Caleb Lee Hutchinson Releases THUMBS UP From LONG LINE OF LOSERS

Caleb Lee Hutchinson has released 'Thumbs Up,' the newest single off his forthcoming album, LONG LINE OF LOSERS, due out on October 30, 2026 via Broke Records.

LONG LINE OF LOSERS, produced by Titanic Sinclair who oversaw Hutchinson's 2023 debut, SOUTHERN GALACTIC, finds Hutchinson celebrating mistakes, mess-ups, and near misses over 12 stone-cold-country tracks.

The latest sampling off the forthcoming album is 'Thumbs Up.' A song that finds Hutchinson heading west in hopes of finding success in California. In the end, however, he's left with his thumb in the air, in search of a ride back home. He gets as far as Vegas before realizing, 'There ain't no home for me.'

'Thumbs Up' follows the releases of 'Sadder Days' (say it out loud…) finds Hutchinson lamenting lonely weekends, 'Famous' and 'Fast One.' With 'Famous,' Hutchinson pokes fun at the idea of being both famous and an outlaw. 'I used to be on the screen, clean shaved and eyebrows tweezed/Now I'm starting to feel my age, trying to make it on the For You page,' he sings. It's a sharp look at Internet notoriety and streaming culture, told by a guy who's actually been there.

'I'm proud of what I've done before, when I was just 18 years old,' says Hutchinson, now wiser and more experienced at 27. 'But I also know that's not all I have to contribute to the world. With that song, I wanted to take ownership of my story and also tell some very funny, very true tales.'

There is an irony to LONG LINE OF LOSERS, however. With a batch of terrific songs and hard-won music industry experience under his belt, Hutchinson finds himself set up for a winning streak. He's ready for it.

'With every artist that I look up to and admire, whether it's Sturgill, Jamey, or Tyler Childers, they're all artists who do their own thing, especially when it's not expected of them,' Hutchinson says. 'So, you've got to say things you want to say, and do things your own way.'

If you can commit to that, anything is possible.

'You can climb any old mountain,' he says, 'once you make up your mind.'
