“All the stages of grief are on this record,” Morgan Evans tells Apple Music. “It could have been called Stages of Grief.” Instead, the Nashville-based singer-songwriter chose Steel Town—a nod to his birthplace, Newcastle, Australia, where he returned to take stock after his 2022 split from American country singer Kelsea Ballerini. “Going through divorce is horrendous, but I think it peeled back the curtain of Nashville a lot too,” he says. “Going through [the divorce] so publicly, I was presented with the reality of where I was and what I was doing.”

Referring to the album as a “journey”, it opens with his retreat to Newcastle in search of “real, tangible, non-Hollywood style things”, reflected in the uplifting country rock of the title track and the rowdy, anthemic “Beer Back Home”. From there it traverses heartbreak (“Two Broken Hearts”, “Another Drink Coming”), forgiveness (“Forgiving You for Me”) and, eventually, acceptance and healing (“The Farm”, “Letting You Go”). “The songs were very intentionally chosen because I loved them, but also because they each do a specific thing in the story,” says Evans. Here, he walks Apple Music through Steel Town, track by track.
