Jason Eady & Courtney Patton to Release Duets Album “Something Together”
For years we’ve been waiting for the two Texas country traditionalists, regular tour mates, and fluttering love birds of Jason Eady and Courtney Patton to release a duets album, and very soon we’ll get our wish. Just announced, the duo will be releasing an acoustic album called Something Together expected to arrive in early 2017. Fans of the two songwriters and performers can pre-order the album now and get it before it’s available at live shows.
Populated with songs recommended by fans, Something Together finds the two songwriters trading off their originally-composed songs, with a Merle Haggard cover of “My Favorite Memory” thrown in there for good measure, and other contributions from Texas songwriters like Adam Hood, Larry Hooper, Drew Kennedy, Josh Grider here and there.
In a Saving Country Music interview conducted by Ken Morton Jr. in 2015, Courtney Patton spoke about the challenge of putting together a duet album. “It hasn’t happened as quickly as we would have wanted it to, but it’s hard to not write campy duets. To write smart duets is hard. It’s something that will happen for sure. I just get hasty in telling people when.”

Excited for this. No one sings better than Jason.

Can’t wait.

Oh cool. This should be good. I met him last year at Eddies attic with Adam hood. Solid dude and all around nice guy.

I’m of two minds on this. Love both artists individually and I cannot wait to hear this album, BUT I am a bit bummed that this all but guarantees we might not hear Eady’s next solo album until late next year. I hope I am wrong, but I was really looking forward to that album since the songs Eady has performed on the Texas Music Scene show and some random YouTube albums have been astonishingly good.
No doubt this will be a great album, but damn if I also don’t want a new solo Jason Eady album ASAP.

Doing this as an acoustic album I think leaves the door open for Eady to release another solo record sooner than later. I would consider this a side project, but we’ll see.

Two of my favorites, can’t wait for the album.

I am a big fan of Courtney Patton’s singing voice but most of her original compositions just haven’t quite done it for me. Courtney’s is a fine female country voice is search of great material to let her reach her full potential. I’d prefer if this album were to consist of duet covers of great country songs written by other songwriters over the last 7 decades or so, but then again I’m not a Texan…

I’m fairly new to country music, and I’ll credit Jason Eady as the first country artist that pulled me in for good. I remember hearing Promises in Pieces and Cry Pretty and being sucked in by the lyrics right away. I never thought I’d like country music until then.

I’d never listened to Jason Eady before today, so I gave him a try today. I just listened to AM Country Heaven and Daylight & Dark and I could honestly listen to those two albums over and over without getting tired of them. That’s exactly the type of music I love.
I’m really looking forward to this album. The duets that they’ve already done are great, so the new ones should be as well
