Coming SOON.
This morning, Cody Jinks announced that he’s re-releasing his fan-favorite 2012 album 30, after having it remastered by Adam Grover and remixed by Nick Choate, in a project called Backside of 30.
30 was originally recorded at Rosewood Studios in Tyler, TX and Blue Smoke Studios in Ft. Worth, TX, and encapsulates Jinks’ Texas roots and highlights his signature southern sound. He says it was a special project and “big step” for his writing and he wanted to give it new life over 12 years later:
“I really love the 30 album, I feel like it was a big step up for me in my writing and it was time to remaster, add a new one, and re-release.”
Backside of 30 will be out September 27th, and features all of the original songs, as well as a new one called “When the New Wears Off,” which was produced by Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, ZZ Top) along with Jinks’ longtime bassist Joshua Thompson.
Of course, Cody put out a great album called Change The Game earlier this year, and even though new music is always super exciting, I think fans will be intrigued to hear the 30 tracklist kicked up a notch with a more professional production and mix this time around.
I’m a firm believer that a good song is a good song no matter what decade you hear it in, and seeing as Jinks is one of the most talented artists in the world of both independent and mainstream country, his timeless song will be as relevant as ever in 2024.
Plus, when an album is as important to an artist as 30 is to Jinks, it’s easy to see why he wanted to go back and make these songs even better and tweak it exactly how he wanted it after years of experience and honing his craft.
And as a fan, I’m certainly looking forward to hearing them.
