Jim Lauderdale Slates New Album ‘Game Changer’ For August

Jim Lauderdale is releasing a new album, Game Changer, on Aug. 26. The project is Lauderdale’s 35th full-length album, and he’s kicking off the project with the release of  “That Kind Of Life (That Kind Of Day),” out now.

Operating under his own label, Sky Crunch Records, for the first time since 2016, Lauderdale recorded Game Changer at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, co-producing the release with Jay Weaver.

The album features tracks such as “We’re All We’ve Got,” a co-write with Mary Gauthier and Jaimee Harris, offering a message about healing torn relationships. “Friends Again” brings a smile at the thought of rekindling a friendship, while “I’ll Keep My Heart Open For You,” features sweet harmonies.

“There’s a mixture on this record of uplifting songs and, at the same time, songs of heartbreak and despair—because that’s part of life as well,” Lauderdale says. “In the country song world especially, that’s always been part of it. That’s real life. Country music is constantly evolving, but I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for steel guitar and a Telecaster. I have done my job on this record if people who love classic country feel like they can put it on, or have it in their collection, and it would fit right in.”

Along with the new project, Lauderdale has also just been named a 2022 nominee for the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
