Rissi Palmer - Rissi Palmer (Remastered 2024) (2024) Hi-Res

Rissi Palmer is the debut album from country music singer Rissi Palmer, issued on 1720 Entertainment. It debuted at #56 on the Top Country Albums chart, in addition to peaking at #16 on the Top Heatseekers and #41 in the Indie charts. The album's two singles, "Country Girl" and "Hold on to Me", both charted on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

The album was re-released on April 26, 2024 and remastered upon the return of the masters to the artist. Additional songs from the 2006 Country Girl EP were included increasing the total to 15 tracks. Many of the songs contain instrumental changes which came from the original recording sessions. Rissi Palmer has also stated on Instagram a vinyl release is in the works.

Rissi Palmer made history in 2007 with her breakthrough single "Country Girl" from her self-titled debut album, becoming the first Black female country artist to chart on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart in 19 years. Over 17 years later, Rissi’s debut album has earned its place in music history, with SPIN Magazine recognizing it as one of “Ten Essential Albums by Black Artists” in 2024.

A trailblazer for Black women in country music, Palmer has since independently released three albums, including Revival (2019), which was named one of Rolling Stone's “Top 25 Country-Soul Albums of All Time.” Her discography also includes the Back Porch Sessions EP (2015) and the children's album Best Day Ever.

As one of only nine Black female artists to chart on Billboard’s Country Charts, Rissi Palmer continues to influence the music world. She tours both nationally and internationally, serves as a special correspondent for CMT Hot 20 Countdown, and is a Governor at the Recording Academy Nashville.
