Description
Traditional country artist Joshua Hedley will release his second album, “Neon Blue,” on April 22 via New West Records.
The 12-song set was co-produced by Jordan Lehning (Rodney Crowell) and Skylar Wilson (Justin Townes Earle) and mixed by Kyle Lehning (George Strait, Randy Travis). “Neon Blue” is the follow up to his 2018 debut “Mr. Jukebox, “which was released by Jack White’s Third Man Records. Hedley’s mentors were George Jones, Ray Price and Glen Campbell, while “Neon Blue” examines the early 1990s. Joshua Hedley has made a name for himself by keeping the history and sound of true country music alive through his music, both as a performer and as a recording artist, releasing his debut album Mr. Jukebox in 2018.
Mr. Jukebox was very much a classic, neotraditional effort by Mr. Hedley, hearkening back to the Golden Era of country music indicative of the 50’s and early 60’s, and the Countrypolitan sound. But for his next trick, he’s moving things up a few decades, and is working to revitalize the country sounds of the late 80’s and early 90’s that are making a retro resurgence at the moment.
