New Single “Turbo” Drops November 22, 2024
The album’s second single, “Turbo,” arrives this Friday. This hilarious, rock ‘n’ roll-infused track recounts a cannabis-laced traffic stop in Tennessee gone awry, complete with a K9 unit and a tale that could only come from real-life misadventure. With a groove reminiscent of ’90s country and Chuck Berry, “Turbo” is sure to become a fan favorite.
“Another true story song,” Timmons shares. “This time about a traffic stop in Tennessee gone wrong and the K9 unit who made the bust. We were fortunate to drive away with a handful of citations and a story.”
