A fifth-generation Idahoan, Acuff grew up watching his hometown Coeur d’Alene transform before his eyes. One by one, the lumber mills closed down as a blue-collar town turned into a ritzy resort escape for elites from around the country. By the time Acuff released his 2020 debut Life Of A Rolling Stone, his perspective and concerns as an artist were already fully-formed. He’d make two more albums while living in Idaho, 2021’s If I Were The Devil and 2022’s Honky Tonk Heaven before moving to Nashville to record 2023’s Western White Pines and 2024’s American Son with producer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan and Brandi Carlile).
After the release of American Son, Acuff sat down with his producer Eddie Spear, and they puzzled over a new approach to the next project. Their answer became Enjoy The Ride (out October 3), his sixth album and a return to his roots as an independent artist. Inspired by conversations with strangers across the Southeast, the record draws on real people’s hopes and worries to build a broader narrative. Across 11 tracks, Acuff delivers the thoughtful reflections on American life that have defined his songwriting, while refusing to simply stare into the void. Instead, Enjoy The Ride leans into resilience and optimism even in the bleakest times, with songs like “His Song (What’s a Man Supposed to Be),” “Her Song (Numb to Everything),” and centerpiece “Average American” crystallizing Acuff’s vision of what he calls “western mountain country music.”
