Let’s GO.
Ever since breaking out in 2023 with his certified platinum debut single, “Coal,” it was clear that Dylan Gossett was one of the future stars of the alt. country scene. Existing in a similar space as Zach Bryan and Sam Barber, the Austin native has worn his influences on his sleeve. Being inspired by a wide range of artists, ranging from Turnpike Troubadours and Flatland Cavalry to The Eagles and Ed Sheeran, they all come through in subtle ways through his mix of country, folk and Americana stylings.
After scoring some major buzz in 2024 thanks to the continued success of his debut EP, No Better Time, being featured on the star-studded Twisters Soundtrack and receiving even more praise upon the release of second EP, Songs in the Gravel, Gossett put the country community on notice last year with the release of his long-awaited debut album, Westward, in July, which quickly flew up the rankings of mine and many other alternative country fans’ Top Albums of 2025 lists.
It’s safe to say that Gossett is quickly becoming one of the biggest stars in the country-folk scene as we head into 2026, and it’s clear that he’s showing no signs of slowing down. In addition to scoring an opening spot on George Strait’s second night at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, along with Zach Top, the “Beneath Oak Trees” singer was also booked to open shows for Mumford & Sons on their Prizefighter Tour with Sierra Ferrell, Marcus King and others.
After teasing a plethora of songs throughout the year, Gossett would return in April with the stellar track about his journey into fatherhood and follow that up in June with another single, “Honeysuckle.” Given the amount of music he’s had lined up, it felt like only a matter of time until he pulled the trigger on his highly-anticipated sophomore album.
That day has finally come.
Along with the release of a brand new track, “Loving You Like That,” Gossett officially announced his sophomore album, Ramblin’, is releasing on Friday, September 25th.
In the Instagram post announcing the record, the Texas native would note that the project “feels like home to him,” expressing how excited he is for fans to hear it next month:
“My new album ‘Ramblin’’ is coming September 25th. This one feels like home to me. So excited for y’all to hear it.”
Like his debut album, Westward, Ramblin‘ will once again be self-produced by Gossett. As for what to expect from the record, it’s coming in at a tight 12 tracks, including the likes of the aforementioned “Honeysuckle” and previously-teased songs such as “Headed Back To Austin,” “The Old Me,” “Head In The Clouds” and “Clothesline.”
As for today’s new release with “Loving You Like That,” it’s yet another homerun for the 27-year-old singer/songwriter. Once again leaning into his folk sensibilities, Gossett packs the song with a heavy dose of fiddle and banjo. His vocals, in particular, sound better than ever before here, delivering some stellar harmonies on the chorus.
“Won’t you tend to the fire when the flame is burning out?
‘Cause I’ve been giving you the light that you never had
And am I holding on to hope that I shouldn’t have?
‘Cause I’ve been giving you the light that you never had
Loving you like that”
Given the fact that Gossett is one of the most talented songwriters coming out of today’s ever-growing country/folk scene, it’s safe to say we’re in for a treat when Ramblin’ releases on September 25th.
