Description
The Red Clay Strays – Grateful – Target Exclusive Ruby Red Vinyl Record
Grateful is the third studio album from The Red Clay Strays, returning the band to producer Dave Cobb after Made by These Moments. Released by RCA in 2026, the record brings its country and Southern rock character to songs concerned with faith, difficult relationships, and the possibility of starting again. The eleven-song program includes “Demons in Your Choir,” “Revival,” “If I Didn't Know You,” and “Do Today,” the singles that introduced different sides of the album.
Brandon Coleman's lead vocals give the band a recognizable center, while the collective songwriting approach makes Grateful feel like a statement from the group as a whole. The title does not mean the subjects are all easy ones. “Walking Away,” “Can't Fix You,” and “Fool's Gold” sit alongside “Revival” and the closing title track, leaving room for doubt and disappointment within the larger theme of gratitude. That balance suits a band whose music draws as naturally on rock conviction as on country storytelling.
“Demons in Your Choir” begins the album before “Don't Wanna Know” and “Walking Away.” “People Hatin'” and “Revival” follow, with “Down South” keeping the band's regional identity in view. The second half moves through the relationship-centered titles before “Do Today” and “Grateful” bring the sequence to a close. The program is a complete studio album; the Target pressing does not add a separate live performance or bonus-song appendix.
Working with Cobb again gives this release a direct connection to the band's previous album. The musical appeal is the combination of strong singing, a working rock band, and songs that leave room for both force and reflection. Country listeners can follow the plainspoken themes, while fans coming from the band's louder live performances will recognize the same group identity. Grateful continues that conversation with eleven new recordings rather than revisiting earlier hits.
This Target-exclusive edition is pressed on one translucent ruby-red LP. It comes in a single-pocket jacket with a printed inner sleeve, preserving the specific packaging of the retail variant. For collectors comparing editions, the disc color is the principal distinction here. The album and its complete eleven-song sequence remain the focus, with the red pressing offering a clearly identified physical version of the band's 2026 release.
