Mr Country is the third all-vocal studio album from the celebrated Scottish performer. Having spent a decade refining his vocal craft alongside his championship accordion playing, Brandon delivers a performance here that is both confident and steeped in tradition.

The album is a carefully curated journey through the heart of country music, featuring heartfelt covers of classics alongside significant original works. Notable among these is "Mama's Gone," written by Alex Birnie, which served as a lead single for the album. Additionally, the record features Brandon’s first self-penned composition, "Let's Start Again," a song born from a period of global reflection and a desire for renewal. With musical contributions from top-tier experts in Scotland, Ireland, and Nashville, Tennessee, the production quality of this album is exceptional, bridging the gap between the Highlands and the Grand Ole Opry.
