Shooter Jennings has released his new song, "Denim & Diamonds." A song whose sound gives the listener the sense that it's been a classic for decades, "Denim & Diamonds" is a dark and smoky acoustic guitar and bass-driven paean to the late 80s/early 90s line dancing culture that thrived in dive clubs across the country and the people in his life who lived to go out and simply dance the night away. It was a scene he judged harshly while growing up, yet now looks back on with fondness as he reflects upon the carefree days of youth, wondering where the people who partied in these clubs are today.
"Denim & Diamonds" got its premiere today via The Fader, which wrote, "this is the kind of song you don't just roll out of bed and write, but have to kick around life for decades to figure out." It's the third single from Jennings' new album, SHOOTER, which arrives at all music retailers and streaming services via Low Country Sound and Elektra Records on Friday, August 10. The album was produced by longtime friend and collaborator, Low Country Sound founder Dave Cobb, at the renowned RCA Studio A on Nashville's Music Row.
