Twitty & Lynn’s highly anticipated album, Cookin’ Up Lovin’, set to release on April 20, is a remarkable blend of original compositions and cover songs. Tayla serves as the primary songwriter, and Tre is the co-writer.

Tre Twitty And Tayla Lynn’s “A Salute to Conway & Loretta”
Twitty & Lynn’s internationally acclaimed production, “A Salute to Conway & Loretta,” is a heartfelt celebration of country music, the timeless tradition of duet singing, and a loving tribute to the iconic figures they affectionately call “Poppy” and “Memaw.”
“I think of us as the ambassadors of the Twitty and Lynn names — we’re just the new version of what they’ve already established,” Tre said. “But we also want to be caretakers of the past. At our shows, we get generations of fans because country music is passed down.”
“It’s about family — the fans’ families and our own,” Tayla expressed. “We have so much love and respect for Conway and Loretta, and we want to carry this on in such a way that we make our families proud.”
While currently on tour, Twitty & Lynn are captivating audiences with their grandparents’ timeless hits and are set to introduce their own new music. They have nearly 120 dates booked nationwide in 2024, sharing their family’s musical legacy with thousands of fans.
