Luke Grimes, known for his roles in Yellowstone and the upcoming CBS series Marshals, has taken a break to delve into music. His new album, Redbird, set to release on April 3, marks his return to the music scene since his self-titled album in 2024. The first song from the album, “Love You Now”, has just been released, offering a glimpse into Grimes’ musical journey.
Grimes describes the making of Redbird as a cathartic experience, noting how music allows him to express the highs and lows of life when words fall short. The themes of love, loss, and growth lie at the heart of the album, drawing on personal experiences that resonate universally.
Produced by Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, Redbird is a 10-track modern country music project that showcases Grimes’ storytelling abilities over flashy performances. Collaborating with songwriters like Jessie Jo Dillon and Natalie Hemby, Grimes infuses the album with a stripped-down clarity that balances tradition with a contemporary perspective.
With contributions as a co-writer and instrumentalist on the album, Grimes explores love, faith, regret, and resilience in a raw and authentic manner. Redbird stands as his most personal and fully realized musical statement to date, showcasing his growth and maturity as an artist.
In Marshals, Grimes returns to his role as Kayce Dutton, transitioning from the Yellowstone Ranch to an elite unit of U.S. Marshals. Combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL, Dutton brings a unique sense of justice to Montana. The series is set to premiere on Sunday, March 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, offering fans a new chapter in Grimes’ career.
As Grimes navigates between music and acting, Redbird and Marshals serve as testaments to his versatility and talent across different artistic mediums. His ability to convey complex emotions through both music and performance further cements his status as a multifaceted artist to watch in the entertainment industry.
