I feel like when you\u2019re forced to stop doing what you think your identity is and you\u2019re kind of forced to live with yourself, at the core of you, you start to ask yourself a lot of questions. Who am I without a guitar? Who am I without a stage? And I think that I just kept being reminded that I am a dad, I\u2019m a husband, I\u2019m a friend. And I really started to just embrace more of those moments so much more, and I think a lot of these songs definitely would not have been written without this year.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thomas recorded 25 songs in the studio, with 11 on Country Again: Side A, and the others slated for Country Again: Side B, which will be released later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Country Again: Side A features Thomas&#8217; chart-topping hit, \u201cWhat\u2019s Your Country Song,\u201d and his new single, the title track, \u201cCountry Again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas will play a special Livestream concert tonight at 8 p.m. called \u201cThomas Rhett One Night Only From Nashville.\u201d For tickets, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/thomasrhett.veeps.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thomasrhett.veeps.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/COQNWPmB3sh\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Rhett says the pandemic is partially responsible for the content on his new album, Country Again: Side A, which was released on Friday, April 30th.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":14255,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[2921,2835,115,2513],"class_list":["post-14251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-country-again","tag-country-again-side-a","tag-thomas-rhett","tag-whats-your-country-song"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-12 15:49:40","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2021\/04\/pandemic-shaped-thomas-rhetts-new-album\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
