Billy Ray Cyrus is making headlines once again, following his performance at Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day Liberty Ball. On January 24, 2025, the country star announced his upcoming album, produced by his 30-year-old son Braison Cyrus, with a release expected in the summer of 2025. In a heartfelt statement, Billy Ray emphasized the importance of art in his life, saying, “It starts and ends with art,” adding that his son Braison’s involvement makes the album even more special. He praised Braison’s talent, calling 2025 “his year” and describing the album as a “journey of a lifetime.”
Braison Cyrus, a musician himself, shared his excitement about producing the album, which he views as an opportunity to share his father’s story through music. He expressed gratitude for being able to work with his dad, revealing that the past year has allowed him to get to know his father better than ever before. According to Braison, music, stories, and family are the most important things to Billy Ray, and this project allows them to come together in a “full circle endeavor.”
Billy Ray’s new album comes shortly after a shaky performance at Trump’s inauguration festivities, where he experienced technical difficulties. Despite the challenges, Billy Ray remained positive, stating that he wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to perform, regardless of the equipment issues. “I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me,” he shared on Instagram, adding that he performed for the people, calling the experience “rock n roll.”
