On Tour Now
Today, the Mississippi-born, Texas-based singer and guitarist Jason Eady released his critically-acclaimed new album I Travel On (Old Guitar Records). The album is his first to be recorded with his ace touring band who have been relentlessly touring behind Eady’s critically acclaimed self-titled album that was released in 2017. GRAMMY-nominated musicians Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley accompanied Eady, his bandmates and wife Courtney Patton to round out the lineup that would execute the live, single-take sessions.
I Travel On is now available for purchase and streaming.
NPR Music said, “I Travel On is the sound of a deep, restorative breath being taken, of wooden instruments pushing air around a room together in real time, of middle age as a source of strength instead of crisis” while Elmore Magazine said, “There’s no doubt that Eady has found his comfort zone. The uncluttered arrangements and unforced delivery reveal the strength of Eady’s lyrics and stories.”
Noisey premiered the album opener “Calaveras County” and described the album as having “…a cohesive sound that feels weighted with meaning” while Rolling Stone Country named it one of the Top 10 Country & Americana Songs of the Week. The album has recently been embraced by The Boot, Wide Open Country, and Billboard.
With his catalog spanning from blues-infused Americana to bare-bones reimagining of classic country, Eady’s seventh full-length takes on a looser, livelier, more groove-driven sound than ever before. But while I Travel On brims with a feel-good spontaneity, the Fort Worth-based artist continues to instill each song with the subtle insight and emotional depth that makes his music so powerful.
In another departure from his previous work, Eady wrote most of I Travel On in a month-long burst of creativity. “Normally I take my pick of the songs I’ve come up with since the last album, but this time I was writing specifically for this record,” he says. “And because the album’s so groove-centered, I focused on the way words rolled off the tongue and how they moved with the music. If something felt good to sing, I just let it be instead of going back and editing myself like I might’ve done in the past.”
