Nashville-based artist Caylee Hammack has announced her sophomore album Bed Of Roses, which reflects on “the fruits of life, love and loss.” The title track is out now alongside a video. It was inspired by “a fleeting romance that never took root” and written by Hammack, Jeff Hyde and Benjy Davis. It marks the “central point” of the project.

Hammack says about the album:

We all have different experiences, but we also have similar heartbreaks. Your bed of roses is the bed you make – you get to decide how you spend your time and how you plant your garden. Good love is flowers that come back every year. Bad love, it’s just the thorn. Sometimes you got to till shit up. You’ve got to work through things and it’s not going to be fun. And then one day, your friends come over and you sit as a family on the back porch in the garden. And when they compliment the roses near the gate or the cherry tomatoes speckled about in the pasta, you get the pleasure of realizing,  ‘I grew that, I put love, time, and belief into something and it paid off.’

Sharing producer credits with Dann Huff and John Osborne of Brothers Osborne, Hammack delves into experimental territory, but continues to explore a modern Country sound. They incorporated live instruments into the recording process.
