Billy Ray Cyrus has announced a new album in collaboration with his son, Braison Cyrus, marking a deeply personal musical journey for the father-son duo. The news comes amid online buzz following Billy Ray’s widely criticized performance at President Trump’s inaugural event at the White House.
Braison took to social media to express his excitement about the project, describing it as an opportunity to share his father’s story with the world. He emphasized how important music and family have always been to Billy Ray, stating, “I’ve spent this past year getting to know my dad better than I ever have.”
He continued, “I’ve heard stories, jokes, and songs that I don’t think anyone else has. It’s an opportunity to tell my dad’s story through music, and I’m fortunate to be able to take it.”
Billy Ray also shared his own thoughts, expressing his pride in working alongside Braison. The Achy Breaky Heart singer called the album “art imitating life, imitating art” and described it as a special record. “It starts and ends with art. Braison is very talented, and ‘25 is his year. I’m glad to be a part of it. This record is gonna be special. I’m gearing up for what will be the journey of a lifetime.”
The announcement follows public concern from Billy Ray’s other son, Trace Cyrus, who previously urged his father to seek help after his controversial performance. Despite the surrounding drama, Billy Ray remains focused on his music and supporting Braison’s career.
Braison, who debuted his own music career in July, seems to be carving his own path while staying close to his roots. With this collaboration, the Cyruses are set to bring fans a heartfelt album that blends family history with musical storytelling.
