Big Loud Texas signs Worthington

Sunday, October 6, 2024 – Jake Worthington signed a deal with Big Loud Texas, it was announced Saturday by label co-founder Miranda Lambert at her inaugural MuttNation Music for Mutts benefit concert in Nashville.

The traditional country singer from La Porte, Texas, Worthington had been on Big Loud Records. He released an EP for the label last year.

"I'm really proud to say, I get to announce this from stage tonight," Lambert said. "I'm a co-founder of a new label called Big Loud Texas, and our sole job is to keep the outlaw movement going and to keep the great stuff from the great state of Texas out there for the people. And as of last week, we got one of my favorite artists of all time on our label. I want y'all to welcome back to the stage my friend Jake Worthington. Did y'all hear him earlier? He is country as a biscuit, and I love it."

"I've been both Big Loud and Texas through and true for a while now, so it sure feels good to make it official like this," Worthington said.

Earlier this month in an interview with Texas Monthly, Worthington said, "It's really cool to see a label go up in Austin. I think it's even cooler that somebody like Miranda and Jon are on the forefront of that. I hear them old glory days stories (about) when there used to be some players in the game — labels in Texas. It's really great for our music. It's going to give a lot of songwriters and singers a new avenue. And it's great for the state of Texas."

"No words can describe my excitement of having Jake Worthington on the Big Loud Texas team. Every time I hear him sing, I'm reminded of why I fell in love with country music in the first place," Big Loud Texas Co-Founder and President of A&R Jon Randall said. "Grab a six pack and hang on, it's about to get real."

Worthington and Lambert just released down-on-your-luck duet "Hello Shitty Day."

Credit Texas native Jake Worthington with adherence to tradition. His deep voice resonates best on ballads such as "State You Left Me In" as his voice conveys the anguished heartbreak he sings about. The production has the predictable elements – pedal steel, fiddle, electric guitars but might be just a tad too dense. Yet, quibble aside, it is the ballad fare where Worthington shines best such as "She Ain't You," a classic country, pedal steel driven slow dancer ...
