New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Shooter Jennings has released his new song, "Denim & Diamonds." A song whose sound gives the listener the sense that it's been a classic for decades, "Denim & Diamonds" is a dark and smoky acoustic guitar and bass-driven paean to the late 80s/early 90s line dancing culture that thrived in dive clubs across the country and the people in his life who lived to go out and simply dance the night away. It was a scene he judged harshly while growing up, yet now looks back on with fondness as he reflects upon the carefree days of youth, wondering where the people who partied in these clubs are today.
"Denim & Diamonds" got its premiere today via The Fader, which wrote, "this is the kind of song you don't just roll out of bed and write, but have to kick around life for decades to figure out." It's the third single from Jennings' new album, SHOOTER, which arrives at all music retailers and streaming services via Low Country Sound and Elektra Records on Friday, August 10. The album was produced by longtime friend and collaborator, Low Country Sound founder Dave Cobb, at the renowned RCA Studio A on Nashville's
Music Row.
Heralded by Rolling Stone as one of 2018's "30 Most Anticipated Albums," SHOOTER is available for pre-order now at all DSPs and streaming services HERE. All pre-orders are joined by an instant grat downloads of the LP's "Fast Horses & Good Hideouts," "Rhinestone Eyes" and "Denim & Diamonds." All three tracks are joined by new companion videos that see Jennings hosting his very own variety show, entitled Hey Shooter! "Fast Horses & Good Hideouts," "Rhinestone Eyes" and "Denim & Diamonds" are streaming now at the official Shooter Jennings YouTube channel.
Jennings' "The Bound Ta Git Down Tour" hits the highways soon and includes headline shows, dates supporting Turnpike Troubadours, as well as festival performances including
Black Mountain, NC's Jam In The Trees (August 25), Tahlequah, OK's Medicine Stone Festival (September 22), and Fort Worth, TX's KFWR Annual Ranch Bash (October 20).
