Cody Jinks and The Tonedeaf Hippies are putting the band front and center on And, Again, a new 14-track album due February 26, 2027, through Late August Records. The title track is out now following the November 6 announcement.
The announcement describes a return to the group’s country roots after the more rock-driven direction of Change the Game and In My Blood. That country foundation still leaves room for a surprise: Alice Cooper joins Jinks on “Moving Mountains.”
A longtime band gets its name on the story
Jinks and his bandmates gather in Colorado each January to write and record, even as their lives have spread across the country. For this project, the press announcement emphasizes that shared process and the trust built through years of touring together.
That is the detail that makes this announcement interesting. A familiar name can sell an album, but the people building the songs beside that name help determine what listeners actually hear.
“I’ve used my entire life as my canvas,” Jinks said in the announcement. “It’s on every record.”

The writing credits include Ward Davis, Courtney Patton, Jason Eady, Steve Wariner, Bobby Pinson and David Lee Murphy. “Moving Mountains” was written by Jinks, Cooper and Bob Ezrin. The announcement calls it a desert-rock duet, which suggests the country reset still has room for a detour.
New music now, full album in February
The title track is available now. Visit Cody Jinks’ official website for current release information and tour updates. Jinks has also been announced for Stagecoach 2027.
We will have to hear the full record before deciding how that promised warmer, looser sound lands. For now, the band billing and the writing credits give longtime fans plenty to watch as the February release approaches.
