Smith released his debut album, Bronco, in 2015, which featured Platinum-selling Billboard #1 "Love You Like That" and Billboard Top-20 "Hole in a Bottle." The album received critical acclaim and solidified Smith's place in the country music industry.

After leaving Mercury Records in 2019, Smith signed a record deal with longtime buddies Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley (Round Here Records) and released his second full length album, High Country Sound. Again, he earned high praise from distinguished outlets such as Rolling Stone and Saving Country Music.

In the collapse of the FGL empire, Round Here Records closed shop in 2022, forcing Smith to follow his creative convictions and take the independent route. He is set to release his third full length album in Jan 2025.
