Best Western

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.
