Thomas Rhett is heading into this Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards with a nomination for Best Country Album, for his latest project, Center Point Road, and he almost can’t wrap his head around the nomination, especially because it’s for his entire album. “It’s just wild,” Thomas told ABC Audio. “When you get nominated for an album, a full project, it really does mean the world, because a record just takes so much work to complete [from] the writers and the producers and the background singers and everybody. So, to be recognized by the Grammys for that is like… it’s ridiculous.”
Center Point Road features several songs inspired by Thomas’ wife and his daughters, like his most recent #1 song, “Remember You Young,” and he says, “This album was just so personal, and… I wish I knew how the voting happened. I wish I could have been in the room where I heard why my record [was nominated]. But it was really vulnerable, and it talks about my family and my hometown and one of the deeper albums that I’ve made. And so it’s really cool to see that be celebrated.”
Center Point Road also features some of Thomas Rhett’s good friends, including Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini and Jon Pardi, who sings with him on his latest single, “Beer Can’t Fix.” The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards will air this Sunday, January 26th, on CBS.
