Nashville recording artist Whey Jennings reveals his sophomore album ‘Baptized By Fire’ arriving on March 27, 2026 through Dirt Rock Empire. This project finds the singer-songwriter delivering a collection of songs rooted in traditional country and blues with notable Americana vibes. Jennings presents an open window into his heart and soul through twelve tracks that document his journey as a traveling troubadour and man of faith. The record features a high-tier production team led by Gary Carter with tracks recorded at Danny Parks Long Hollow Studio.
The latest focus track “Take His Hand” is a Gospel-influenced song co-written with country artist Dustin Spears. This specific piece of music carries deep personal significance for Jennings due to his experiences with loved ones facing cancer. “Our lives are gifts from God,” Jennings reflects. “While we may not always know or understand God’s will, we must always trust that He does.” This record sounds like a powerful testament to survival and the strength found in spiritual redemption.
The album includes collaborations with Jim “Moose” Brown and Tyler Booth along with a duet featuring Karen Waldrup. This body of work follows his successful debut ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ and builds upon his established reputation as a country traditionalist. “I’ve never felt more at home with my music as I do now,” Jennings shares. The track listing features “Wrong For The Time” as the opener followed by titles such as “Can’t Outrun A Train” and “Wild Horses & Bad Habits” before concluding with the title track.
