Background

Dickerson co-wrote all but two of the 12 songs on Famous Back Home, making it the first time the singer has any used outside cuts on one of his albums. He co-produced the record with longtime collaborator Josh Kerr, with additional production from Casey Brown and Chris LaCorte on select songs. [1]

Famous Back Home was announced on June 5, 2025, alongside its cover artwork, on Dickerson's social media accounts. [2] On the inspiration for the album's title, he said: "Growing up in a small town, I had this idea 'I'm going to make it out of here. I'm going to make it big. Everybody is going to know my name' But then you have a family and it's like, 'Actually, all I want to do is be famous at home'. The further down this road I get, the more I realize the only thing that matters is my family". [1]

Singles

"Bones" was released as the album's lead single on July 15, 2024, [3] and was previously included as the title track on a five-track EP released on August 30, 2024. [4] The song debuted (and peaked) at number 36 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. [5]

"Happen to Me" was released on March 10, 2025, as the album's second single. [6] It was added to 66 country radio stations upon impact and was the highest streaming debut of Dickerson's career. [6]

The album was also preceded by the release of three promotional singles: "Heard It in a Country Song", "Sippin' on Top of the World", and "Worth Your Wild". [7] [8] [9]

Promotion

Dickerson supported the album with the RussellMania Tour, which initially began on March 14, 2025, in Nashville, [10] with the singer later adding a second and third leg of the tour that extended it through November 2025. [11] With the tour name inspired by Dickerson's love of wrestling, he played a "special hype-up video" recorded by Hulk Hogan for the crowd at his shows, and posted a remembrance on his social media accounts following Hogan's death in July 2025. [12]
