Love & Theft New Album “Whiskey On My Breath” Out Feb. 10

It has been a while, but we can finally look forward to some new Love & Theft coming next month. On February 10 the ACM, CMA, and CMT nominated duo will release a third studio album Whiskey On My Breath via their label, Hate & Purchase Music. (see what they did there?)

To celebrate this much anticipated record Love & Theft will be kicking off a tour by playing five dates at the Grand Ole Opry. Click over to LoveAndTheft.com for a full list of cities and dates.

Coming off the heels of such successes as the #1 hit “Angel Eyes”, and top 10 smash “Runaway”, Love & Theft are anxious to delve into a more mature, maybe uncharted side of themselves. The duo, made up of Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson, have been bringing their fun, harmony laden, brand of country to the charts since 2009.

“There are plenty of songs on this album that are good, fun songs. And that’s still a side of us too”, Gunderson explains.  “In some ways we’ve played it safe, and I think we’re over that now”, adds Barker Liles. “I don’t mind that songs like “Whiskey On My Breath” may be a little controversial.”

And that brings us to the titular “Whiskey On My Breath” single, available now on iTunes. This song was written by Nashville singer/songwriter Tyler Reeve. I met Tyler about a year ago and have been fortunate to hear him do this song acoustically all over town. A song with as much veracity and exposure of ones inner fears does not come along too often these days, but when it does, the irrevocable emotion it evokes is undeniable.

I can go on for another two pages of stroking Tyler’s ego, (and as a fellow writer of verse, that means something), but instead I will treat you to this version of Tyler Reeve singing “Whiskey On My Breath”.

I’ve seen Love & Theft play concerts and acoustic shows and I can tell you, as a critic, that you do not want to miss them if they come anywhere close to you.
