Jackson Dean goes number-one song at country radio this week with his single, “Heavens To Betsy’.” Learn all the details here.
Jackson Dean continues to grow his stardom with each and every song. With a devoted fanbase and a country music genre behind him, Dean shows no signs of slowing down. The lead single, “Heavens To Betsy” off his sophomore album On the Back of My Dreams has officially topped the country radio charts, marking Dean’s second number single at country radio.
Written by Dean with Benjy Davis and Driver Williams, “Heavens To Betsy” was inspired by the singer-songwriter’s late grandparents. The introspective, yet catchy song speaks to Dean’s incredible prowess as both a vocalist and as a songwriter. The song feels tailored-made for country radio and a live show, making it a perfect contestant for the number one song on the charts.
“Heavens to Betsy // I don’t know if you can hear me // Up here, you’re coming in clear as a bell // Heavens to Betsy // I finally quit the drinking // ‘Cause I hate that my demons put you through hell // Then I bet you’re just as surprised as I am // They’d ever let a sinner like me in // And I know I didn’t do // Enough watching over you // But I will until I see you again // Now if you’ll let me”
Congrats to Dean and his team on another number one! It’s only a matter of time before his next radio single hits the top of the charts.

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!

Jackson Dean earns his first number-one song at country radio this week with his debut single, “Don’t Come Lookin’.” Learn all the details here.
Jackson Dean and his fanbase are surely celebrating today! The rising artist just landed his first number one single at country radio with his debut song, “Don’t Come Lookin'”, the lead single off his major-label debut, Greenbroke.
A guitar-heavy track, Dean fully cements himself into his signature sound on this introduction tune. “Don’t Come Lookin'” has been a fan-favorite from the moment it was released. With his authentic voice and driving guitars, the track is a declaration of independence. It seems fans and country radio are in agreement.
“So long, four wheels turning // Got a tank full of gas, down the road, I’m burning // Can’t say I would and I can’t say I wouldn’t // If I don’t come back, don’t come lookin’ // Feels good, about time // Blue skies ahead and B-S behind // Got the wind in my hair // I got nowhere to go so I’m already there // And maybe Moab, maybe the Rockies”
This is only just the beginning for Dean and his blossoming talent. It will be exciting to see what will happen next for him. Congrats to Jackson and his team on this exciting accomplishment!

Jackson Dean’s major-label debut album, Greenbroke is out now, March 11th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new album below.
There are many things one might imagine when they hear Jackson Dean’s gritty and soulful voice. In fact, if one was a coach on The Voice, they might imagine they’re turning a chair for the likes of Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, or Larry Fleet. It’s truly safe to assume that you’d never picture a young man behind the weathered and astounding voice.
Enter Jackson Dean, a twenty-year-old who currently has all of Nashville abuzz. While still in high school, the young phenom found himself as one of country music’s most sought-after new stars. He ultimately signed with Big Machine Records, and today, March 11, he releases his debut album, Greenbroke.
For this project, the Maryland native enlisted super-producer Luke Dick, and the pair have created a truly masterful debut. Featuring ten songs co-written by the future superstar, Greenbroke is truly the type of album that breaks the mold and gives hope for the future of country music.
Opening with an acoustic guitar and a stomping soulful beat remnant of Marc Broussard, Dean comes on fast and furious with the album’s first track, “Don’t Come Looking.” With his authentic voice and driving guitars, the track is a declaration of independence. “If I don’t come back, don’t come looking,” Dean warns as he hits the road. He’s a man on a mission as he’s “got nowhere to go, so he’s already there.”
While “Trailer Park” poses Dean as a bit of a ramblin’ man not looking to settle down, songs like “Fearless” and “Love You Anymore” show a different side. On the former, he’s sensitive and vulnerable, admitting that there’s one special person who actually makes him nervous. “I’m fearless, except when it comes to you,” He growls in a way that’s endlessly endearing.
Meanwhile, on “Love You Anymore,” he’s wishing on stars and pennies in a well that he could move on, but finding it impossible. “I wish I didn’t love you, didn’t love you anymore,” He drawls, his voice laced with vulnerability. “Wish I could find a way to get through the day // Without going through hell.”
“Red Light” is a stomping jam that shows Dean with hints of Kip Moore in what may be the album’s most radio-ready track. It’s driving, it’s catchy, and it’s brilliant. Likewise, “Don’t Take Much” offers a moment of musical levity, with a feel-good groove that’s sure to make you smile. Here, Dean muses that “It don’t take much to have it all.”
The album concludes with the poignant double-header of “Wings” and “Greenbroke.” Both show the singer-songwriter’s true heart, with “Wings” offering one of the album’s most unguarded moments, haunting and melodic in a way that can be best described as a prayer. Here, he’s longing for wings to “fly above everything,” his voice laced with a weight far beyond his eighteen years.
The album ends on a positive note, with the title track. Building the moment with a moody instrumental that leads into Dean’s powerful vocal, it offers a lyrical affirmation of what he stands for. He left home at eighteen, never to look back, running free and “writing his story in the sands of time.” If there was any question as to who Jackson Dean is, it’s clear as day here.
Possessing a grit and storytelling ability way beyond his years, Jackson Dean offers a debut album that’s one of the genre’s strongest in recent memory. He’s country music’s next big thing, and we can’t wait to be along for the ride.

