Craig Campbell’s Almost Greatest Hits Album Available Tomorrow

Craig Campbell re-recorded six of his career-defining songs like “Fish,” “Family Man,” and “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” for his 

“I’ve been blessed to make a living making music and playing music for many years, and I owe most of that to the songs on this album,” said Craig. “The heart and soul of these songs will always be the same, but I re-recorded them more like I play them live now.”

The songs were originally recorded beginning in 2010 and were released on three albums during two record deals. The album kicks off with “Outta My Head,” which was the first single from his Never Regret album. This hit was co-written by Cole Swindell and peaked at #15.

“Keep Them Kisses Comin’” was the second single from the Never Regret album and 

had a unique story attached to it. The label Craig was signed to folded as the single was rising up the charts. Craig and others rallied radio stations and asked them to continue playing the song. It stayed on the charts another six weeks after the label closure and reached #7 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. 

Craig wrote “Outskirts of Heaven” with Dave Turnbull as a wish that he could live in a part of heaven akin to where he grew up in rural Lyons, Georgia. The vivid story and his powerful vocal continues to make the song a fan favorite. It peaked at #24.

Perhaps no song better depicts the love he has for his wife and two daughters more than “Family Man.” The first single from his self-titled debut album, the song paints a portrait of a modern working-class man struggling through tough economic times. The song became his first Top 15 single, reaching #12. 

“Fish” – arguably Craig’s most fun single to date and most downloaded – raised some eyebrows when it first hit the airwaves in 2011 on its way to #23.

“When She Grows Up” was never a radio single but has been a fan favorite for many years. Craig has sung this song at numerous weddings for the ceremonial “father-daughter” dance. On the original version Craig’s daughter Preslee sang “Jesus Loves Me” at the beginning of the recording. For the Almost Greatest Hits album, he had his other daughter Kinni sing it. 

The album wraps with a surprise track called “Sadder Day.” “It’s a song that had the sound and feel of my very first album, and I knew it had to be included as a bonus track for Almost Greatest Hits.”

In 2022, Craig and his wife Mindy opened Grindstone Cowboy in their adopted home town of Eagleville, TN. The coffee shop, restaurant and music venue has become a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike and received Ruthies Awards for best “Local Coffee Shop” and “Live Music/Concert Venue.” They are currently building out their second location in Shelbyville, TN.

The 10th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge was held during CMA Fest week and raised over $28,000 for the Kenny Campbell Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Craig to honor his father who lost his battle with Colorectal Cancer at age 36.

About Craig Campbell:

In a world fueled by the smoke and mirror act of overnight success, Campbell has long been admired for his patience and persistence on the road less traveled. A consistent balancing act of traditional values and modern industry trends, Campbell is also considered by many to be one of the most talented yet under the radar stars, across all genres. The Lyons, Georgia native grew up playing his mother’s piano and singing in church, took a job as a corrections officer in his hometown after high school, and moved to Nashville to pursue his music dreams in 2002.

He spent the next several years paying his dues as a demo singer by day and Lower Broadway gigger by night. He connected with fellow South Georgia native Luke Bryan and started touring as his keyboard player. A year and a half long keyboard stint with Tracy Byrd soon followed, and he took over as bandleader down at The Stage on Tuesday nights on his non-touring days. His smooth chops and hot-blooded stage presence caught the eye of industry execs and in 2009, Campbell signed his first record deal.

His debut single, “Family Man,” hit the Billboard top 15 in 2011. “Outta My Head” cracked the top 15, and catchy tune “Fish” garnered more than 10 million on-demand streams. His 2014 breakout hit “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” was on its way up the charts when Campbell got the unexpected news that his label had closed. He and his devoted team continued to press radio stations around the country, so much so that the single ended an impressive run well inside the Top 10, which is unheard of for a song with no financial backing.

A deal with Red Bow Records, a division of the Broken Bow umbrella, yielded the top 40 “Tomorrow Tonight” followed in 2018 by his most poignant and well-known work to date, “Outskirts of Heaven.” 

After a two-year break, he launched Grindstone Records and has been busy recording and releasing his own music as well as signing other artists to his label. He released The Lost Files: Exhibit A & B in 2023 and Class of ’89 earlier this year.

Craig and his wife Mindy accomplished a longtime dream of opening Grindstone Cowboy in their home of Eagleville last year. The coffee shop, restaurant and music venue has become a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike and was featured on Tennessee Crossroads.

The 10th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge was held during CMA Fest 2024 week and raised over $28,000 the Kenny Campbell Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Craig to honor his father who lost his battle with Colorectal Cancer at age 36.
