Parker McCollum released an official studio duet version of his current hit single, “Killin’ Me,” featuring country music veteran Lee Ann Womack. The track transitions the song from a solo track into a collaborative performance between the two Texas natives, with the release following their highly publicized live performance of the song at the 61st Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards.

The newly recorded track is the opening number on McCollum’s self-titled fifth studio album, which recently won Album of the Year at the ACM Awards. Originally tracked with Womack and her daughter Aubrie Sellers providing background vocals, the song was later sent to country radio, where it became a mainstay on major stations and a permanent fixture in McCollum’s touring setlists. Following the positive reception of their live awards show pairing, the artists returned to the studio to formally cut the full duet version.

The partnership represents a deeply connected family collaboration behind the scenes. The parent album was co-produced by Frank Liddell, who is Womack’s husband, alongside lead engineer Eric Masse. Additionally, Sellers sings background vocals on tour with McCollum, while Womack’s youngest daughter, Anna Lise, served as an assistant engineer during the New York City studio sessions for the record. McCollum expressed profound gratitude for the veteran singer’s involvement, praising her legacy and impact on his career. The singer praised the family dynamic surrounding the project, noting that sharing the studio space and the stage with Womack and her family was a career highlight.

Reflecting on the joint effort, McCollum shared his admiration on social media: “She’s literally country music royalty y’all… this is a huge deal. Couldn’t be more grateful to have Lee Ann Womack on this song with me.” The song was co-written by McCollum alongside veteran songwriters Monty Criswell and Randy Rogers.

The track is now available across all streaming channels worldwide – HERE.

Wynonna Judd is set to release her first solo studio album in a decade, titled The Hard Truth, a project she describes as her most revealing and emotionally honest work to date. Scheduled for release on Oct. 2, the album arrives after a five-year creative journey and follows a period of profound personal loss, reflection and renewal.

Judd announced the project alongside its lead single, “Kentucky Queen,” a song that reconnects her with her Kentucky roots while reflecting on the experiences that shaped her life and career. The 11-track collection marks the first time the five-time Grammy winner has co-written an entire album, with longtime collaborator and husband Cactus Moser serving as producer. Recorded primarily in Tennessee, the project explores themes of resilience, faith, grief and personal growth.

In a statement accompanying the announcement, Judd said, “I’ve spent a lifetime singing about heartbreak, healing, faith, and survival, but I’ve never made a record like this one.” She added, “These songs tell the truth about where I’ve been, what I’ve lost, what I’ve overcome, and who I’ve become.” The singer said the album challenged her to embrace vulnerability and prioritize authenticity over perfection, and features guest appearances from acclaimed artists including Patterson Hood, The War and Treaty and Iron & Wine, adding diverse storytelling voices to a record centered on endurance and self-discovery.

To support the album, Judd will embark on a series of concert dates this summer, including performances with Melissa Etheridge and a special Kentucky run tied to the album’s release.
