Stephen Wilson Jr.'s Son of Dad: Deluxe Edition on 4LP. This Release Features Two New Tracks and Ten Acoustic Versions of Fan Favorites.

At it's core, Son of Dad, co-produced by Wilson and Benjamin West, is a tribute to Stephen Wilson Sr., Wilson's father who trained him as a boxer from the age of five and was himself a two-time Indiana State Golden Gloves Champion. Informed by Wilson's wildly diverse background as a boxer, a scientist (he has a degree in microbiology and chemistry from Middle Tennessee State University) and a songwriter, the album is a cathartic and high-energy rock & roll journey that will be released exactly five years to the day his father died.

This release features two new tracks taken from his viral Live at the Print Shop performance: the moving dedication to his late father “I’m A Song” and a gripping reinterpretation of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me,” as well as ten acoustic versions of fan favorites like “Cuckoo,” “Year To Be Young 1994,” “Father’s Søn,” “Grief is Only Love” and more. The deluxe album arrives as Wilson Jr.’s debut album enters its seventh consecutive week within the top 10 of the iTunes country album chart where it hit No. 1 multiple times.

About “I’m A Song (Live at The Print Shop),” Wilson Jr. shares: "A song can be a bookmark in a 10 million+ page book that can take you right to the very paragraph and page. A story is what a song is, and our species lives for stories. ‘I’m A Song’ was the song that made it all make sense for me. A cache I found along the trail that gave form to what I was chasing. My fathers’ favorite song, he told me. A song I couldn’t play for a while but one that came back to me when it was time. Time is the thread that is stamped along the way as our chosen path is woven for the length it is given. A path I chose because my father was a song, and it demands to be sung."

On the deluxe album, he states: "In an attempt to continue the conversation after the release of Son of Dad, we’ve been traveling all over the world playing these songs and watching them evolve with a few new welcome additions to the story. Playing them stripped down and in full band settings. Each performance is an opportunity to learn something new about the song."
