Joshua Hedley has announced a new album titled All Hat, set for release on October 24 via New West. This marks his third album, following Neon Blue from 2022, with production by Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. The album features a collection of Western Swing tunes, with members of Asleep at the Wheel serving as Hedley's backing band. The first single is "Fresh Hot Biscuits," which Hedley wrote immediately before recording. Hedley will also embark on a tour in September across the Midwest and Texas.
"When I first heard Asleep at the Wheel and their Bob Wills tribute, it blew my mind that there was a band out there still playing this kind of music," Hedley says, adding, "At its core Western Swing is just dance music. Bob Wills didn't play theatres; he played dance halls. The music is for dancing, and that's what I wanted to come through on these songs."
"I wrote it the night before," Hedley says of the first single "Fresh Hot Biscuits." "I sat down and wrote it and thought it was pretty good, but when we recorded it the next day, it really came to life."
