The Highway Kind finds lead singer Josh Abbott embracing life as a loving husband and doting father of two after 12 years as a road warrior and frontman of his country band.  The music reflects Abbott’s his newfound purpose as a father and a husband.  While making the record, Abbott and his wife relocated from Austin to Nashville for three months where he embraced the collaborative songwriting scene.  Abbott dubs the new album “the first real, true band album experience” that they have recorded. The band hunkered down at the famed Texas studio for two weeks in mid-2019 where their musicianship evolved as they worked closely with Altman.
