Turnpike Troubadours The Price of Admission LP

Turnpike Troubadours — the Tahlequah, Oklahoma kings of Red Dirt music — have returned with the group's new studio album, The Price of Admission, produced by the Grammy Award winning Shooter Jennings.

Fronted by vocalist and chief songwriter Evan Felker, fiddler Kyle Nix, steel player Hank Early, guitarist Ryan Engleman, bassist RC Edwards, drummer Gabe Pearson fill out the six member group, who've collectively run the gauntlet of success, scrutiny, and even personal troubles. They've racked up more than 2 billion streams globally and are selling out arenas and headlining festivals. Still, to some, they remain a mystery — the most popular band they've never heard of — but that won't remain the case for long.

The Price of Admission further cements the band as an undeniable force in the music world, showcasing their "superior, tightly-knit musicianship and ever maturing, evocative lyricism" (Billboard).

one of, if not the best country band on the face of the planet

The highly influential Turnpike Troubadours helped set the tone for so much modern alt-country

Where their previous, return album A Cat in the Rain might have been a little too blended and sedate, The Price of Admission feels like the more full-bodied effort with bolder textures that will burrow beneath beneath your skin until it infects your bones in extended releases of joy.
