Made You Look, Hudson Westbrook's second album, came out November 6, 2026, on River House Artists and Warner Records Nashville. He'd announced it in August by putting out the title track, and "Hits Me," "Backwards" and "Hey Dallas" had already gone out ahead of it.
He has a writing credit on every one of the 16 songs, and the circle is small. Lukas Scott, Neil Medley and Beau Bailey have been there since the beginning. Joybeth Taylor, Ryan Beaver and Reid Haughton are artists in their own right. The veterans are Nicolette Hayford, Dan Alley, Marv Green and Kenny Whitmire, who is also on this Sand in My Boots bill. The record closes on "Texas Tear," written with Alley and Beaver.
That fall he took it out on the 24-date Hits Me Tour, his first headline shows in markets like New York (Terminal 5), Washington, D.C. (The Anthem), Los Angeles (The Novo) and Boston (Roadrunner), with Whitmire and Ethan Burdick along for the run.
The summer before, he'd been in stadiums with Morgan Wallen, including all four dates that closed out the Still The Problem Tour in Ann Arbor and Philadelphia. "If you would have asked me what I thought my life would look like at 22, my wildest dreams wouldn't even come close," he said when he announced the album. His debut, Texas Forever, came out in 2025.
