Right Round Here is the eighth studio album by Canadian country music artist Dean Brody. The album was produced by Todd Clark and Gavin Slate, and was released via Starseed Records on September 15, 2023.[2] It includes the singles "Where'd You Learn How to Do That", "You Got the Wrong Guy", "Broke", and the title track "Right Round Here". Brody embarked on the acoustic "Right Round Here Tour" in support of the album in the fall of 2023.[3]

Background and promotion[edit]

Brody described Right Round Here as an ode to Canada, "the country that raised and shaped me". In reference to having lived in several different provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, Brody stated "from coast to coast, this nation has been both my muse and home," and that calling the album a "love letter" to the country would be an understatement.[4] In somewhat of a departure from his previous work, Brody only wrote two songs on the album: "Intro (Northern Anthem)" and "Trouble". He noted that the COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected his songwriting routine, and thus, he was only able to write four songs in two and a half years.[1] His friends and labelmates Stuart Walker and Jenna Walker of the sibling duo the Reklaws co-wrote three songs on the album, including the title track.[5] Brody noted a personal connection to the lyrics of the title track, which he says made him recognize he was "lucky to be raised with these values" stemming from growing up in a small town.[6]

The album was announced concurrently with the announcement of "Right Round Here Tour" and the release of the promotional single "Paint the Town Redneck" in May 2023.[7] One day after the album's release, Brody performed the opening two tracks "Intro (Northern Anthem)" and "Right Round Here" at the 2023 Canadian Country Music Awards in Hamilton, Ontario. The show was broadcast live on CTV in Canada, and his performance was later uploaded to YouTube.[8]

Critical reception[edit]

Logan Miller of Front Porch Music favourably reviewed Right Round Here, describing it as "a delightful mix of songs that paint a vivid picture of Canadian life and culture". He added that "the album showcases Brody’s versatility as an artist, with each song telling a unique story and highlighting his songwriting skills".[6]
