Jackson Dean: ‘On The Back Of My Dreams’ – Album

Jackson Dean’s sophomore album, On The Back Of My Dreams is out now, September 6th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new album below.

Young rising star, Jackson Dean blew fans and the country music industry away when he released his debut album, Greenbroke back in 2022. About two and half years later, the Big Machine Records recording artist is refining his sound with a brand new project. Dean’s new album, On The Back Of My Dreams is officially out today.

The singer named his record with purpose. According to Dean, “The title can be interpreted from a few different angles but the face value of that phrase is that in-between state, when you’re in the process of waking up, but reality hasn’t quite set in and each song on this project has a little bit of that magical surreal feeling…its drawn from a lyric in the song ‘Jane,’ this kind of otherworldly, misty or ethereal tune that immediately embedded into my brain.” shared the singer in a recent press release. “I’ve intentionally lived a lot of life and have watched a lot of life be lived and each of these songs were written from a single frame of life, almost as vignettes, drawn from daydreams, nightmares and everything in between.”

The thirteen song project showcases Dean’s gritty voice and bluesy tone, as well as, his songwriting prowess. Amongst the thirteen songs, the singer is a writer on every single one. Songs like “Big Blue Sky” and “Sweet Appalachia,” combine his captivating vocals with an incredible production that adds to ambiance of the record.

Alternatively, Dean’s talents shine in quieter moments too. Tracks six through nine showcase the power of story-telling, honesty, and authenticity in music. Standouts include “Train,” a haunting track and, of course, “Heavens To Betsy.” The latter, written when Dean was just nineteen yers old, is heart achingly story of a regret-filled man who its seeking redemption.

Another stand track, “Another Century” reads like a church hymn. With little guitar to back him, Dean’s voice takes center stage. As a listener, you cannot help but to hang on every word he sings. The track is an emotive and honest song that feels important and raw all at the same time. It also has a special incredible surprise in the last 45 seconds of the track.

Every single song off On The Back Of My Dream is exactly what music is all about. Dean takes fans on an emotional and honest journey, weaving us all through love, heartbreak, redemption, and reflection. His talent is a former kind of talent, and this record deserves its flowers!
