Rising country artist Cassidy Daniels sets debut LP "What Have I Got To Lose"

Cassidy Daniels will release her debut LP, What Have I Got To Lose, on September 18 through 101 Music and Thirty Tigers. The 10-song project is produced by John Osborne of Brothers Osborne, and Daniels explores love, heartbreak, faith, confidence and self-discovery across the tracklist.

"What Have I Got To Lose is my debut album, and it feels like me pulling up my chair to the table in music," Daniels said. "I've spent years writing songs, finding my voice, and working towards this moment," she added, describing the record as her sticking her flag in the sand to say who she is.

The announcement arrived alongside a new track, "Ain't No Jukebox," written with Kenny Whitmire and Lee Starr, which also made its debut on the Paramount+ series Dutton Ranch. The album also includes two previously released songs that appeared on the show, "Heart Shaped Necklace" and "Crazy Love."

The rest of the tracklist pulls from several different writing rooms. "Perfume Over Cigarette Smoke" was written with Nashville veterans Tom Douglas and Jaren Johnston, "That Kind Of Man" came out of a session with Emma-Lee and Maia Sharp, and "Come To Jesus" pairs Daniels with Joe Fox. The title track is the one song on the record Daniels didn't co-write herself, credited instead to Jeff Middleton, Stephony Smith and Clare Dunn.

Daniels has had a breakout year leading up to the album, signing with 101 Music, performing alongside Brothers Osborne and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and competing as a finalist on CBS's The Road. The debut lands as the culmination of that run for an artist still building her audience in country music, and joins the rest of this fall's arrivals on the release calendar.
