The Turnpike Troubadours, Oklahoma’s celebrated roots-country band fronted by Evan Felker, confirmed on Tuesday, June 23, that a new single titled “Feelin’ Good Again” arrives on all streaming platforms this Friday, June 26, 2026. The track is a cover of the beloved Robert Earl Keen classic, featuring bluegrass star Sierra Hull on the recording. It marks the Troubadours’ first release of new music since their surprise 2025 album “The Price of Admission” and has sent the Americana and roots-country world into immediate anticipation.
What We Know About “Feelin’ Good Again” With Sierra Hull
Robert Earl Keen’s “Feelin’ Good Again” is one of the most recognized songs in the roots-country and Texas country canon, a floor-filler that has anchored festival setlists and late-night bar sets since the 1990s. Keen himself is a foundational figure in the independent country world, and his catalog has influenced countless artists who prioritize songwriting and honesty over radio formulas. The Turnpike Troubadours’ decision to cover this track, and to bring in Sierra Hull as a collaborator, signals an intention to honor that lineage with care.
Sierra Hull is a three-time International Bluegrass Music Association Mandolinist of the Year and a Nashville-based artist whose genre-crossing work has drawn admiration from across the music spectrum. Her presence on a Turnpike Troubadours recording adds a layer of acoustic depth that will resonate with fans of both artists.
The studio footage shared by the band on social media shows Felker alongside bandmates “Hammerin'” Hank Early on banjo, Kyle Nix on fiddle, Ryan Engleman on an unplugged Telecaster, and Gabriel Pearson on tambourine. The setting has drawn speculation from fans about the recording location, with some identifying it as a Los Angeles studio used by Shooter Jennings, who produced the Troubadours’ last two full-length records.
Is a New Turnpike Troubadours Album Coming in 2026?
The release of “Feelin’ Good Again” lands with layers of intrigue for fans who have been tracking signals carefully. In December 2025, frontman Evan Felker posted to Instagram a simple question: “New Record in 26? You tell me.” The response from fans was overwhelming. Since then, every studio photo and cryptic social media post has been analyzed for clues.
The Troubadours released “The Price of Admission,” an 11-track surprise record, in April 2025. Whether “Feelin’ Good Again” is a standalone tribute to Robert Earl Keen, the first single from a full-length project, or the opening track of a tribute album remains to be seen. What fans know for certain is that the band is active in the studio and delivering new music while a demanding summer tour rolls on.
