Best Western, the new self-produced album from Bones Owens, showcases the artist at his most restless and unfiltered. Released through Thirty Tigers (Sturgill Simpson, Smashing Pumpkins), this marks Owens' third full-length with the label. Across 15 tracks, Owens expands his signature blend of gritty rock, blues, and alternative influences into darker, more cinematic territory, exploring themes of restlessness, isolation, mortality, and the pull of the open road. Anchored by standout tracks like the brooding "In the Wind," the breakneck "All Time Low," and the aching, confessional ballad "Sunday Fix," Best Western also features the title track with longtime collaborator Yelawolf, a pairing that underscores Owens' instinct for pushing genre lines and defying expectations. A veteran collaborator with artists like Yelawolf, Mikky Ekko, and Jelly Roll, and a relentless touring presence alongside acts like Kaleo, Koe Wetzel, and Whiskey Myers, Owens channels his experience into a record that feels as lived-in and uncompromising as the stories it tells.
