When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in the summer of 2015 to stunned acclaim, it felt like an entire career compressed into one knock-out album. Hailed as a “mind-blowingly good” (Greg Vandy, KEXP) “tutorial on classic country music” (Popmatters), Pinnell’s debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. Dogged touring through Europe and the states and celebrated radio sessions followed, cementing Pinnell’s position as a no-fuss master of his craft. His 2017 album Ties of Blood and Affection presents a canny lateral move. Instead of doubling down on the stark themes and values of his debut, this sophomore album finds Pinnell finding comfort in his own skin and achieving the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs. While “If life don’t get any better / I’m alright with this” isn’t an out-right triumph, it’s an honest revelation. "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 In January of 2021, after announcing the upcoming release of a third studio album recorded by Jonathan Tyler, Pinnell released his cover of the Concrete Blonde classic "Joey". ROLLING STONE called it "a country dirge mournful enough to make Townes Van Zandt cry". "Goodbye LA", Pinnell's third studio record was released October 1st, 2021 via SofaBurn Records.
