NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 17, 2024) – Nashville recording artist and neo-traditional country singer-songwriter Whey Jennings will release his first-ever duet featuring Charity Bowden (Sweet Tea Trio) on an instant classic modern day cowboy meets cowgirl country love ballad, “Girl On A Fast Horse,” [pre-save/pre-add] available everywhere digitally July 19 by Dirt Rock Empire.

In an exclusive premiere today by Cowboys & Indians Magazine [click to watch/read], fans can catch a sneak peak of the music video that was shot on-location at a private Tennessee ranch, and also features a cameo by Charity Bowden. Jennings co-wrote the song with David Wade, Shane Grove, and Taylor Hughes, and it was produced by Gary Carter (Marty Stuart, Faith Hill). Showing the musical depth and range of the album overall, “Girl On A Fast Horse” also functions as a throwback reminder of Whey’s pre-musician roots, where he worked on a farm and ranch in West Texas before deciding to pursue music as his life’s calling.

“This is a beautiful cowboy love song that I wrote with my pals Shane Grove, Taylor Hughes and David Wade,” Jennings said. “It’s the perfect song to describe the way any young man feels when he first discovers or is in pursuit of the one.”

Jennings has released three other singles from his debut album Jekyll & Hyde, the country rocking title track (April 12), the sentimental “One Of These Days” (May 10), and the highway burning “10 Day Run” (June 12). Hailed by Billboard, People Magazine, Men’s Journal, and one of SavingCountryMusic.com’s most anticipated albums of 2024, Jekyll & Hyde is due out August 23, 2024 by Dirt Rock Empire. “Jekyll & Hyde” was previously featured in Apple Music’s New In Americana editorial playlist and its music video can now be watched on The Heartland Network, American Country Network, and Canyon Star TV.

Whey was also selected to participate in the sixth annual Mobilize Recovery Across America 2024, a fifteen city nationwide bus tour launching on September 20 in Los Angeles, coordinated by 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Mobilize Recovery. Mobilize Recovery brings together a diverse cross-sector cohort of advocates, allies, and stakeholders to drive measurable, sustainable, and action-oriented solutions that create resilient communities of recovery. Whey is scheduled to make appearances and share his story and music on September 24 in Las Vegas [click to register], followed by October 08 in Richmond, Virginia [click to register]. Jennings’ songs and his own recovery story will also be part of Mobilize Recovery’s PSA campaign in partnership with Meta and iHeartMedia. Further announcements and additional tour details are at MobilizeRecovery.org.

“I believe what we’re doing is powerful and I believe it’s going to change lives,” Jennings said. “I want to be an entertainer, but I also want to be somebody who makes you think about not only who you are, but who everyone around you is, and how to make this world a better place. I want people to feel my music.”

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.
