Backbeat Troubadours have signed with Big Machine Records.

The duo, consisting of Mark Collie and Billy Bob Thornton, has released their debut song, “True American Racer (500 Miles) (featuring Slash),” featured in the upcoming BOBBY RAHAL: TRUE AMERICAN RACER documentary.

“This has been one of those rare experiences where so many amazing things aligned all at the same time to create a truly unique musical moment,” says Big Machine Records Founder and Chairman Scott Borchetta. “Mark and Billy Bob have been creating music together for decades, but this is the first time that the world will get to hear them in their own unique element, and it’s going to blow people’s minds!”

“Mark and I are proud to be a part of the song and the Bobby Rahal story with Scott,” adds Thornton.

“True American Racer (500 Miles) (featuring Slash)” will also appear on the documentary’s accompanying album, BOBBY RAHAL: TRUE AMERICAN RACER, which features songs from Riley Green, Brothers Osborne, The Jack Wharff Band, Mackenzie Carpenter, Greylan James, Marfa, Cole Goodwin, Danielle Bradbery and Rascal Flatts and is scheduled for release in July.
