Produced by Erik Herbst, Josh Abbott wrote or co-wrote all of the 12 tracks on the album including the lead off single, “All Of A Sudden,” which landed inside the Top 10 on the Texas Music Chart and brand new single, “She’s Like Texas,” to hit radio mid-January. Released via Pretty Damn Tough Records / Thirty Tigers, the album features special guest performances from Kacey Musgraves, Roger Creager and Trent Willmon.
