They Call Us The Lucky Ones, Bingham’s first full-length project in over seven years, further cements Bingham as one of the most authentic and compelling voices in American music. Already receiving critical attention, Bingham recently spoke with Rolling Stone, which calls the album “as complete a record as Bingham has ever recorded,” while All Country News declares, “he proves again why he’s one of country’s most raw and magnetic storytellers.”
The album is his first with The Texas Gentlemen, the all-star collective of players from the Lone Star State. The Texas Gentlemen are Ryan Ake (guitars), Daniel Creamer (piano, organ), Paul Grass (drums, percussion) and Scott Lee (bass); the record also features Richard Bowden (fiddle, mandolin) and Cody Huggins (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, pedal steel). Across the album’s 10 tracks, including standouts “The Lucky Ones,” “Twist the Knife,” “Ballad of The Texas Gentlemen” and “Americana,” Bingham reflects on the highs and lows of an artist’s life on the road and his newfound sense of joy and hope, all framed by the unique genre-defying sound he and the band create together. In celebration of the new music, Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen will embark on their extensive “Still Gettin’ Away With It Tour” this spring.
