Actor/musician Alexander Ludwig (Heels, Vikings) will drop his second album – Highway 99 – on August 26, 2022. The upcoming album will include 16 tracks and is described as blending Country storytelling with rock ‘n’ roll energy.
“If my album could be summed up in a song it would be ‘Faded On Me,’” explained Ludwig. “The song spoke to me so much. As a kid, my parents taught me to roll with the punches, and this song is all about that. Taking whatever life throws your way and throwing it right back.”
Alexander Ludwig launched his music career in 2021 with the release of his self-titled album featuring the popular single “Let Me Be Your Whiskey.” His sophomore album is produced by Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy — two longtime members of Jason Aldean’s band. Ludwig also collaborated with David Lee Murphy (Sheryl Crow, Kenny Chesney) and Michael Dulaney (Jason Aldean, Reba McEntire) on his new album.
The release date announcement was accompanied by the premiere of the album’s first single, “Faded On Me.”
BBR Music Group/BMG released this description of Highway 99:
“[Highway 99 is] filled with 16 tracks that tell universal stories about small towns, wild nights, broken hearts, and big dreams, the album is glued together by a mix of amplified guitars, climactic choruses, and heartland hooks.”
