Tornillo

For genre-bending band Whiskey Myers, 2019's self-titled and self-produced album offered a watershed moment. With Rolling Stone declaring them "the new torch bearers for Southern music" in a story titled "How Whiskey Myers Won Over Mick Jagger and Made the Album of Their Career;" and the project debuting atop both the Country and Americana album charts, the band celebrated mainstream success a decade in the making.

Now, after spending 21 days isolated at the 2,300-acre Sonic Ranch studio deep in the heart of their native Texas, just miles from the U.S./Mexico border, the Gold-certified renegades have doubled down on what they do best: sharing honest truths with no-holds-barred instrumentation, letting the self-produced music speak for itself. Yet with Tornillo, named for the border town that is home to the pecan orchard-filled recording complex, the six-piece band has taken their solid decade-plus foundation and pushed themself to further explore new sonic landscapes.
