Coleman Jennings has a new song out and it moves fast. “Flyin'” is available now via Big Loud Texas/Mercury Records, produced by Grammy-winning veteran Dave Cobb, whose studio in Savannah, GA has become one of the most trusted rooms in American roots music. The track follows Jennings’ debut label EP ‘Ride On,’ released earlier this year.
Solo-penned like most of his catalog, “Flyin'” taps the hard twang of a Buck Owens classic for a song born from endless open-plain drives, built around a simple, propulsive longing to get somewhere and get back to living. It sits comfortably in the outlaw and honky tonk lane while keeping the looseness of a track captured in the moment, which is exactly how much of ‘Ride On’ came together, recorded in a stream of creative consciousness on the spot at Cobb’s studio.
Jennings operates across Western, folk, honky tonk, outlaw, Americana, old-time, and bluegrass without planting a flag in any single one. His debut EP introduced that range through “Head Spinning” and the 70s-style harmony-rich “Jamie,” and “Flyin'” continues building the picture of a modern-day troubadour with genuine instincts and a clear sense of where he comes from musically.
“Flyin'” is out now via Big Loud Texas/Mercury Records.
