Hudson Westbrook Drops New Single From Upcoming Debut Album
Learn about the writing, production, and chart potential of ‘Damn Good Taste In Whiskey’ from Hudson Westbrook’s upcoming album ‘Texas Forever.’
Hudson Westbrook’s latest single, Damn Good Taste In Whiskey, drops July 11, 2025, via Warner Music Nashville and River House Artists. The song, co-written with Randy Montana and produced by Lukas Scott and Ryan Youmans, previews his upcoming debut album Texas Forever, out July 25. Built around acoustic guitar, fiddle, and organ, the track puts a fresh spin on neotraditional country and red-dirt sounds.
Lyrically, the narrator jokes about having “bad taste in women but a damn good taste in whiskey,” pairing regret with a top-shelf palate. This self-aware, bar-room storytelling is quickly becoming Westbrook’s signature style. His rise started with viral hits like Take It Slow and House Again (now RIAA Gold), and he’s currently pulling in over five million monthly Spotify listeners.
Westbrook kicks off his Texas Forever tour this fall and has pledged merch sales to flood relief, connecting his music and philanthropy. The new single cements his place among modern country’s rising stars.
