Tammy Cochran’s new album, 30 Something and Single, will be released on June 9, in the middle of this year’s CMA Music Fest.

30 Something and Single is Cochran’s fourth album, and it is one that she is very eager for fans to get their hands on. “I am so excited about this album, because it's all me. By that, I mean that I got to chose which songs went on the album and how they were produced. It was great to make the album that is 100% me without any external influences,” she said.

One of the highlighted songs on the album is “Half the World Away (Shawn’s Song),” a ballad that holds a very special place in Cochran’s heart. Before writing that song, she had begun what would become a grueling and drawn out process as she tried to adopt a child from Guatemala.

Cochran wrote “Half the World Away” during a time when she wasn’t even sure her adoption would go through. “The adoption took two years to complete when it should have only taken about 10 months,” she said. With this song, Cochran was able to express her emotions during that time of turmoil in her life and capture the joy that comes with welcoming a new child into her family.

“Half the World Away” is one of eleven total songs on 30 Something and Single. Fans can pre-order the album at www.tammycochranfans.com. Cochran will also be meeting fans at sponsor booths in the Nashville Convention Center during CMA Fest.
