Jason Eady Shares New Song THE CLIMB From New Album I TRAVEL ON Out August 10

On August 10, the Mississippi-bred singer & guitarist Jason Eady returns with a new album I Travel On. The album is his first to be recorded with his ace touring band who have been relentlessly touring behind Eady's critically acclaimed self-titled album that was released in 2017. GRAMMY-nominated musicians Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley accompanied Eady, his bandmates and wife Courtney Patton to round out the lineup that would execute the live, single-take sessions.

Today, Eady released "The Climb," the third track to be released from the forthcoming album. Wide Open Country's Thomas Mooney said, "They take their cues from one another seamlessly for a spontaneous feel that's organic and robust. Eady and company recorded the 11-tracked I Travel On with only acoustic instruments with single-take sessions giving it a natural and easy groove-laden texture."

"Anything you start out on, it's to conquer it. That's always the objective," Eady stated in an interview with Wide Open Country. "But as you get into it, you realize the journey is the fun part. That's the whole point. You may not get to the end. You may end up taking a detour and getting somewhere else."

Recently, Eady released "Always a Woman" alongside an interview with Billboard.

Noisey premiered the album opener "Calaveras County" and described the album as having "...a cohesive sound that feels weighted with meaning" while Rolling Stone Country named it one of the Top 10 Country & Americana Songs of the Week.

With his catalog spanning from blues-infused Americana to bare-bones reimagining of classic country, Eady's seventh full-length takes on a looser, livelier, more groove-driven sound than ever before. But while I Travel On brims with a feel-good spontaneity, the Fort Worth-based artist continues to instill each song with the subtle insight and emotional depth that makes his music so powerful.

In another departure from his previous work, Eady wrote most of I Travel On in a month-long burst of creativity. "Normally I take my pick of the songs I've come up with since the last album, but this time I was writing specifically for this record," he says. "And because the album's so groove-centered, I focused on the way words rolled off the tongue and how they moved with the music. If something felt good to sing, I just let it be instead of going back and editing myself like I might've done in the past."

Eady's self-titled 2017 release was embraced by Rolling Stone, Wide Open Country,Saving Country Music and Noisey, who called the album "A self-titled 10-song collection of classic, heart-wrenching, delicate country."
