Description
The eighth studio album from the country music singer/songwriter. His long-awaited album Lifers marks his debut for Rounder, and is a creative leap forward for Jinks. The eleven original songs on the album tackle heady themes of faith ("Holy Water"); love, loss, and the desperate measures to which they sometimes drive people ("Must Be the Whiskey," "7th Floor," "Somewhere Between I Love You and I'm Leavin'," "Colorado"), loneliness, ("Desert Wind"), and the passage of time ("Stranger"). Lifers is the follow-up to his 2016 album I'm Not the Devil, which reached #4 on the Billboard's Country Albums chart.

Description
Lifers celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and pays tribute on its title track to the often-overlooked "lifers, the struggling strivers, working long after the day is done... the last of the great generation."

Opening with a punchy shot of spiritual thirst, "Holy Water," is laced with ringing steel guitar and female backing vocals. The set wraps up with two honest self-examining confessionals on "Stranger" and "Head Case." In between he tips his hat to the dedication and struggles of hard-working folks on "Lifers," travels through a haunting western landscape on "Western Wind," a place and love he left behind on "Colorado," and examines his musical journey and drive to pursue it on the zesty two-stepper "Can't Quit Enough." "Somewhere Between I Love You and I'm Leavin'" skillfully balances on the edge between heartbreak and desire, while "Big Last Name" and "7th Floor" tell the tales of two markedly different romantic quests.

The music throughout is a muscular brand of deeply-rooted American music with a modern edge interspersed with moments of emotive delicacy and widescreen majesty. It's rich with Jinks' gift for "blending an innate knack for hooks with the DGAF attitude suited for a rebel," as Rolling Stone describes his creative approach.

Jinks is proud of how as a musical "lifer" he has forged his way to stardom on his own terms. "What is success if you can't wake up everyday being who you really are?" he concludes. "It makes complete sense that I'm at this place in my life. Country music found me when I was young and chased me down as I grew older."
