The highly- anticipated collection, co-produced by Stell and Wide Open Music’s Ash Bowers, includes the lead single, “Prayed For You.”  Written by Stell, along with Bowers and Allison Veltz, named as one of Rolling Stone‘s “10 Best Country Songs to Hear Now,” and dubbed “Career changing” by Music Row , the hit has already amassed more than 47 million on-demand streams and in excess of 400,000 consumption units and counting.  Stell co-wrote every track on Everywhere But On, including “Home In A Hometown,” which features fellow country standout Jimmie Allen.
