Dallas/Fort Worth is the debut studio album by American country music singer–songwriter Drake Milligan. It was released on September 15, 2022, via the BBR Music Group and contains 14 tracks, all of which were co-written by Milligan. It includes the single "Sounds Like Something I'd Do". The album reached number one on both the iTunes Top Country Albums chart and the iTunes all-genre Top Albums chart.[1] [2]
The album was announced on August 9, 2022, as an expansion to his self-titled 2021 extended play which included five of the tracks on Dallas/Fort Worth. In a statement accompanying the announcement, Milligan explained "As a lifelong country music fan, it has been my dream to make a full-length record that pays homage to traditional country roots, while still bringing new sounds and energy to the genre". Discussing the album's title, Milligan explained As a native son of the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I’ve always been intrigued by the difference between the two cities. First, there's Dallas: a city determined to prove that everything really is bigger in Texas. Then, just 30 miles to the west, there's Fort Worth: a city that holds true to its Stockyard roots with a taut rope around its cowboy brand. My goal was to bring those same distinctions to the two parts of this album. On Dallas, the songs have a little more polish on their boots. On Fort Worth, there are nods to those traditional Honky-Tonkin’, Western swingin’, cowboy culture roots that I'm based in."[3]
