Carly Pearce’s new album, 29: Written In Stone, is released today (Friday, September 17th). The project is an expansion of her 29 EP which was released in February.

Carly has added eight new songs to the original seven, including one called “Dear Miss Loretta” featuring Patty Loveless and another collaboration with Ashley McBryde which was released earlier this week called “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.”

Carly tells us that when she began writing these additional songs she had no intention of adding them to 29. In fact, she says she didn’t have any specific intention other than to get a few things from the past year out of her system.

Carly is on the What A Song Can Do Tour with headliner Lady A. performing tonight night in Irvine, CA.
