Tulip Drive is the third studio album by American country music artist Jimmie Allen, released June 24, 2022 via Stoney Creek Records/BBR Music Group.

Background

"Down Home" was the first single released from the album. Co-written by Tate Howell, Rian Ball, and Cameron Bedell, the song is about Allen's father. "Down Home" has made the Country Airplay chart. Allen announced the album's release in May 2022, and indicated that it would contain collaborations with Jennifer Lopez and CeeLo Green. According to an interview with CMT, Allen considered every track to be reflective of a personal experience in his life. The last track, "You Won't Be Alone", features Allen's son Aadyn.

Critical reception

Buddy Iahn of The Music Universe stated that "the album’s title is deeply personal to Allen’s family ties – Tulip Drive is the name of the street his late grandmother grew up on".

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five, stating that "generally, Tulip Drive is operating on cruise control on a suburban street: it's a smooth ride but kind of dull."
