Turnpike Troubadours fans, the wait is over. The Oklahoma-based band has announced that they'll release their new album A Cat in the Rain on Aug. 25 via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers. The 10-track, Shooter Jennings-produced album is the band's first album in 6 years, following-up 2017's A Long Way From Your Heart.
The group, which was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame this past fall, previewed the album with the single "Mean Old Sun," along with a music video filmed at Tulsa's Cain's Ballroom.
Recorded at Muscle Shoals' Fame Recording Studios and Dave's Room in Los Angeles, A Cat in the Rain is the Troubadours' first album since announcing their self-imposed hiatus in 2019.
"I have that same adrenaline rush again," band member Evan Felker told Rolling Stone. "Waiting around to put this album out, and getting to share it with other people. I would miss that if I weren't still doing it. I would miss making something, because I can't make anything else at this level."
The band will also kick off a headlining tour on Aug. 24 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Morgan Wade, Kaitlin Butts, Old 97's, Hayes Carll, Pony Bradshaw, Blackberry Smoke, Jason Boland & the Stragglers, The Avett Brothers and more will join the band for select dates.
