William Prince Announces New Album 'Further From The Country' (Oct 17)
NASHVILLE,
TN.
– (July 9, 2025) – John Prine Songwriter Fellowship winner
William Prince returns today with the announcement of his expansive and
deeply personal new studio album, FURTHER FROM THE COUNTRY, due
out October 17 via Six Shooter Records.
The
news arrives alongside 'On Rolls the Wheel', the album’s
powerful first single and the most rocking track of Prince’s career to date.
Fueled by a highway-ready groove and fuzzed-out guitars, the song drives home
the album’s central themes of distance, reflection, and persistence. Listen here (preferred music
platform) or listen below:
“This
song is about ever-moving life,” says Prince. “Sometimes it’s easier to
subtract the lonely miles left in the journey than to think about how far
you’ve already gone. I really started to process the idea of distance traveled
when I started to make my way back to venues across the USA, where my name was
on the wall from the previous show. The truth is that life is going to continue
long after I’m gone, so why stress about what I can’t control? I feel the most
in control when I’m focused on being the best artist I can be. To keep the
wheels rolling, I need to take care of myself and enjoy the journey.”
With
Further From the Country, Prince expands his sound and perspective with
a commanding body of work that explores grief, identity, and ambition through
the lens of his upbringing in Peguis First Nation, Manitoba. Raised in a
close-knit Indigenous community and shaped by deep musical traditions, Prince’s
new songs draw on childhood memories—both joyful and difficult—as a way to
process the injustices and complexities of today’s world.
The
album’s title track, a soaring opener that moves like a rocket breaking through
gravity’s pull, sets the tone for a project that is equal parts panoramic and
intimate. From the dusty highways of 'On Rolls the Wheel' to the poignant
family portraits in 'For the First Time' and 'The Charmer', Prince’s
songwriting once again proves to be both acutely unique and universally
resonant.
