ERNEST said he doesn’t know “how many times there’s been a Texas swing song” performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, “but by God,” the breakthrough country artist delivered one on the late night talk show on Tuesday night (April 23).

ERNEST posted a photo with host Jimmy Kimmel and shared the video on Instagram of his rendition of “Why Dallas,” one of 26 tracks to appear on the singer-songwriter’s latest album that made its debut earlier this month. The project, titled as a nod to ERNEST’s hometownNASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — features “Why Dallas” as a collaboration with Lukas Nelson. It’s one of several collaborations on the album, along with tracks featuring Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, HARDY, and ERNEST’s nearly 3-year-old son, Ryman Saint, who delivers a live-recorded rendition of “Twinkle Twinkle.”

“I was born and raised in Nashville,” the 2024 ACM New Male Artist of the Year and Artist-Songwriter of the Year nominee said in a statement when his album released on April 12. “I love this city, it's the country music capital of the world, and this album is a positive affirmation in the name of country music. That country at its core, the songwriting and storytelling, is popular again.”
