The Band of Heathens is teaming up with Hayes Carll for their new collaborative album, Hayes & The Heathens, set to be released on Friday, October 4. This exciting project promises a blend of “country-funk and good-time boogie,” as described by The Heathens’ Gordy Quist.
In this new album, listeners can look forward to original tracks, including “Any Other Way,” which Carll characterizes as “one man’s laissez-faire philosophy set to some country-funk goodness.” Additionally, the album will feature a unique rendition of The Proclaimers’ iconic 1988 hit “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).”
Quist highlighted the creative synergy between the band and Carll, emphasizing their focus on fun in the collaborative process. “Leaning into each other’s strengths, we found some sonic territory new to all of us,” he stated. “The deciding factor for all of our creative choices on the record came down to the simple question of what sounds more fun.”
