IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Photos and text from wire services record fell out of that, Cobb said.

One of the songs, “Do You Love Texas,” is an ode to the Lone Star State, and features a chorus of singers, including Kris Kristofferson, Kacey Musgraves, Ray Benson and more, shouting “Hell yeah!” The song was released as a charity single last year to raise money for Hurricane Harvey relief.

“We felt like it was the perfect opportunity to give something back to Texas, so we called everyone we knew and loved and got them to record phone message and send it in,” said Cobb.

He peppers the record with rollicking good time tunes, like “D.R.U.N.K.” and “Bound Ta Git Down,” in which Jennings tries his best Jerry Lee Lewis impression while he sings about playing with Guns n’ Roses at the age of 23 and living in the Hollywood Hills.

“Anything I write is going to be autobiographical and true to some degree,” Jennings said.

But there’s also the crying-in-yourbeer songs as well, such as “Living in a Minor Key,” a beautiful waltzy tribute to the late George Jones, and a love song for his wife Misty on “Rhinestone Eyes.”

“He’s made rock records. He’s made country records,” Cobb said. “But I think his sweet spot is the record we just made. That really sums up him a lot.”
