Just a few days after releasing the “Outlaws & Mustangs” music video, Cody Jinks has released another new song, “Change the Game.”
“Change the Game” is the title-track to Jinks’ upcoming new album, which will be released on March 22nd via his own label, Late August Records, in partnership with The Orchard.
Of the song, Jinks shares, “I remember playing the song ‘Change The Game’ for the first time in December of 2022 in Vegas, sixteen months before the ‘Change The Game’ record will be released. I think we’ve played it every show since! I love playing the song every night and I love the message I think people are getting from it.”
Listen to “Change the Game” below.
Produced by Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, ZZ Top) and Jinks’ longtime bassist, Joshua Thompson, Change The Game marks a new chapter for Jinks both personally and professionally, as he is now self-managed with a completely independent team. Across these twelve tracks, including previously “Outlaws & Mustangs” and “Sober Thing,” Jinks puts forth his signature outlaw country spirit with a new level of artistic maturity, as he delves into raw topics such as his journey with sobriety, the realities of life on the road and the need for redemption and accountability.
Reflecting on the project, Jinks shares, “This is the most open and honest record I’ve ever recorded, I laid everything out.”
Known for his electric live performances, Jinks will continue to tour through this fall including upcoming headline shows at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater, Los Angeles’ Greek Theater, Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion, Minneapolis’ The Armory and San Diego’s Rady Shell at Jacobs Park as well as select co-headline dates with Turnpike Troubadours. He will also join Luke Combs as part of his “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old” stadium tour starting this spring. See below for complete tour itinerary. Full details can be found at www.codyjinks.com.
