Crowder Releases New Album ‘The Exile’

GRAMMY Nominated multi-instrumentalist Crowder’s newest album ‘The EXILE’ is available today via sixstepsrecords/Capitol CMG. ‘The EXILE’ serves as the second in a three-part trilogy that began with ‘Milk & Honey,’ which topped the Billboard Top 200 Christian Charts upon release.

Produced by the GRAMMY Award-winning team Ben Glover and Jeff Sojka, the genre-bending 12-track collection of songs provide a glimmer of hope and a reminder of God’s faithfulness in the middle of displacement, chaos and uncertainty. The sonics journey from rock and traditional bluegrass infused elements to innovative urban beats. The album’s lead single “Grave Robber” also earned Crowder his fifth Billboard no. 1 single on the Christian Adult Contemporary and Airplay charts.

The record features two collaborations – one titled “[—] DASH” with TobyMac, which was released last month. It also includes another alongside GRAMMY-Award winning musician and songwriter Buddy Miller on a track titled “All My Tears,” a song originally recorded by Julie Miller and Emmylou Harris.

We talked with Crowder about the new project:

Crowder will perform on Fox & Friends tomorrow, Sat., June 1 (check local listings). He will be hosting an album signing event at the Walmart in Franklin, TN on Mallory Lane Mon., June 3 at 4pm CT. The Texas native headlined Winter Jam earlier this year and is set to cap the bill at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in August. Additionally, he will be hitting the road this fall with MercyMe as part of the “Together Again… Again Tour,” and he will headline the “Air1 Tour” in November.
