Cobb will "Keep 'Em On They Toes"
Produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchie, Bon Iver, Hiss Golden Messenger), the album features 10 new songs including the title track, which was written by Cobb and his wife Layne and is debuting today. The song's video, which was directed by Christian Hansen, is available as well.
Of the song, Cobb said, "To try and not infiltrate the listener's spirit's own interpretation of 'Keep 'Em On They Toes,' I'll just say that it was initially inspired by the birth of my son. With that said, it's a mantra that I live by. One that I hope anyone could live by. That mantra is, if it's good for your own heart, and you got a good heart, do it. Do it whether folks see it coming or not. Live your own life. Be happy."
"Keep 'Em On They Toes" was created after Cobb moved back to his home state of Georgia after several years between Nashville and Los Angeles a decision that greatly influenced his songwriting.
"To me, listening to this album feels like I'm sitting there with somebody, having a conversation," Cobb said. "I would hope that it feels like sitting with an old friend you haven't seen in a while. There's nothing like being alone and listening to an album that is quiet and conversational - like those old records by Jerry Lee Lewis, Roger Miller, or Willie Nelson. I hope my music is that way to somebody now."
The new album release follows 2018's "Providence Canyon" and 2016's "Shine On Rainy Day."
The track list is:
1. Keep 'Em On They Toes
2. Shut Up And Sing
3. Good Times And Good Love
4. Sometimes I'm A Clown
5. This Side Of The River
6. Dust Under My Rug
