Reflecting on the creation of the album, Bingham expresses, “This album was probably the most fun I’ve had making a record. I’ve always loved records that feel loose and live and gritty with a bit of soul, where the imperfections from the moment are left in. Working with musicians as talented as The Texas Gentlemen really let us lean into that in a way I hadn’t experienced before. There was an unspoken understanding between us about what each song needed, so we tracked most of it live with minimal overdubs, just playing and letting the feel lead. It finally felt like I was capturing these songs the way I always heard them in my head. We can’t wait to get out on the road and share them with fans.”
The upcoming “Still Gettin’ Away With It Tour” will showcase both Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen, providing an opportunity for fans to experience the new music live.
