Carter Faith is doubling down on the album that turned her into country music’s most-watched newcomer. The Nashville rising star announced today that Cherry Valley Forever, the deluxe edition of her breakthrough debut Cherry Valley, will arrive July 24 via Gatsby Records/MCA. To hold fans over, she’s also dropped a new track from the project, “Ain’t Over Me Yet,” available now on all streaming platforms.

The deluxe stacks five new songs on top of the original fifteen, including “Dead Horse,” “Nothin’ Better To Do,” “Pearl Handled Pistol,” “If A Man’s From Texas,” and the newly released “Ain’t Over Me Yet.” It’s a generous extension of a record that Rolling Stone called “one of the best country debuts in recent memory” and named the best country album of the year, slotting it at No. 17 on its Best 100 Albums of 2025 list. Billboard wasn’t far behind, dubbing the project “a masterful collection of songs… an instant classic.”

The deluxe announcement lands in the middle of a genuinely historic run for Faith. Cherry Valley just earned an ACM Album of the Year nomination — the first debut album to crack that category in a decade, since Chris Stapleton’s Traveller in 2016. She’s also the only woman nominated in the category this year and will perform at the ceremony. Last week, she dropped a cover of Faith Hill’s “Let’s Go To Vegas,” which has been tapped as the official anthem of the 2026 ACM Awards.

If you want a taste of why everyone from Jimmy Fallon to Willie Nelson has been pulling her on stage, her late-night debut from earlier this year is a solid entry point — watch her perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-v1WqcBupU

Faith isn’t slowing down on the road, either. She kicks off a stadium-sized summer next month opening for Post Malone on his Big Ass Stadium Tour, with select dates supporting George Strait and Chris Stapleton along the way. The fall brings runs with Kacey Musgraves and Shaboozey, plus festival stops at Railbird, Windy City Smokeout, and Country Calling. Oh, and she’s making her acting debut later this year opposite Jessica Chastain in the Netflix film Heartland — because apparently sleep is optional.

Named for an imagined place — a road sign Faith once spotted that became shorthand for her creative home — Cherry Valley sits at the intersection of Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, Pet Sounds, Revolver, and modern country. The deluxe doesn’t reinvent that world so much as deepen it, adding more chapters to a debut that already feels like a defining document of this country moment.

Pre-order Cherry Valley Forever and stream “Ain’t Over Me Yet” now. July 24 can’t come fast enough.
