A Long Way from Your Heart is the fifth studio album by American country band Turnpike Troubadours. It was released on October 20, 2017 through Bossier City Records.
Named for the bumpy toll-roads of Oklahoma and their rough-hewn, folk-singing heroes, the Turnpike Troubadours are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality.
Bandy embodied the country ethos of writing and performing songs about real people and real life, songs about cheatin' and drinkin' and heal kickin' good times - the best of what country music has to offer!
"The Scottish band’s first studio album in seven years considers the importance of togetherness with clear, aphoristic language and a few musical experiments." -Pitchfork
Linda Martell was the first African-American woman to make the country charts and to appear at the Grand Ole Opry. As one of the first African-American country performers, Martell helped lay the groundwork for future artists of color in the genre.
