The Cody Jinks “Sober Thing” Debut: Serenades and Sobriety

Lord almighty, honey! Y’all know I love me some Cody Jinks. Now, that Texas boy went and done something completely different this time – sang about sobriety, can you believe it? This ain’t no whiny sob story, darlin’. This is ol’ Cody taking the bull by the horns, serving up a real-life issue with a side of country twang.

My Take: The Bodacious Ballad of Cody Jinks

If there’s anything I’ve learned in my years of swooning over steel guitars and cowboy boots, it’s that country music ain’t just about drinking beers on a tailgate under a train track. It’s about being real, even when reality is as tough as a two-dollar steak. And that’s what this Jinks feller delivered with “Sober Thing.”

You know what they say – you can take the beer outta the honky-tonk, but you can’t take the honky-tonk outta the beer. Well, Mr. Jinks is showing us you can still do the two-step even when your whiskey glass is filled with seltzer. What a fine example of switchin’ gears without ditching that good ol’ country spirit.

So here’s to Cody – the outlaw poet servin’ up a sober serenade, remindin’ us that the best country songs ain’t always the ones filled with stories of shots and beers, but rather the ones that tug at your heartstrings while making your boot-covered feet tap along. Now, I’m just waiting for that record to play on my old dusty jukebox back home. Yeehaw!
