To celebrate the announcement, Cody is debuting the first song from the album, “I Want You,” written by Tom Douglas, Tony Lane, and Matt Rogers. It's available now on all digital platforms.
“On this album, I wanted to tell the story about my childhood,” Cody said. “When I heard the song ‘Banks Of The Trinity’ for the first time, it was like this portrait showed in my head of memories that I had honestly forgotten. It just took me back home to Sebastopol, Texas, where I grew up on the Trinity River. I had tears in my eyes when I heard it for the first time.”
The album’s cover image is a photo of Lawrence’s Grocery Store in Sebastopol. As a kid, Cody would ride his bike two miles down an old dirt road to get a cream soda and a Blue Bell ice cream bar. He loved listening to the old men talk for a while before riding back home with a basket of groceries.
Banks Of The Trinity follows six hit albums, including Leather, which won the 2024 CMA Album of the Year. Cody has four RIAA Platinum #1 singles—“’Til You Can’t,” “The Painter,” “Dirt Cheap,” and “I’m Gonna Love You” with Carrie Underwood—along with numerous Gold and Platinum awards and 10 billion global streams. His latest single, “The Fall,” is in the Top 5 this week.
On Friday, April 24, Cody will headline Stagecoach for the first time. He said, “I'll never forget the first time I got the call to play Stagecoach. We were on one of the smaller stages, and I remember wondering whether anyone would even know our songs. Now we’re invited back to headline the Mane Stage. What a ride. I hope y’all bring the energy… because it’s gonna get western.”
Cody has been nominated for four awards at the upcoming 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year (“The Fall”), and Visual Media for “The Fall.” The show is Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be livestreamed exclusively on Prime Video.
Cody’s headline tour runs through the fall, with many sold-out shows, including the biggest concert-only performance at RODEOHOUSTON and the largest show ever at NRG Stadium, where he sold 80,203 tickets. He is only the second artist, after George Strait, to play a concert-only event at RODEOHOUSTON.
