Jake Owen teams with Shooter Jennings for new album

Dreams to Dream will be out on November 7th

Jake Owen will release his new studio album Dreams to Dream, produced by Shooter Jennings and Jake Owen and recorded at Snake Mountain (Sunset Sound Studio 3) in Los Angeles. The new album also features Jamey Johnson on “The Jukebox Knows,” and Savannah Conley on “Them Old Love Songs,” with writing credits that include Owen’s longtime friends and acclaimed songwriters Ben Chapman and Kendell Marvel. Dreams to Dream is due out November 7th via Good Company Entertainment.

“Sometimes you need to get outside what’s comfortable, what people think you are, or think you should be, and take a risk,” Owen shares.

With the album announcement, Owen has also shared “Long Time Lovin’ You.” For him, “Long Time Lovin’ You” is simple, easy, and real.

“My mom loves those types of songs where my voice is very soft and kind of pleasant on the ear,” he adds.

When Owen was a boy down in Vero Beach, Florida, he used to pick out country tunes by the likes of Hank Williams Jr. and Merle Haggard on back porches for his parents. “Long Time Lovin’ You” follows the release of the title track, “Dreams to Dream,” as well as a stunning cover of the Waylon Jennings tune, “Them Old Love Songs,” reimagined in the studio with Jennings.

A trusted troubadour for hot summer nights and cold beers, Owen is now in his forties, tangling with separations from lost lovers, raising kids, and growing out of the fresh-faced kid who headed down to Nashville 20 years back with a six-string and a dream. Not that he doesn’t still have both — the latter has just matured. Dreams to Dream, Owen’s long-awaited foray into old-school country, shines a light on raw and authentic storytelling that dives into real-life experiences like heartbreak, struggle, and defiance.

Ahead of the album release, Owen will join Darius Rucker for five shows in the UK from September 29th through October 5th. Then, at the end of October, Jake will team up with Dirty Heads for a small run of shows in Florida, October 23-26, before wrapping up the year with the annual Flamingo Weekend, benefiting The Jake Owen Foundation.
