Entertainer of the Year Cody Johnson Releases Sixth Album Today
2026 ACM Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year Cody Johnson releases his sixth album, Banks Of The Trinity, on COJO Music/Warner Records Nashville today. The 16-track album, produced by Trent Willmon and featuring collaborations with Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne, is available HERE.
Music critics have already claimed, ‘Cody Johnson has built his career on a simple principle: he doesn't record songs he doesn't believe in. That unwavering authenticity has become his calling card star.’
‘Banks of the Trinity serves up another round of more of the same: polished variations on the “three chords and the truth” formula that has always defined genuine country, stories of hard work and heartaches and tall tales told from a barstool, all delivered with an authenticity that only comes from lived experience.’
‘His most personal album yet.’
‘It is an album about memory, marriage, faith, fatherhood, resilience, masculinity, mortality and identity.’
‘It feels like the work of an artist operating at the absolute peak of his powers: confident enough to be vulnerable, successful enough to take risks and wise enough to know exactly who he is.’
‘What makes 'Banks of the Trinity' so impressive is its intentionality.’
