Today, Turnpike Troubadours debut a special rendition of Robert Earl Keen's wonderful song "Feelin' Good Again" featuring guest singer-mandolin player Sierra Hull.


In conjunction with the release, a powerful new music video is out today, featuring Keen and NFL star Christian McCaffrey. Directed by Cameron Gott, the video tells the story of people rediscovering themselves, capturing the hardships, quiet resilience and small moments of hope that shape their journeys. Watch/share HERE.   


“Robert Earl Keen has always been a kind of creative North Star for me since I can remember,” lead singer Evan Felker shares. “He is as much Tom Waits as he is Marty Robbins as he is John Steinbeck. I don’t know where I would be without his music. He is my hero and this is my favorite song.”

The release adds to another landmark year for Turnpike Troubadours, who are nominated for Duo/Group of the Year at the 2026 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards and will continue their extensive headline tour through the fall. Upcoming stops include Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater, Charleston’s Firefly Distillery, St. Augustine’s St. Augustine Amphitheatre, Raleigh’s The Red Hat Amphitheater and Fresno’s Save Mart Center among many others. See below for complete tour itinerary. Full details can be found at www.turnpiketroubadours.com/tour.


The tour follows the release of the band’s acclaimed album, The Price of Admission, which was surprise-released last spring via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers (stream/purchase here). Produced by Shooter Jennings, the record debuted at #1 on the iTunes all-genre and country charts, as well as the Billboard Digital Albums and Current Digital Albums Sales charts, further cementing the band as an undeniable force. Released to widespread acclaim, Rolling Stone praises, “with Red Dirt as a genre enjoying its greatest popularity…The Price of Admission serves as a reminder that Turnpike is still the genre’s torchbearer,” while Spin calls them “a leading force in the gritty, authentic ‘Red Dirt’ country genre” and Whiskey Riff declares, “Turnpike Troubadours have continued to prove time and time again that they are the greatest band of all time.” 


Throughout their renowned career, Turnpike Troubadours has amassed a massive following with more than 2.2 billion streams globally and over 1.7 million equivalent units sold to date. The band was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, appeared in the penultimate episode of Yellowstone performing three songs (“Good Lord Lorrie,” “Brought Me” and “Pay No Rent”) and has become a recurring presence in Paramount’s Landman, with eight songs featured to date.  



Since their 2005 debut, Turnpike Troubadours has released six studio albums including 2023’s A Cat in the Rain. TheAssociated Press praised, “they’ve returned with the kind of ferocity that feels destined to put them right back on that long-term upward trajectory…The earnestness is palpable,” while Spin proclaimed, “the Oklahoma group is better than ever…one of the most beloved groups in country and roots music.” Originally from Tahlequah, OK, Turnpike Troubadours is Evan Felker (vocals, guitar), Kyle Nix (fiddle), Ryan Engleman (electric guitar), RC Edwards (bass), Gabe Pearson (drums) and Hank Early (steel, accordion).

Craft Recordings announces vinyl reissues for three defining Whitesnake classics

Craft Recordings Announces Vinyl Reissues for Three Defining Whitesnake Classic Albums


The multi-Platinum albums Slide It InWhitesnake, and Slip of the Tongue will return to vinyl on September 18, 2026 in their original U.S. formats, alongside limited-edition collector pressings

 

Featuring enduring hard rock anthems “Here I Go Again,” “Is This Love,”

“Still of the Night,” “Fool for Your Loving,” and more




In the mid- to late 1980s, Whitesnake exploded from a popular British hard rock band into a worldwide phenomenon, becoming one of the decade's most successful rock acts. This fall, Craft Recordings revisits that landmark period with vinyl reissues of Slide It In (1984), Whitesnake (1987), and Slip of the Tongue (1989). Powered by hits including “Here I Go Again,” “Is This Love,” “Still of the Night,” and “Fool for Your Loving,” the David Coverdale-led group’s run of multi-Platinum albums helped define the sound and spectacle of ’80s hard rock.

 



Arriving September 18, the titles return to vinyl in their original U.S. 1-LP configurations. Alongside the wide release on standard black vinyl, exclusive color pressings include the self-titled Whitesnake on “Tan Smoke” (via Walmart) and “Stone Marble” (Revolver). Fans can also find Whitesnake on limited-edition “Gold Black Ice,” alongside Slide It In on “Onyx” and Slip of the Tongue on “Crimson Moon,” exclusively via CraftRecordings.com. All three albums are available to pre-order and stream today.

Founded in 1978 by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee David Coverdale, Whitesnake was the next chapter in a career that had already brought him international acclaim as the frontman of Deep Purple. After appearing on the influential Deep Purple albums BurnStormbringer, and Come Taste the Band, Coverdale formed Whitesnake to pursue his own songwriting vision. While the band's earliest work was rooted in blues, soul, and classic British rock, later Whitesnake albums paired those influences with bigger hooks, a heavier guitar-driven sound, and arena-rock scale, propelling the band to worldwide success.

 

That evolution comes into sharp focus with 1984’s Slide It In, the album that pushed Whitesnake’s blues-rock foundation toward a leaner, more radio-ready hard rock sound. Powered by “Love Ain’t No Stranger,” “Slow an’ Easy,” and the swaggering title track, the album retained the grit and swing of the band’s earlier work while pointing clearly toward the bigger hooks and heightened production that would soon define the band’s international breakthrough. It became Whitesnake’s first U.S. Top 40 release and later achieved double-Platinum certification in the U.S.

If Slide It In opened the door, 1987’s self-titled Whitesnake kicked it off its hinges. Often referred to simply as 1987, the album transformed the band into international superstars with “Here I Go Again,” “Is This Love,” and “Still of the Night.” A reimagined version of a song first released in 1982, “Here I Go Again” became the band’s signature hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100. The album peaked at No.2 on the Billboard 200, was certified 8x Platinum in the U.S., and yielded the No.2 Hot 100 hit “Is This Love.”

 

For the MTV generation, Whitesnake’s cinematic videos were central to the band’s rise, giving the songs a visual language as bold and polished as the records themselves. Among the most iconic was the video for “Here I Go Again,” featuring model and actress Tawny Kitaen, whose memorable appearance helped make it one of the defining music videos of the MTV era. Heavy rotation on the network helped introduce the band to millions of new fans worldwide, further elevating Whitesnake’s status as one of hard rock’s defining acts. Decades later, tracks like “Here I Go Again,” “Is This Love,” and “Still of the Night” remain staples of classic rock radio, streaming playlists, and concert stages around the world.

 

By 1989’s Slip of the Tongue, Whitesnake was firmly established on the world stage. Co-written by Coverdale and Adrian Vandenberg, the album took on a new dimension when Vandenberg was sidelined by a wrist injury and Steve Vai stepped in to record much of the guitar work. Featuring “Fool for Your Loving,” “The Deeper the Love,” and “Now You’re Gone,” Slip of the Tongue reached No.10 in both the U.S. and UK and earned Platinum certification in the States.

 

Together, Slide It InWhitesnake, and Slip of the Tongue capture a pivotal chapter in rock history, when blues-rock roots, stadium-sized spectacle, MTV-era image-making, and pop crossover instinct converged to create some of the era’s most enduring anthems. Collectively, the albums document David Coverdale’s evolution from respected British rock vocalist to international superstar and remain cornerstones of the hard rock canon.
