Thomas Rhett’s Sophomore Album, “Tangled Up,” Is Getting the Deluxe Treatment

Thomas Rhett released his sophomore album, Tangled Up, in September 2015, and since that time it has sold close to 500,000 copies and spawned No. 1 hits “Crash and Burn,” “Die a Happy Man” and “T-Shirt.”

The good news is TR can now afford to buy a T-shirt without holes in it (see album art below if you’re confused).

The great news is Thomas Rhett will release the deluxe version of Tangled Up on Oct. 28, with five never-before-heard tracks, including the new single, “Star of the Show,” which will hit country radio on Sept. 30.

“‘Star of the Show’ is one of those songs that I have lived with for a while and kept coming up as a song we needed to record and get to the fans,” said Thomas Rhett in a press release. “I wrote it with my dad [Rhett Akins] right after I got married, and it was the first song I ever wrote about Lauren. It was a staple in our set before we had any hits and fans still request it to this day. The deluxe [album] allows us to thank our fans for an incredible year by putting out a few new songs like this one, and also by reworking a couple of favorites by adding some friends into the mix.”

The 18-track album is filled with party anthems, dance tunes, drinking songs and love ballads, including a remix of TR’s ACM Award-winning “Die a Happy Man” featuring Tori Kelly.
