Honky Tonks and Country Songs - The 11th Album by American Country Star Joe Nichols,,,

Joe Nichols has released his latest album, Honky Tonks and Country Songs, out now via Quartz Hill Records.

The first single from the project, “Better Than You,” has been a top five most-added song at country radio (Mediabase) for four consecutive weeks, including one week before the track’s official impact date. The emotionally charged duet with rising country star Annie Bosko is about love at first sight, your last first kiss and realizing nothing else could compare with the feeling you’ve found.

Other tracks from the new project include “Doin’ Life With You,” “Bottle It Up,” “Helpless in a Honky Tonk,” “Hard Fires” and a cover of  the Hank Williams Jr. classic “Country Boy Can Survive,” which has become a fan-favorite at Nichols’ shows.

“My favorite thing about making this new album was, I think my voice is in good shape right now—the best shape it’s been in years,” Nichols says. “In the studio, I think I sounded more true to me, and how I started, than I have in several records. And I knew we had some good country songs, like ‘Doin’ Life With You,’ ‘Bottle It Up’ and several of the country-er things on this record, like ‘Helpless in a Honky Tonk’ and ‘Honky Tonks and Country Songs.’ I just felt like we could lay back and lay down some of those ‘old-school me’ vocals.”

Last week Nichols launched his long-awaited new record at Gilley’s Dallas, headlining the celebration to mark the world-famous honky tonk’s 21st anniversary.
