NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 17, 2023) – Country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings will release a pair of new holiday inspired songs, the first being a remake of Leonard Cohenâs Gospel Rocker, âHallelujahâ on Friday, November 17 by way of Dirt Rock Empire. Delivering what is sure to be called his own stamp on the hit song, one can easily sense and hear Jennings own personal praise and giving of thanks to God for his newfound life of sobriety.
âHallelujah is a song that saved my life and it continues to save my life everyday,â Jennings said. âIt has not only brought me closer to God, but it has also allowed me to bring others closer to God. I perform this song night after night at my shows. Hallelujah and Praise the Lord!”
Jennings will also roll out his version of the iconic Gospel standard âAmazing Graceâ just after the new year, which is due out on January 12 by Dirt Rock Empire. Both songs were recorded and produced in Nashville by Music Producer and composer Gary Carter at GC Music Studio Tennessee.Â
Jennings recently released his critically acclaimed third EP in September, Just Before The Dawn, also by Dirt Rock Empire and available now everywhere digitally. Finding salvation and redemption through his most personal, self-reflective and storyful set of songs, Jennings is proud of the project citing how he hopes the musical stories of his own lifeâs struggles and addictions can lead to delivering inspiration for anyone who may find themself in a similar situation.Â
âAt the end of the day, I want to be able to change peopleâs lives with my music,â Whey said. âThis EP gave me the ability to show people that you can change your life, with my lifeâs stories as the examples. I want to change lives, and that is what I hope for the most with this EP.â
About Whey Jennings:
Country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings was born into one of country musicâs most iconic family names, as he first emerged in 2012 as another naturally gifted singer from the Jennings tribe. With large boots to fill, the young Dirt Rock Empire recording artist with a booming baritone voice as big as Texas, finds himself with a few expectations to live up to. Seeking to establish his own musical legacy as one of the few remaining torch-bearing country traditionalists out there, Whey can instantly take his fans back to a time and sound his Grandfather Waylon and Grandmother Jessi gave birth to in the 70âs. Whey has two studio recorded EP releases under his belt, 2020âs Gypsy Soul and 2022âs If It Wasnât for The Sinninâ, both which revealed musical stories of how Whey was coming to terms with a partying lifestyle, knowing he needed to make a change. On his third EP, Just Before The Dawn, out September 22, 2023, Whey shares more stories about his struggles with addiction, finding sobriety, and redemption through faith, family and friends. Interjecting his own modern-day approach to songwriting and storytelling, while staying rough around the edges with an unpolished grit and honest demeanor, Wheyâs musical roots run as deep as his familyâs name would imply. Whey Jennings has only scratched the surface of what is still yet to come. As they say, what goes around comes around.
