***Tulip Drive***is the third studio album by American [country music](/source/Country_music) artist [Jimmie Allen](/source/Jimmie_Allen), released June 24, 2022 via [Stoney Creek Records](/source/Stoney_Creek_Records)/[BBR Music Group](/source/BBR_Music_Group).[2]

## 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.[3] "Down Home" has made the [Country Airplay](/source/Country_Airplay) chart.[4] Allen announced the album's release in May 2022, and indicated that it would contain collaborations with [Jennifer Lopez](/source/Jennifer_Lopez) and [CeeLo Green](/source/CeeLo_Green).[5] According to an interview with [CMT](/source/CMT_(American_TV_channel)), 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.[6]

## 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".[2]

[Stephen Thomas Erlewine](/source/Stephen_Thomas_Erlewine) of [AllMusic](/source/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."[1]
