PSA: Turnpike's new album dropped today

[np307]

Sounds great on my first listen through. "The Rut" is my early new favorite, "Brought Me" is my favorite from the singles they dropped.

They’re just great, so consistent too. There aren’t that many bands where you can hit play and enjoyably listen through an entire album time after time.

Definitely a family favorite here!!! We were stoked when they got back together. As a side note Zach Brayn's new album dropped today as well and in one of his new songs he references Turnpike getting back together and writing songs.

Zach Bryan makes some good music and seems like a good guy but he needs to learn what the word "cull" means.

Album should be sitting in my mailbox later today.

Happy Felker's back...

This is what I love about em.

It doesn't have to be full of bangers and hits, it's just solid. Great tunes with poetic real feelings surrounding actual experiences - often associated with the rural. Still the only band I have ever heard mention volunteer firefighters.

Personally, listening to many of their songs feels like being at my high school class reunion. Their lyrics check all the boxes.

The Rut is Legit.
Felker and Lund have hunted elk together in Idaho. "90 seconds of your time" is about when someone untied their horses while they were hunting....

This thread just made my day. Been awhile since they’ve put out a new one. I know what will be playing today!

We’re going to see Turnpike tomorrow. We usually see them at least once a year with friends. I’m glad Evan is sober, but I will say the shows when he was absolutely hammered were much more entertaining.

One hour out from a three hour ride to get the pup some grouse contacts this weekend...can't wait to fire this up!

My brother picked up a Belgian-made Browning a few weeks back, so he's subjecting his four boys to a little Turnpike in the truck.

I hope Felker can keep it together for a bit.

while I do love "Rut" Zach Bryan wins the day. Another great release.

Glad to see Felker get his life back on track.

Muck Firanda Lambert.

Just went to their show here on Friday night!! Was hoping they’d sing the rut, but man best concert I’ve ever been to!!

I have been pondering this a bit — bands that are uniquely able to capture “modern rural”. By modern I mean possibly dependent on history for context, but not necessarily subject matter.

I think the Bottlerockets do in a big way, and also their spiritual nephew Drive by Truckers. As Corb Lund reminded me the other day, to paraphrase: early Drive by Truckers gives zero effs about your feelings.
