Decades by Jeremy Pinnell

Years before releasing OH/KY — a debut album built on the borderline between Rust Belt roots music and raw, unflinching country — Jeremy Pinnell grew up within reach of the Ohio River, listening to a musical soundtrack as broad as midwestern skies.

Merle Haggard. Concrete Blonde. Tom Petty. AC/DC. Those artists were on repeat, mixing with the gospel hymns he sang in church, influencing the ever-evolving songwriting that would eventually take him far beyond Kentucky. Four albums later, Pinnell digs deep into those hook-heavy beginnings with Decades. It's the most melodic album of his acclaimed career, produced by two-time GRAMMY winner Shooter Jennings and influenced by the radio-friendly choruses he heard as a teenager.

"I love hooks," Pinnell says unapologetically. "I love big, melodic songs that talk about serious things. That's what I wanted to do with Decades: share intimate observations about myself and others in a hooky, positive way. I wanted it to be personal, but I also wanted it to be fun."

"Hardscrabble honky-tonk at its best, nodding to Johnny Cash and Buck Owens in equal measure. Ties of Blood and Affection is a stellar collection that could earn Pinnell comparisons to Sturgill Simpson.” - ROLLING STONE
