On Tuesday night (March 12), Jake Owen revealed the track listing for his debut album, Greetings From…Jake, under the Big Loud Records umbrella at Flamingo Cocktail Club in Nashville. The 14-track album, set for release March 29, will feature his ACM-nominated single, “Down To The Honkytonk,” and seventh career No. 1 “I Was Jack (You Were Diane).” Each round of new singles was accompanied by a signature cocktail inspired by songs from the album.
After welcoming the audience, Clay Hunnicutt, President of Big Loud Records, said, “There are a lot of people in this room that helped create this music. To the writers, producers and all the contributors to this project, we want to say thanks. This is a really special project that we are very excited to be putting out.”
Owen expressed his excitement for the album adding, “This definitely isn’t my first rodeo, but what is exciting is there aren’t a lot of repeat writers. Even though [the album] is Greetings From…Jake, this is a party today for all of us to celebrate what I am very thankful for. This is a new chapter in my life with Big Loud and the album title is my journey. In any journey, it is time to check in and send a postcard. I think each song on the record is a little bit of where I am in life, where I am going and where I have been.”

Owen shared songs “Ain’t Here To Talk,” “Grass Is Always Greener” (featuring Kid Rock) and “Homemade” while guests sipped on Mama’s Sweet Tea. He offered an acoustic performance of “In It,” which highlighted his rich baritone voice.
Owen brought guests south of the border with his Sweeter Than a ‘Spicy’ Margarita and his next radio single “Drink All Day,” followed by “Señorita” (ft. Lele Pons) and “Mexico In Our Minds.” He played “Made For You” which will be featured on the Bachelorette. He will also play the song at Michael Ray and Carly Pearce’s wedding.
The That’s on Jack Mule ended the final round of singles, including “That’s On Me” and “River Of Time” closing with “Damn” which Owen has been playing on tour for 12 years.
