Cody Jinks Announces New Album ‘After the Fire’
Cody Jinks follows up his 2018 album Lifers with the new independent LP After the Fire. Due October 11th, the album is the first to be released via the Texas songwriter’s own label, Late August Records.
A former thrash-metal singer, Jinks has become one of outlaw country’s most popular new stars, amassing a passionate base of fans who gravitate to his blue-collar brand of lived-in country music and his fierce DIY aesthetic. “I tried to play the game a long time ago, I tried to do the clean-cut thing,” Jinks told Rolling Stone last year of his indie approach. “I talked to some people who wanted to shelve me for a developmental deal, but it just wasn’t a route I could see myself going down. Too much hand tying.”
Jinks cut 10 new songs for After the Fire, including an updated version of “Think Like You Think,” which originally appeared on his 2008 debut Collector’s Item. On the day of the album’s release, he’s set to perform a show in Corpus Christi, Texas, and will also open concerts for Lynyrd Skynyrd in September.
After the Fire track list:
1. “After the Fire”
2. “Ain’t a Train”
3. “Yesterday Again”
4. “Tell Em What It’s Like”
5. “Think Like You Think”
6. “William and Wanda”
