Whey Jennings’ debut album, Jekyll & Hyde, released on Friday by Dirt Rock Empire, has made an immediate impact on the music charts. The album debuted at #10 on iTunes’ Top 40 US Country Albums chart, #7 on iTopChart’s Top Country Music Album chart, and #39 on PopVortex’s iTunes Top 100 Albums chart.
Jekyll & Hyde has garnered widespread acclaim, being hailed by notable publications such as Billboard, People Magazine, Forbes, Cowboys & Indians, Men’s Journal, and Rodeo Life Magazine. It has also been recognized as one of the most anticipated albums of 2024 by SavingCountryMusic.com. The album delivers a collection of raw and authentic country tracks, each telling Jennings’ deeply personal stories of struggle, love, redemption, and patriotism.
In describing the album, Jennings said, “Jekyll & Hyde is a look into the life I’ve led, from facing my inner demons to chasing the woman of my dreams, to recovering from drug addiction, and honoring our fallen soldiers. This album is 100% me, and I’m 100% proud of this body of work!”
The album’s current focus track, “Sleeves,” is a poignant ballad that addresses the devastating drug epidemic in America. Meanwhile, the title track, “Jekyll & Hyde,” showcases Jennings’ internal battle with his conflicting selves, delivering a high-energy country rocker that has resonated with listeners. Another standout track, “One Of These Days,” offers a reflective look at life’s journey, while the energetic “10 Day Run” spins a wild tale of a working man’s encounter with a woman’s wrath.
Jennings also ventures into duet territory with “Girl On A Fast Horse,” featuring Charity Bowden, a classic cowboy-meets-cowgirl love song that has already been featured by Cowboys & Indians. Additionally, the album pays tribute to Gold Star Families and military veterans with the patriotic tune “One Folded.”
Jekyll & Hyde marks a powerful debut for Jennings, solidifying his place as a rising force in the country music scene.
