Racyne Parker Releases Debut Full-Length Album, Will You Go With Me?
With heartfelt storytelling, small-town twang, and a fearless embrace of self-discovery, singer-songwriter Racyne Parker introduces the world to her debut full-length album, Will You Go With Me? A fusion of country, folk-rock, and Americana, the album invites listeners on a deeply personal journey of reflection, love, and dream-chasing, wrapped in rich melodies and authentic lyricism.
Inspired by her roots in Southern Oregon and her transitions through Denver and Seattle, Will You Go With Me? serves as the soundtrack to Racyne’s own evolution—both musically and personally. Each song offers a window into moments of longing, exploration, and embracing life’s unexpected turns. “This album represents a formative chapter of my life. It’s filled with reflection, self-discovery, dream-chasing, love, and moments from all the life that happened while I was busy making plans. I found myself in these songs, and I hope you can find something in them, too,” Racyne shares.
Drawing comparisons to the likes of Lainey Wilson “if she was from the PNW,” Kacey Musgraves, Lord Huron, and Keith Urban, Racyne has cultivated a sound that feels both fresh and familiar. Her ability to craft songs that resonate with the heart and soul has already garnered acclaim, with standout tracks like “Make It Out Alive,” “Willow Tree,” “Already Late,” “Most Likely To Be,” and “Summertime Sweet” making waves among fans and critics alike.
Like a personal scrapbook of the last five years, Will You Go With Me? captures the highs and lows of life—heartache, adventure, love, and the excitement of setting out on the open road. With lyrics that paint vivid pictures of her experiences, the title track asks the ultimate question:
Somewhere between strong roots and light wingsI want to soar ‘til I can’t get any olderIt’s bound to be a hell of a journey Will you go with me?
“I’ve discovered so much joy in the music and the community built around it,” Racyne reflects. “[It] seems like we’ve come so far already... and yet, we’re just getting started on what is sure to continue to be a wild ride. And I certainly don’t want to keep at it all alone. So, of course, I have to ask—Will you go with me?”
Musically, each song on the album builds a rich, intoxicating sonic landscape, making the project feel like a collection of individual stories woven together into a greater narrative. The album features tracks written entirely by Racyne, except for “See How Far It Takes Me” (co-written with Claire Kelly) and “Get Close” (co-written with Andy Sydow).
The album was brought to life with the help of producer Randall Kent at Deaf Dog Studios in Nashville, with “Get Close” produced by Andy Sydow and engineered by Loren Dorland at Mighty Fine Studios in Denver. Mastering was handled by Sam Moses at Moses Mastering (Nashville), and the project boasts performances from a talented roster of musicians, including Regan Akers (bass), Brian Cox (drums), and Blake Mohler (banjo, lap steel, pedal steel), alongside Racyne’s own contributions on vocals and guitar.
With Will You Go With Me?, Racyne Parker proves herself to be an artist unafraid to explore, dream, and invite others along for the ride. Whether it’s a song of longing, an anthem of resilience, or a ballad of newfound love, her debut album is an invitation—to adventure, to reflect, and most of all, to connect. So, will you go with her?
