Ella Langley Releases New Album 'Dandelion,' featuring “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”

Multi-platinum country star Ella Langley has released her highly anticipated sophomore album Dandelion, further cementing her place among the leading voices of country music’s next generation. The project, co-produced by Langley alongside Miranda Lambert and Ben West, showcases her most personal and fully realized work to date, blending introspective songwriting with arena-ready hooks.

Among the album’s standout moments is Langley’s rendition of the classic “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” originally made famous by Kitty Wells and written by J.D. Miller. Widely regarded as one of the most influential songs in country music history, the track has been credited with reshaping the genre’s narrative by giving a bold, female perspective to a male-dominated storyline. Langley’s version brings renewed energy and relevance to the song, introducing the peermusic classic to a new generation of listeners while honoring its legacy.

In support of the album, Langley will launch her sold-out “Dandelion Tour” beginning May 7 in Toledo, Ohio, with stops across major U.S. markets including St. Louis, Austin, and Fort Worth, where the tour will conclude on August 15. Additional 2026 dates include appearances on Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour and a highly anticipated debut at the Stagecoach Festival.

With Dandelion, Ella Langley delivers a defining statement of identity and artistry, while her interpretation of “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” underscores the enduring impact of the peermusic catalog in shaping country music’s past, present, and future.
