Rising singer and songwriter Jenna Paulette arrives with Horseback (Deluxe), a 20 track expanded edition of her 2024 album Horseback. The deluxe project includes three previously unreleased songs and a duet version of “The Dirt” featuring John Morgan. The song will be featured on SiriusXM’s Highway On The Horizon beginning today. The album was produced by Will Bundy and adds new layers to the original release, including live recordings of Tim McGraw’s “Cowboy In Me” and Tanya Tucker’s “Texas (When I Die).”
“I’m excited to release the deluxe version of Horseback featuring new versions of songs on the original record — some turning into duet versions with artists and friends I admire so much, as well as a few live versions of songs I love to cover,” Paulette shares. “The album originally came out just two weeks before my daughter was born, and so much life has happened since then. Revisiting these songs now makes this chapter even more meaningful.”
“One of those duets is with my dear friend John Morgan,” she adds. “I met him through our friend Jeb Gipson and before we both had record deals, he played a little guitar for me. He’s always been one of the best pickers and singers in town. Our version of ‘The Dirt’ feels complete with him on it.”
Album Highlights, Tour Plans, and Career Milestones
Horseback (Deluxe) features all 13 tracks from the original album, which has already surpassed 26 million streams. Songs like “Wild Is Her Favorite Color,” “3 Kings,” “Outside,” “Run The Damn Ball,” “Darlin’,” and “Steady” showcase themes of authenticity, hard work, and love, with “Steady” currently breaking into the top 15 at Texas radio. Additional duet versions include “Chasin’ Whiskey” with Jake Worthington and “The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song)” with Ashley McBryde.
