The self-titled debut album features ten tracks that blend fresh original music with classic Bakersfield Sound influences, including six originals written by band members and four covers of their biggest musical influences.

It represents the return of original Bakersfield Sound country music on vinyl, continuing the tradition of the legendary local Tally Records label that first recorded Merle Haggard, and solidifies the band's identity after a year-long recording process.

Recording took place from mid-December 2024 to July 2025 primarily at Ecco-Fonic Studio in Northridge, CA under Deke Dickerson, with additional sessions in Oklahoma City and Norman, OK. Mixing and mastering were done by Deke Dickerson and Kyle Appleton of Appleton Productions.

The six-piece band includes rhythm guitarist, lead vocalist, and fiddler Zane Adamo, who wrote two originals, and lead guitarist Ben McCarthy, who wrote two originals. The album was produced under the direction of SoCal traditional Country & Western guru Deke Dickerson.

The album release party is scheduled for Saturday, December 13 at the Fairfax Grange 570 Dance Hall, where the band will perform all songs from the new album plus favorites by classic artists.