Jackson Dean makes his official debut to the country music world with the release of his self-titled EP available now, April 30th, everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
Jackson Dean’s self-titled debut EP is available now, April 30th
It is quite rare to come about such a true musician in a world where music is so readily accessible through both absorption and creation. It is, even more, few and far in between for an artist to inspire, to demand attention with their tone, and keep the listener engaged through lyrics. Though, it may be above any social or intellectual strata to say that music is seldom what it was created to be: beauty in a melody, Big Machine Records has signed the vessel for it. Jackson Dean’s talent is undeniable. In the recently released debut single “Wings”, it could not have been more clear that this Maryland newcomer is no amateur at all.
While the music released thus far from Dean is polished, gritty and all things mature, it is even more compelling to learn that he is at the young age of 20 years old. Let that sink in. Though, this older-than-I-am confidence may have come more as obligation or responsibility than choice. With a seemingly distinct experience of living in a one-room cinderblock of concrete floors in the backyard of his grandfather’s house without any heat or plumbing, and living in an otherworldly universe of flying to Nashville every week to write songs, the grit and grind were embedded in Dean from the start.
“Living in that shack was hard, but I was living on my own, going to work when everyone else was going to school,” Dean shared in a press release. “It felt like another big step, a really big step to grow up a little bit more… and there are experiences I took from there most people who come after me will never know or understand.”
This self-titled EP is a first-look into the artistry and heart-on-your-sleeve type of character encompassed by this musician. “Fearless” may be considered the summarization of everything Dean has laid on the public line thus far, perhaps an entire known identity wrapped up in a song. With a hook at the end of the chorus that is shockingly attractive, emphasized by a toned back instrumental accompaniment that allows listeners to take in the construed glory, this production has something for everyone to hold on to. “Don’t Come Lookin’” walks the same line with a stronger presence of country-rooted influences that teeters on a Brothers Osborne sound. A story that aims to be off-the-grid, and intentionally goes off course because if you ain’t getting lost, you ain’t getting nowhere, this track is a rough-edged narration of spending time outdoors.
“It’s just so badass,” Dean laughs in a press release. “It’s something I used to say to my Mother, when I’d head out into the woods – very Daniel Day-Lewis in ‘Last of the Mohicans.’ Me and Luke were looking for something, and we hadn’t really written a ‘hit.’ We were sitting there with our guitars, we had the vibe and I said that. As soon as I did, he said, ‘Yeah, let’s write that.’”
Through this 5-track collection of music and versatile themes including gratitude for the smaller things, a love that won’t release its grasp and a desire to fly without hesitation, this singer-songwriter with a heart unmatched and a seemingly complex yet very real, baptized soul has made an impression in country music. And, he continues to push.
“I really wanna see how far I can push myself, how much I can endure,” Dean explores in a press release. “I wanna know how much I can do before I die, because a fear of not living a full life haunts me most of all.”
