Whiskey Myers Tornillo Vinyl 2LP
 
After spending 21 days isolated at the 2,300-acre Sonic Ranch studio deep in the heart of their native Texas, just miles from the U.S./Mexico border, the Gold-certified renegades have doubled down on what they do best: sharing honest truths with no-holds-barred instrumentation, letting the self-produced music speak for itself.
 
Yet with Tornillo, named for the border town that is home to the pecan orchard-filled recording complex, the six-piece band has taken their solid decade-plus foundation and pushed themself to further explore new sonic landscapes.
 
"It's going to have a little bit different sound," lead singer Cody Cannon shared with Outsider. "It's still Whiskey Myers at its core, but it's kind of fresh... We did a lot of bass and horns on this one, which is something we've always wanted to do.
 
Just being fans of all that old music and Motown stuff, and a lot of the stuff coming out of Muscle Shoals, old rock and roll. We're going to bend [genre] even more, I think, with this new record. It's all over the place."
 
Tornillo as a whole does exactly that, drawing as much inspiration from Nirvana as from Waylon Jennings – even adding the legendary McCrary Sisters' gospel influence to the project on background vocals. With Cannon leading the way on songwriting, the album also features writes from lead guitarist John Jeffers and fellow bandmembers Jamey Gleaves and Tony Kent, as well as rising singer/songwriter Aaron Raitiere (Anderson East, Oak Ridge Boys, A Star is Born).
