Ryan Bingham will release They Call Us The Lucky Ones, his highly anticipated new album with The Texas Gentlemen, May 15 via The Bingham Recording Co./Thirty Tigers (pre-order/pre-save HERE). Ahead of the release, his new song, “Ballad of The Texas Gentlemen,” is out today and can be heard below…
Of the track, Bingham shares, “After years of being out on my own and playing shows on and off with The Texas Gentlemen, I realized somewhere along the way I was part of a band again without really planning it. ‘Ballad of The Texas Gentlemen’ really came out of that moment – just being back out on the road with people you trust and remembering why you fell in love with playing music in the first place.”
“This album was probably the most fun I’ve had making a record,” Bingham reflects. “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.”
In celebration of the new music, Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen will embark on their extensive “Still Gettin’ Away With It Tour” this spring, including newly confirmed stops at New York’s Irving Plaza, Boston’s Roadrunner, Philadelphia’s The Fillmore, Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Theatre and Pittsburgh’s Stage AE among many others. See below for complete tour itinerary. Tickets for the new dates will be available for pre-sale starting tomorrow, February 18 at 10:00am local time, with general on-sale following this Friday, February 20 at 10:00am local time. Full details can be found at www.ryanbingham.com.
