Gentle Man is the first solo album from Grammy-award-winning artist Rory Feek (of Joey+Rory). This release also marks Rory's first time back in the studio since losing his wife and country music collaborator, Joey, in 2016 to cancer. This new collection of 14 songs and stories showcase music that has a unique honesty, empathy, and humble joy that only come from having traversed the peaks and valleys of a profound life experience. And with the help of some of Nashville's finest players, the record achieves the organic purity of a bluegrass masterpiece as well as the raw emotional grit of an Americana classic. Though the album is a solo project, Rory isn't singing alone. Dolly Parton, Trisha Yearwood, Alison Krauss, Lee Ann Womack, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Sharon White, and Sonya Isaacs have all brought their familiar and iconic voices to join him on the audio recordings featured in these timeless songs.
