Alt-country rockers Whiskey Myers have announced their next studio album. Tornillo will follow up their critically acclaimed, self-titled album from 2019.
To celebrate the announcement, Whiskey Myers shared a new song called “John Wayne” on all digital streaming providers. A funky guitar line introduces the track before organ and a full-throated harmonica take listeners to the first verse.
The tempo and outlaw message make this track perfect for their live show, or perhaps a fight scene on Yellowstone, where so much of their music has been featured previously.
Singer Cody Cannon wrote or co-wrote 9 of the 12 new songs on Tornillo (available July 29), with the others being an instrumental called “Tornillo” and “Whole World Gone Crazy” and “Heavy on Me,” credited to guitarist John Jeffers.
The band collective produced an album that was recorded at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, just along the Rio Grande. The studio is a favorite for artists looking for a new sound or influence on a project. Midland recently used it to cut The Sonic Ranch album. In 2016, Frankie Ballard released El Rio, also recorded at Sonic Ranch.
See the full tracklist below. Whiskey Myers have a heavy tour scheduled through the summer, and then will headline their Firewater Music Festival from Sept. 29-Oct. 1.

PICS: See Inside the Historic Texas Ranch Where the New ‘Yellowstone: 6666’ Spinoff Is Filmed
The massive, historic Texas ranch where the new Yellowstone spinoff Yellowstone: 6666 is filming has sold for just under $200 million, and pictures show a property that is truly part of Texas history.
The 6666 Ranch — better-known as the Four Sixes Ranch — in Guthrie, Texas, dates back to 1870. The ranch centers around a 13-bedroom, 13-bathroom, 13,280-square-foot main residence, which is constructed of quarry rock that was hauled to Guthrie by wagon. The ranch also includes vast, sweeping fenced pastures, farmland, fenced-in pens for cattle, a more recent addition for horses, a water filtration plant that serves the ranch’s water needs and more.
There are separate camp manager’s homes in both the North Camp and the South Camp of the ranch, which encompasses nearly 225 square miles of land. Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is part of a group of investors who recently acquired the property for $192 million, and he has been shooting his new show out there in recent months.
