We compiled a list of 4 fun-facts you need to know about the forthcoming new album below.
To Pay Tribute To Late Country Icon John Prine
The project includes a tribute song to the late John Prine. Keith takes on the Prine/John Mellencamp co-penned track, “Take A Look At My Heart,” a track that appears on Prine’s tenth studio album, The Missing Years (1991), and originally features superstar Bruce Springsteen.
Maren Morris & Ryan Hurd Wrote One Of The Songs
One of the already released tracks, “Old School,” was co-written by Maren Morris, Ryan Hurd and Brett Tyler. The song earned Keith his highest charting debut of his career on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
“When I first heard the demo, it reminded me of Steve Miller,” Keith recalled of the track. “But it had a little bit of a rap to it – not unlike the can of worms I opened years ago with ‘I Wanna Talk About Me.’ Then it’s got the coolest melodic waterfall and I was like, ‘Yeah, I gotta cut this.’”
4 Tracks Are Self-Penned
“Happy Birthday America,” “She’s Drinkin’ Again,” “Thunderbird” and the title track “Peso In My Pocket” were self-penned by Keith.
First New Album In Six Years
Peso In My Pocket marks Keith’s first new album since the release of 2015’s 35 MPH Town.
