About this listen

Jimmie Allen is a Delaware-born, Nashville-made country star whose breakthrough arrived with “Best Shot,” the first of three Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 singles that also include “Make Me Want To” and the Brad Paisley collaboration “Freedom Was a Highway.” After moving to Nashville in 2007, Allen spent years honing a sound that blends contemporary country with pop and R&B edges—an approach that powers his debut album Mercury Lane and the feature-rich follow-up Tulip Drive.


Known for boundary-pushing collaborations, Allen has partnered with Noah Cyrus (“This Is Us”), Nelly, Tim McGraw, Mickey Guyton, Jennifer Lopez, and CeeLo Green. His impact has been recognized across the genre: 2021 ACM New Male Artist and CMA New Artist of the Year, plus a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist. Allen has also stepped into the national spotlight, co-hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards alongside Dolly Parton and Gabby Barrett and appearing as a featured artist on Apple TV+’s My Kind of Country, underscoring his role in shaping country’s next chapter.
