday (June 27), the Georgia native continues balancing songs that are deeply personal, while not abandoning Swindell’s instinct for commercial hits. The 21-song Spanish Moss has been in the works for over two years, as Swindell briefly took some time away from writing and recording to focus on his marriage and personal life. He just wrapped a run of international shows in Australia and New Zealand, opening for Cody Johnson, and in the coming months, he’ll be figuring out how to balance tour buses and baby cribs, but he’s up for the challenge.
