Larry Fleet Earned It (CD)

(Big Loud Records) 21 tracks, digipack -

Tennessee native Larry Fleet, who has already attracted attention with two albums and prominent singles like "Where I Find God," releases his third effort today, "Earned It," with songwriting that only those who have experienced it understand. For Fleet, a "country music truthteller" (PEOPLE) born into a generation of blue-collar workers, working hard for what you have is fundamental and written all over the robust 21-song collection.

Produced by Joey Moi, the collection is an ode to the joy and pain of working people - to what matters most: family, resilience, the life you build one day at a time.
For the album, Fleet collaborated with esteemed storytellers Connie Rae Harrington, Luke Laird, Jesse Frasure and Brett Tyler, while also breaking new ground by bringing in songs for the first time from titans like Craig Wiseman, Rodney Clawson, Jessie Jo Dillon, Michael Hardy, Ashley Gorley and many others.
