For those unaware, years before releasing OH/KY — a debut album built on the borderline between Rust Belt roots music and raw, unflinching country — Jeremy Pinnell grew up within reach of the Ohio River, listening to a musical soundtrack as broad as midwestern skies.

Merle Haggard. Concrete Blonde. Tom Petty. AC/DC. Those artists were on repeat, mixing with the gospel hymns he sang in church, influencing the ever-evolving songwriting that would eventually take him far beyond Kentucky.

Four albums later, Pinnell digs deep into those hook-heavy beginnings with Decades (releasing via Sofaburn Records on October 31st, 2025). It’s the most melodic album of his acclaimed career, produced by two-time GRAMMY winner Shooter Jennings and influenced by the radio-friendly choruses he heard as a teenager.

I love hooks, Pinnell says unapologetically. I love big, melodic songs that talk about serious things. That’s what I wanted to do with Decades: share intimate observations about myself and others in a hooky, positive way. I wanted it to be personal, but I also wanted it to be fun.

With Decades showcasing a shift in Jeremy’s musical direction, pushing beyond traditional country to explore new sounds and genres, he opens the new recording on the gently crawled Barabbas and the upbeat and rhythmically generous Too Much Sugar and they are backed by the melodious Save You, the wistful Standing Still, and the free flowing, easy going Stuck In The Rain.

Then we are brought forth an impassioned yearn within Set Me Free which is in turn backed by the countrified twang of Dallas, the laid low Come Home To Me, the dutifully impassioned new set rounding out on the rousing We’ve Been Wrong, coming to a close on another countrified ambiance, this time within the stirring Pink Champagne.
