Randy Rogers Band’s new album – their sixth studio collection and eighth overall — arrives in stores on Tuesday (April 30th). The collection was produced by Jay Joyce (Wallflowers, Eric Church, Little Big Town), and it was the band’s first time working with the famed producer, which the band feels helped them get through a difficult time.

During the time they spent working on their new album Trouble, the band and its extended family suffered a number of tragic events including the untimely death of bassist Jon Richardson’s brother. “During this recording process [and] writing process for this record, all of us I think, kind of went through trying times in our life,” says lead singer Randy Rogers. “For me playing the guitar has always calmed me down; writing songs always helps me through a difficult situation. So, definitely there’s some songs that I wrote for this record that were kind of like therapy for me. And then I know that when we got into the studio and we were all excited to be working with Jay Joyce and excited about recording our eighth record, it really pulled us all together, and I think it was a healing for us for some of the things that we had been through during the making of this record.”

The band just released their latest single, “Fuzzy,” which is from their new album, Trouble.
