Carly Pearce’s vocals are on another level.

And I can’t wait to hear them on full display on her very first live album, 29: Written In Stone (Live From Music City), which was recorded during an intimate concert event at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, Tennessee.

It’s slated to drop this Friday, March 24th, and the tracklist will feature everything from her phenomenal, career-changing 2021 record 29: Written In Stone, as well as older tunes like “Every Little Thing,” “Hide The Wine,” and her #1 hit with Lee Brice, “I Hope You’re Happy Now.”

This past week, she released a new single from the project, “Should’ve Known Better,” which is a scathing admission that she should’ve had a clue how her relationship would end based on how things were going while she was still in it.

The live show also featured special guests Lee Brice, The Isaacs on “Easy Going,” Matthew West on ‘Truth Be Told,” Jenee Fleenor on “29” and Ashley McBryde on their #1 duet “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” so we’ll get to hear these songs truly come to life in every sense.

Of the new project, Carly says it has meant the world to her for fans to hear the songs live out on the road, and she wanted to share that special experience with the whole world:

“’29: Written In Stone’ changed my whole life in every way.

To those of you who got to experience it on the road with me, those moments were some of my favorite of my entire life.”

Carly already released two other songs from it, including her Grammy-winning duet with Ashley McBryde “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” as well as her current single “What He Didn’t Do.”

While live albums aren’t typically much to write home about for the most part, Carly has such an incredible and sincere delivery that I think hearing her songs in a concert setting will add a really neat layer and perspective to them that will serve them well.
