Kristian Bush Celebrates Turning 52 With First Installment Of New 52-Song Project

Kristian Bush is celebrating turning 52 on March 14 in a fitting way–with a brand new 52-song, four-volume collection to commemorate the milestone. The first album, 52 – ATL X BNA, couples Nashville storytelling with Atlanta’s R&B studio sounds and will be available March 25 via Big Machine Records.

The Atlanta-based singer named the first group of songs after the letters on his well-worn luggage tag, pointing to his decades traveling between Atlanta (ATL) and Nashville (BNA) airports. Two songs from the new project, “Tennessee Plates” and “Everybody Gotta Go Home,” are available now.

Bush co-wrote nine of the 10 songs on 52 – ATL X BNA with writers, including Brett James, Liz Rose, Jeffrey East, JT Harding, Bobby Pinson, and more, and recorded it in Atlanta alongside resident R&B musicians.

“Somewhere between the horns, the pedal steel and the background singers, you get a glimpse at what it’s like to make country music from Atlanta,” Bush shares. “It’s like putting Lego pieces together. There’s a point I have come to, because I’ve been home through COVID all this time, I thought, ‘I’m at a certain age where I have to admit to myself that no adults are coming to save me.’ I’ve been very busy for the last 15 years, and I’m not going to waste any more time getting these songs out.”
