Cody Johnson releases his tenth studio album, Banks of the Trinity, on June 26, 2026, through COJO Music and Warner Music Nashville, a 16-track project produced by longtime collaborator Trent Willmon and recorded with guest features from Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne. Named for the Trinity River near Johnson’s hometown of Sebastopol, Texas, the album is a deeply personal record rooted in the ranching country where Johnson grew up. With 16 tracks, two high-profile collaborations, and a producer with a deep understanding of Johnson’s voice, Banks of the Trinity is one of the most anticipated country music releases of 2026.
What Is Banks of the Trinity About?
Banks of the Trinity draws its identity from Trinity County, Texas, a stretch of East Texas defined by river bottoms, ranch life, and small-town loyalty. The album title is a direct nod to the Trinity River that runs near Johnson’s hometown of Sebastopol, and the cover art features a photograph of Lawrence’s Grocery Store, a local landmark loaded with personal meaning. In a streaming era that rewards novelty, Johnson leans hard into authenticity, building a record that honors the people and places that shaped him into one of country music’s most consistent touring acts and a two-time CMA Award winner.
Producer Trent Willmon, who has worked alongside Johnson across multiple projects, brings a sonic warmth to Banks of the Trinity that feels grounded rather than overproduced. The result is an album that sounds lived-in and honest, country music that earns its emotional weight the old-fashioned way.

Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne: Inside the Collaborations
“Fool Proof,” featuring Brothers Osborne, is written by Jeff Hyde, Jason Scott, and Jared Conrad. The pairing of Johnson’s big Texas voice with T.J. and John Osborne’s rootsy, harmonically rich blend makes this one of the most interesting tracks on the record. “Shoot the Bull” brings in Luke Combs, country music’s streaming heavyweight, for a collaboration that feels both natural and long overdue. Johnson and Combs share a deep respect for country music’s storytelling tradition, and that mutual appreciation runs through both songs. These are not throwaway duets; they are intentional artistic partnerships between artists who genuinely mean it.
