Cody Johnson Announces Third Studio Album ‘Leather’

Cody Johnson is set to release his third studio album Leather on Nov. 3 via COJO Music / Warner Music Nashville.

To celebrate the announce, Johnson has released brand-new tracks “Work Boots” written by Jason Afable, Brett Beavers and Canaan Smith, and “Watching My Old Flame Go Out” by Kat Higgins, Wynn Varble and Clint Daniels. Both songs appear on Leather, which was produced by Trent Willmon.

“This round of songs, I have to say, is the best round of songs I have ever recorded and I feel like that’s the way it should be,” Johnson says. “Each album should outdo the last one.”

Johnson’s current single, “The Painter,” was the most-added song in the nation in its debut week on the charts, launching with the biggest add date of his career with 73 stations jumping to put the song on air. “The Painter” is the follow up to Johnson’s career-making, double Platinum-selling and Grammy-winning, two-week No. 1 hit “’Til You Can’t,” and the top-five smash “Human.”

Fans can pre-order the 12-track record now.
