Jake Owen Takes Listeners 'All Over The Map' On Long-Awaited 'Loose Cannon'

Jake Owen delivered the perfect summer anthems with the release of his long-awaited, seventh full-length studio album on Friday (June 23).

The country star’s Loose Cannon has finally arrived, and it’s been “a long time coming,” he said. Owen’s 16-track project includes a few previously-released anthems that he shared just in time for Memorial Day weekend (so listeners could “start cranking them on the boat”). Those tracks and others display Owen’s signature style of blending summertime vibes with his classic country sound.

“These songs are all over the map, which is really what a loose cannon is, and sort of who I am,” Owen wrote in a tweet when Loose Cannon finally made its debut. “Anytime you make something creative it’s scary, but also fulfilling and interested to see what songs y’all get stuck on.”

2. “Go Getter” (Brent Cobb, Jake Mitchell, Aaron Ratiere)

Owen, who appeared on The Bobby Bones Show on Friday morning, previously released “Hot Truck Beer,” “Solo, Solo,” — one Owen’s 4-year-old daughter Paris’ favorites — “On The Boat Again” and “Nothing.” Some of those tracks featured a few nostalgic references, including Owen’s nod to a Willie Nelson classic and the theme song of the 1960s sitcom The Andy Griffith Show. The full project marks Owen’s latest one since Greetings From…Jake, which released just over four years ago.

“Loose Cannon has been a long time coming and I'm so excited my fans can finally experience it with me,” Owen said in a press release. “I hope the album makes it into your summertime memories and I can't wait to see y'all on the road this fall.”
