Carter Faith is expanding ‘Cherry Valley.’ The deluxe edition, titled ‘Cherry Valley Forever,’ arrives July 24th via Gatsby Records/MCA, adding 5 new songs to the original 15-track debut, with new cut “Ain’t Over Me Yet” out now as the first preview.
The timing reflects exactly where Faith stands in country music right now. ‘Cherry Valley’ earned an ACM Album of the Year nomination, the first debut album nominated in that category in a decade, following Chris Stapleton’s ‘Traveller’ in 2016. Faith is also the only female nominated in the category this year, and performed at the ACM Awards show. Last week she released a cover of Faith Hill’s “Let’s Go To Vegas” as the official anthem of this year’s ACM Awards.
‘Cherry Valley’ is a chronological document of Faith’s time in Nashville, working through breakout moments, gut-punching breakups, new loves, and family friction. Named for a road sign that came to represent her creative home, the album draws on influences ranging from Tammy Wynette and Nancy Sinatra to Pet Sounds and Revolver, shaped over 2 years of writing with producer Tofer Brown before the pair entered the studio in 2024.
The road ahead is packed. Faith joins Post Malone on his Big Ass Stadium Tour next month, plays select dates with George Strait and Chris Stapleton, then links up with Kacey Musgraves and Shaboozey in the fall. For a debut artist, that’s an extraordinary run of touring company.
Faith built toward ‘Cherry Valley’ through more than a dozen Grand Ole Opry appearances, hundreds of millions of streams, a Stagecoach debut, and touring runs with Ella Langley and Carly Pearce. She also joined Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild at the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors for a duet of “Lies Lies Lies,” written by ACM Songwriter of the Year Jessie Jo Dillon.
