Produced by the incredible Denny Hemingson (Tim McGraw’s guitarist and bandleader) and featuring Billy Nobel, David Santos, and Grammy-nominated Wendy Moten. I’m on vocals, guitar, tenor sax and horns, and we hope you dig it.

peanut butter cups were always the superior choice

Denny has a great sense of style, but color coordination is purely coincidental. 😆
Stoked about how our new album came together, listen to a sneak peek of Headline on the latest episodes of the Abel James podcast.

Denny throwing down with Tim McGraw in Austin.
Sam Elliott seems to approve.
@TheTimMcGraw and the band put on an incredible show.
For more guitar wizardry, catch Denny on our brand new album, Headline!

This might be the wildest minimum wage statistic I've ever seen.
In 1971, the federal minimum wage was $1.60 per hour. Gold averaged $40.92 per ounce.
It took 26 hours of minimum-wage labor to earn an ounce of gold.
In 2025, the federal minimum wage was $7.25. Gold averaged $3,432 per ounce.
It took 473 hours of labor to earn that same ounce.
Your hourly wage increased 4.5× in dollars.
The amount of labor required to acquire gold increased 18.5×.
Measured in gold, the federal minimum wage lost approximately 95% of its value.
Fifty-four years of nominal wage increases, and one hour of work buys a fraction of the monetary asset it once did.
Probably nothing
Want to have your mind blown?
In 1971, the median household income was $9,030, or 220 ounces of gold.
In 2025, it was $87,460, or just 25 ounces of gold.
Your paycheck went up 10x.
Measured in gold, it fell 88%.
To earn what the median household earned in 1971, you’d need about $890,000 per year today.
That’s what fiat debasement looks like.
Huge congratulations to @TheTimMcGraw for being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Tim and the band are changing the world with music that means something.
I’m beyond honored that Denny Hemingson, Tim McGraw’s bandleader and guitarist of 35 years, produced our brand new album, Headline.
You’ll hear him shredding on just about every tune, but more than that, Denny brings songs to life.
Thank you for doing it right, you all are living legends.
