Rory Feek is making music again. The singer announced he’ll release his first solo album, “Gentle Man,” on June 18th. It will be Rory’s first album since his wife and singing partner Joey passed away from cancer in 2016.

“I’ve been in the studio making a new album for the last few months,” he shared on his blog. “And that’s a big, big change for me. To make a record without Joey isn’t something that I was sure I’d ever do.” Noting that he’s never made an album on his own, he adds, “I guess it was finally just time.”

Joey also shared the first single from the record, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A Changin’.”
