New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Mississippi-born, Texas-based singer, songwriter and guitarist Jason Eady released "Wayside," the second song to be pulled from his ninth studio album Mississippi that will be released on August 11. Eady also announced an extensive album release tour that marks his first full band-outing in more than 5 years. The tour will be supported by Midnight River Choir, who will also serve as his backing band. Find a full list of tour dates below or visit his website.
The album, produced by the Band of Heathens' Gordy Quist, and is now available for pre-order via Eady's official website or by signing up for the Jason Eady Music Club. All members of the Club will receive a physical copy of the album for free ahead of release day. Listen to "Wayside" via Top40-Charts.com!
"I'm excited to release the second single from my upcoming album "Mississippi" called "Wayside", out today," shared Eady. "I'm also excited to finally announce the album release tour starting in August of this year. I will be going out with my friends Midnight River Choir, who will be opening every show and then doing double duty as my band. This will be the first time I've been on the road with a band in five years and I can't think of a group of guys I'd rather do it with. I hope you'll all come catch one of these shows. We're going to have a great time and recreate the live spirit of this record every night."
"Wayside" follows the release of "Way Down In Mississippi," which was embraced by Billboard who said, "Eady retraces his musical journey and his deep Southern roots on this bluesy, gospel-infused track... This singular melding of musical synergies, layered with Eady's husky voice, makes his latest musical iteration feel timeless."
The album announcement follow's Eady's 2021 album To The Passage of Time that features perhaps his most poignant song to date "French Summer Sun." The record was praised by Holler, Rolling Stone, and Texas Monthly, who said, "Eady's whiskey-warm voice, which goes from low and rich to lonely and longing with impressive agility, could make anyone's tale sound like that of a wise, poetic wanderer."
