Toolpusher recording artist Jason Sturgeon just recently released his brand new single, “Angel Eyes,” and is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Boot Barn® and a brand new album, CORNFIELDS & COAL.
According to Sturgeon, the partnering is a natural fit. “I was born and raised in rural Indiana. The country way of life is all I’ve known, so getting involved with Boot Barn® was a ‘no brainer’ and with this partnership, we can bring even bigger and better things to the fans,” said Sturgeon.
Sturgeon, who released his brand new single, a remake of the Jeff Healey classic, “Angel Eyes,” on CMT.com, CMT Mobile and CMT Pure, found the single trending in the Top 5 on CMT.com the day of release and the video finished the week in the #5 spot overall!
The Indiana native’s small-town roots have always been a big part of who he is, and they definitely inspired several of the songs on this latest CD, CORNFIELDS & COAL From the first few strains of the nostalgic-feeling, Appalachian-tinged title track — a tribute to the coal-mining communities and the men who toil in the mines to earn their keep — Jason keys listeners in on a bit of what he stands for and who he is, singing about the flagpoles and steeples that faithfully keep watch over those cornfields and coal across the country.
On the edgy rocker “Lost Our Minds,” Jason voices many of the emotions Americans are currently feeling as they read the headlines and watch things slipping further and further out of control in today’s times, strains of frustration and dismay ring in every line as he seeks for answers to questions. Penned by Jason himself, the tune is a powerful, relevant wake-up call for today’s world.
Jason tackles an inconceivably difficult subject in “I Never Got To Be Your Dad,” channeling the unbearable pain of the loss of a child. The heartbreaking tune perfectly echoes a grief-stricken parent’s dull, constant ache when thinking about all the special moments he’ll never have with his child who passed away. Co-written with producer Greg Archilla, the ballad balances the CD’s grittier rockers perfectly and displays the country boy’s softer side.
The songs Sturgeon has compiled on this new record seem to reflect a newfound willingness to open up and reveal some deeper thoughts and feelings. He hopes his fans will enjoy the candor and spirit he’s bringing to his music this time around.
CORNFIELDS & COAL, is set for release on September 10th. The album is also available in more than 40 select Boot Barn stores across the United States, with special in-store performances and appearances to be announced in the near future.
