Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.

Turnpike Troubadours released a new version of Bobby Darin’s 1969 song, “Me & Mr. Hohner,” as part of Amzon Music’s “Amazon Originals” series. Stream/purchase exclusively on Amazon Music HERE.

Produced by Wes Sharon and recorded at 115 Recording in Norman, OK, the release follows the band’s latest full-length album, A Cat in the Rain, which was released last summer via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers (stream/purchase here). Produced by Shooter Jennings, the record landed on several “Best of” lists including Rolling Stone, The AV Club, Brooklyn Vegan, No Depression, Wide Open Country, Whiskey Riff and more. Of the record, the Associated Press praises, “they’ve returned with the kind of ferocity that feels destined to put them right back on that long-term upward trajectory…The earnestness is palpable,” while Billboard declares, “conveys the group’s superior, tightly-knit musicianship and ever maturing, evocative lyricism” and Spin proclaims, “the Oklahoma group is better than ever…one of the most beloved groups in country and roots music.”

Known for their electric live shows, Turnpike Troubadours are in the midst of a busy summer on the road, including upcoming stops at New Braunfels’ Whitewater Amphitheater (two nights), the GoldenSky Festival in Sacramento and more. Additionally, the band joined Zach Bryan on select dates of his stadium tour earlier this year. Check out the complete tour itinerary below.
