Morgan Wallen's new Dangerous: The Double Album is out today (1/8) and according to Morgan the project took almost three years to complete.

Wallen said, "Started writing for this album two and a half years ago and had no idea what those two and a half years were going to bring. I tried to put all of those emotions from that time into one album but couldn’t — so we decided to make two. I hope you listen and it brings you some escape, some joy, some peace. That’s what I’ve found in it. Thanks for all of the support and I can’t wait to play these for y’all live one day."

In celebration of the new release, Wallen will go Live From The Ryman for one night only this Tuesday, January 12, on his YouTube and Facebook pages, performing a full band set of the all-new material. The global livestream event will take fans into Nashville’s mother church for the high-octane concert, starting at 9pm ET / 8pm CT.

Morgan posted a video to Instagram last night (1/7) saying, "Started with some keys, ended up with em too."
