Sam Barber Drops 28 Track Debut Album ‘Restless Mind’

Rising country star Sam Barber releases his highly anticipated debut album ‘Restless Mind’ available for streaming and download now. The 28-track project, released through Lockeland Springs/Atlantic Records, unveils Barber’s rugged, rootsy sound, blending soulful storytelling with a powerful vocal presence.

This release solidifies the 21-year-old Southern Missouri native’s emergence into the spotlight after his rapid rise in 2023, propelled by his viral hit ‘Straight and Narrow’ now PLATINUM-certified.

‘Restless Mind’ presents Barber’s heartfelt songwriting and distinctive, raspy voice across a set of self-penned tracks. With praise from American Songwriter as a “Singer-Songwriter on the Brink of Stardom,” and Rolling Stone noting his “heartfelt delivery,” Barber’s latest work reflects his passion and dedication to his craft. The album dives deep into themes of family, resilience, and introspection, with songs like the title track ‘Restless Mind’ and ‘V’ – a heartfelt tribute to his sister, whom he surprised with the song at her wedding.

“This album means so incredibly much to me,” Barber shares. “I’ve spent almost every single day not on the road making this album. Even the cover art is special – it’s the building where I posted tons of my videos early on. My hope is that everyone finds a song that resonates with them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support!”

Beyond his solo work ‘Restless Mind’ features collaborations with Avery Anna and Lily Fitts, adding dimension to Barber’s raw sound. Early tracks like ‘S.O.B.’ ‘Streetlight’ and his rendition of Tyler Childers’ ‘Jersey Giant’ reveal his ability to combine introspective lyrics with gripping melodies. Meanwhile, his recent single ‘Thought of You’ showcases a gut-wrenching, post-Western feel co-written with songwriter Amy Allen and produced by Elie Rizk.

With over six million monthly Spotify listeners, Barber has captivated audiences at major festivals such as Stagecoach and Lollapalooza. He’s now on the road with the Restless Mind Tour, which launched with a sold-out debut at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. The tour will continue across the U.S., concluding December 7 at the Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia.
