Jack Nelson to Re-Release Songs from "Let 'er Buck" Album Each Month of 2025 to Celebrate Its 10-Year Anniversary
Jack is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his debut album “Let ‘er Buck” in a unique and exciting way – by re-releasing the 11 tracks individually and shining a spotlight on each song and where he was in his life journey when they were written. “It really helps people peek behind the curtain and see what went into each of these productions.”
“Let ‘er Buck” was originally recorded and released as the “Jack Nelson Band”. Around the time of the pandemic, Jack decided to pull these songs down from online streaming platforms with the plan to be re-distributed under “Jack Nelson” going forward.
“These are the original songs and the original recordings. Nothing has been remastered or remixed. It is all 100% authentic the way it was 10 years ago. This is giving me a great opportunity to revisit those songs and show the growth that I have developed as an artist of the last 10 years. I really want to celebrate the milestone of what a decade is as a performing artist.”
Jack is engaging with his fans in a fun, creative way by taking to social media and leaving hints every month as to which track will be released next.
The original album cover art has been symbolically updated with a fresh coat of paint across the planks and an ‘X’ to indicate the past decade.
“It’s been a nice trip down memory lane and a nice badge of honor to young Jack. It’s all about celebration.”
Currently Released: “Let ‘er Buck! (10th Anniversary Re-Release)” | January 15th

Mattie Rose Set to Release Heartfelt New Single "Still Gone" on February 14th
Rising country artist Mattie Rose is set to release her highly anticipated new single, "Still Gone," on February 14, 2025. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the song delivers a raw and emotional take on love and loss, showcasing Mattie’s signature storytelling and soulful vocals.
​
Raised just north of Fort Worth, Texas, Mattie Rose draws deeply from her Texas roots, blending the rich, storytelling tradition of country music with the grit and authenticity of the Lone Star State.
“Still Gone” is a heartfelt ballad that explores the lingering presence of a love that’s long since faded. With its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, the song captures the bittersweet ache of moving on while still feeling the weight of what once was.
​
“This song is for anyone who’s ever had to let go of someone but still feels them everywhere,” says Mattie. “It’s personal, it’s honest, and I hope it resonates with people the way it does with me.”
​
Produced by Bart Rose at Fort Worth Sound, “Still Gone” blends classic country instrumentation with modern, evocative production, creating a sound that’s both timeless and fresh. The single marks the first release of 2025 for Mattie Rose, who plans to share more new music throughout the year.
​
Fans can stream "Still Gone" on all major platforms starting February 14. Follow @themattierose on social media for exclusive behind-the-scenes content, live performances, and updates on upcoming tour dates.
James Lann
James Lann isn't just another name in country music. He's a living testament to what's possible when raw talent meets pure grit.
Raised 2 hours away from the nearest telephone, James grew up amidst the untamed beauty of Arizona and New Mexico. He says, "Picture a one-room schoolhouse, eight kids, and one out house. That was my world."
While the TV stayed off, the classic country tunes stayed on. Think Conway Twitty, George Jones, and Alabama. These legends filled the air of his rustic upbringing and set him on his path.
He made his big break opening for icons like Chris Ledoux and Clint Black. From there, he was unstoppable. Three chart-topping albums later, James has claimed 11 number-one spots on The Billboard Texas Regional Charts.
