Coleman Jennings has signed a record deal with Big Loud Texas and Mercury Records.

Jennings combines Western folk, honky tonk, outlaw and Americana into his artistry, while also blending in elements of old time and bluegrass. His music often has whimsy lyrics, swift guitar playing and gritty vocals. Jennings was inspired by roots poet Blaze Foley to reach into country music, igniting his anti-establishment nature.

“I’m so excited to have Coleman Jennings join the Big Loud and Mercury Records families,” says Wes Donehower, SVP of A&R, Big Loud Records and Mercury Records. “Coleman is a special young artist with an old soul and a lot to say. The music he and Dave have made is incredible and we’re looking forward to being a part of his team for years to come.”

His major label debut “Head Spinning” is out today (Sept. 19). The track, solo-penned by him, showcases an emotional rush over the sound of rock. The track is the second song Jennings ever wrote, and was produced by Dave Cobb.

“I was always scared of the whole record deal thing, but Big Loud Texas and Mercury made me feel understood,” shares Jennings. “They are good people who want to serve the artist, and they allowed me the opportunity to make the record I’d always dreamed of with Dave Cobb. The first single, ‘Head Spinning,’ is just the beginning of what I think will be a unique album. Huge thanks to Dave and the whole Big Loud / Mercury Team.”

“’Head Spinning’ takes me on a trip down classic vinyl memory lane,” adds Big Loud Texas Co-Founder / President of A&R Jon Randall. “I cannot wait for fans to hear this. We are so honored that Coleman has allowed Big Loud Texas to be a part of his journey.”

Jennings performed at AmericanaFest last week as part of Big Loud’s Skydeck takeover. Tonight (Sept. 19) he will join Charles Wesley Godwin at White Oak Music Hall in Houston, followed by shows with Ray Wylie Hubbard and William Clark Green.
