Dylan Gossett on Expanding His Troubadour Sound With New Album, Touring with Mumford & Sons and ‘Trying to Make the Best Songs Possible’

Texas native Dylan Gossett's breakthrough song "Coal" became his first Billboard Hot 100 hit in early 2024, eventually becoming certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. His romantic track "Beneath Oak Trees" and his self-produced debut album "Westward" showcased his homespun, organic sound. His sophomore album "Ramblin'," released on September 25, 2025, aims to strike a balance between rustic and more full-bodied instrumentation.

Gossett expressed his excitement about the new album, stating, "I'm like a kid on a playground... there's more layering and a wider sonic space." He previewed the new album with songs like "Clothesline" and "Loving You Like That," which explore emotional turmoil and longing, respectively. The album also includes tracks like "Running From the Sun" and "Snow Melt," which had been written before "Westward."

Staying close to his roots in Texas, Gossett's new album reflects personal changes. "My Boy" celebrates his journey into fatherhood. With his son born earlier this year, Gossett hopes to raise him with a strong foundation, acknowledging the pressures of the music industry. He has opened for The Red Clay Strays and Mumford & Sons, and currently co-headlines a tour with country-folk troubadour Charles Wesley Godwin.
