NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 23, 2024) – Nashville recording artist and neo-traditional country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings released his debut album today, Jekyll & Hyde, [stream/listen/buy] available digitally everywhere by Dirt Rock Empire. Hailed by Billboard, People Magazine, Cowboys & Indians, Men’s Journal, Rodeo Life Magazine and one of the most anticipated albums of 2024 by SavingCountryMusic.com, Jekyll & Hyde delivers a gauntlet of straightforward sonic country music gems which tells Jennings’ own heart-on-his-sleeves stories of hard work, love, honor, redemption, hope & patriotism. 

“Jekyll & Hyde is a look into the life I’ve led, from facing my inner demon to chasing the woman of my dreams, to recovering from drug addiction, and honoring our fallen soldiers,” Jennings said. “This album is 100% me, and I’m 100% proud of this body of work!”

The album’s most recent focus track “Sleeves” is a ballad which painfully calls attention to the current drug epidemic happening in America, where as the upbeat country rocker “Jekyll & Hyde” [revealed by SavingCountryMusic.com] tells Whey’s story of his metaphorical conflicting inner selves. The sentimental and self-reflective “One Of These Days” [Billboard.com’s must hear new country songs] sits you back down and makes you think about your own life’s path, while the highway burning working man’s tribute “10 Day Run” [premiered by People.com] gets you back up on your feet again with a wild and crazy tale about a woman’s scorn. Jennings also introduces his first duet with Charity Bowden on the bona-fide cowboy meets cowgirl love song “Girl On A Fast Horse” [premiered by Cowboys & Indians]. He also pays some much needed respect to our Gold Star Families and military veterans on the patriotic tune “One Folded.”

About Whey Jennings:
Country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings was born into one of country music’s most iconic family names, first emerging in 2012 as another naturally gifted singer from the Jennings tribe. With large boots to fill, the young Nashville recording artist and singer-songwriter for Dirt Rock Empire, 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 70’s, even with his own songs.

With three studio recorded EP releases under his belt, 2020’s Gypsy Soul, 2022’s If It Wasn’t for The Sinnin’, and 2023’s Just Before The Dawn, Jennings is now preparing for his magnum opus of songs, his first full length album, the highly anticipated Jekyll & Hyde, due out August 23, 2024. Many of Whey’s songs reveal stories of how he has come to terms with a checkered past of too much partying, led by a drug-fueled lifestyle, but knowing he needed to make a change. Musical stories about struggles, addiction, finding sobriety, and redemption through faith in God, family and his friends. Interjecting his own modern-day approach to songwriting and storytelling, while remaining a little rough around the edges, Whey’s unpolished grit and honest demeanor defines his sound, with musical roots that run as deep as his Jennings family name would imply.
