Los Angeles, California (August 21, 2025)- GRAMMY-nominated Nashville songwriter Adam Wright has announced the upcoming release of his final single, “Heaven When I Die,” from his four-part solo album, Nature of Necessity. The complete 18-track collection will be available on September 25.
Wright describes “Heaven When I Die” as “a cowboy song from the saddle of a cocky young rider,” noting that the character’s confidence “cracks in the last verse” when he is alone with his thoughts. The song opens Side Four of the project, which is produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack) and recorded at East Iris Studio in Nashville. The album is a masterclass in character-driven songwriting, featuring stories of various figures like alcoholic poets, estranged fathers, and trick-shot gamblers. Wright humorously describes the album’s origin: “The story is there is no story. I didn’t get sober. There was no breakup. I didn’t awaken to some new awareness. I’m just a lyric junkie with a melody addiction. And this is rock bottom.”
To celebrate the release, Wright will host a special happy hour event during Americanafest at Carnival Music in Nashville on Tuesday, September 9, from 4-6 PM. The evening will offer an exclusive first listen to unreleased tracks from the album, giving guests a sneak peek before its official release.
Adam Wright is a highly respected “songwriter’s songwriter,” with his work being recorded by a wide range of artists, including Garth Brooks, Brandy Clark, Alan Jackson, Lee Ann Womack, and Hailey Whitters. Hailed as a “wildly brilliant genius” by Robert Earl Keen, Wright’s lyrical prowess is well-documented. His songs have earned him critical acclaim, including a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Song for “So You Don’t Have to Love Me Anymore,” recorded by Alan Jackson. While his work is featured by many artists, his solo albums showcase a distinct and deeply personal voice, with all but one song on his solo releases written solely by him—a rare feat in the Nashville music scene.
