Stream/purchase HERE. Produced by Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, ZZ Top) and Jinks’ longtime bassist, Joshua Thompson, Change The Game marks a new chapter for Jinks both personally and professionally, as he is now self-managed with a completely independent team.

In celebration of the release, Jinks will perform on Fox & Friends tomorrow morning and also serve as Grand Marshal for the Focused Health 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series Race tomorrow afternoon at Circuit of The Americas outside Austin, TX. Additionally, the #15 Ford car, driven by Hailie Deegan, will feature Cody Jinks graphics.

Critical acclaim for Change The Game:

“glories in the enlightenment-seeking rebel journeys of the free spirits”—Billboard

“Jinks consistently puts out quality country music”—American Songwriter

“if anyone has changed the game, proving that you can still have success as an independent country music recording artist... it’s Cody Jinks.”—Whiskey Riff

“one of the most successful independent artists in his space”—Holler

“He’s proof that authenticity still counts for something, and in a world of auto-tuned everything, Cody Jinks is keeping it as real as a heartbreak after last call”—Barstool Sports

“Cody shows off what a thoughtful tunesmith he is”—All Country News

“Cody Jinks takes a contemplative turn, inviting fans to reconnect with the raw essence of his music—his brooding, soulful voice.”—Country Central

“Jinks has reached stratospheric heights as an independent country artist…a genuine and approachable nature”—The Music Universe

Reflecting on the project, Jinks shares, “This is the most open and honest record I’ve ever recorded, I laid everything out.”

In addition to Jinks (vocals, acoustic guitar), Change The Game features Chris Claridy (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), David Colvin (drums, percussion), Drew Harakal (B3, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jake Lentner (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Joshua Thompson (bass) and Austin “Hotrod” Tripp (pedal steel, dobro). The record also includes a new version of Faith No More’s “Take This Bottle,” featuring special guest Pearl Aday.

Jinks has always built his career on his own terms. Drawing on his unique musical background—growing up near Fort Worth, TX, where he cut his teeth in bars and honky-tonks as well as the influential local metal scene—Jinks learned to disrupt the status quo with an industrious, do-it-yourself approach. These experiences are reflected on Change the Game, as Jinks puts forth his signature outlaw country spirit with a new level of artistic maturity. 

“One of the most beloved and successful independent voices in country music” (Wide Open Country), Jinks has amassed a loyal fanbase throughout his career, having sold over 2 million tickets to date. He’s also released ten full-length albums that regularly chart near the top of Billboard Country and Independent Albums charts, garnered 3.5 billion streams across platforms and had eight songs certified RIAA Platinum or Gold, led by the double-platinum success of “Loud and Heavy.” In recognition of this hard work, Jinks was named Music Row’s 2023 Independent Artist of the Year—the second time he’s received this honor.
