Russell Dickerson (album)

The album includes the lead single "She Likes It", a duet with Jake Scott. Dickerson had discovered Scott online and encouraged him to join a songwriting session, which also led to him providing vocals on the track.[1]

Dickerson co-wrote every song on the album and co-produced with Dann Huff, Zach Crowell, Casey Brown, Josh Kerr, Ben Johnson, and Alysa Vanderheym.[2] He told Marcus K. Dowling of The Tennessean that individual tracks were inspired by the birth of his child and seeing his wife, Kailey, sing to her. Other tracks were inspired by "quiet moments" the couple had during the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple's infant son, Remington, can be heard at the end of the track "Just Like Your Mama".[3]

An uncredited review in AllMusic rated the album three out of five stars, stating that "adopts a more reflective, though no less amiable tone than its predecessor."[4]
