This afternoon, he announced his 11th studio album Honky Tonks and Country Songs will be out everywhere on October 25th.
He most recently put out Good Day for Living in 2022, and has been seen performing with Post Malone in the lead-up to the release of his recent debut country album F-1 Trillion, which is really cool and obviously gives him some great momentum going into this new album release (HERE)
Nichols’ new album was produced by Mickey Jack Cones (Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett) and Derek George (Randy Houser), and while he definitely had most of his big hits in the early-to-mid 2000’s with heaters like “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off,” and “Brokenheartsville,” he has consistently put out solid stuff over the years and this is sure to be no exception.
He says the music is an homage to the honky tonks he played in for years before making it big in country music:
“I’ve been in a lot of honky tonks. They’re the only places I could play for a long time, and you learn a lot about being an entertainer there, because people come wanting to hear a good song and have a good time. Country songs speak not just to those people, but to all people. My job is to make people feel good.
