Nashville’s Cimarron 615 release “The Truth,” the second single from forthcoming self-titled album, featuring members of Poco and Flying Burrito Brothers

Nashville-based Americana quartet Cimarron 615 is thrilled to announce the release of their second single, “The Truth,” from their highly anticipated self-titled album, slated for release on February 28, 2025, via Blue Élan Records. Following the success of their debut single, “Butte La Rose,” Cimarron 615 continues to push the boundaries of their genre, blending rich, diverse influences to create a sound that’s unmistakably their own.

“The Truth” was inspired by a poem written by band-member Jack Sundrud’s close friend Kent Agee. Sundrud explains, “It’s about how facts can get lost in an avalanche of misleading information these days. The music builds in intensity until it’s barreling along like a runaway train. The solo is two guitars fighting to a crescendo of confusion. Harmonica virtuoso Paco Shipp (who’s worked with Johnny Cash, T-Bone Burnett, and others) punctuates the track with a growling blues harp.”

The upcoming album showcases the band’s unique Americana style, which seamlessly fuses their extensive musical backgrounds. Comprising Sundrud, Michael Webb, Rick Lonow, and Ronnie Guilbeau, the band draws upon their collective history with some of the most iconic names in music. Sundrud and Lonow were longtime members of country-rock pioneers Poco, while Webb spent eight years in the band. The quartet also counts collaborations with John Fogerty, Hank Williams Jr., Vince Gill, Dickie Betts, Flying Burrito Brothers, and Great Plains among their extensive resumes.

While their paths have crossed throughout their careers, it wasn’t until 2021—after the passing of Poco co-founder Rusty Young—that the group came together for a tribute concert and album organized by Blue Élan Records Co-Founder Kirk Pasich. This experience sparked a musical partnership that quickly blossomed into the formation of Cimarron 615. “When Kirk offered us the record deal, it was like, ‘Do what you want,’” Sundrud shares. “That really excited all of us, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. There’s no target to shoot for, except cool music and fun.”

Cimarron 615’s dynamic live shows are a key part of the band’s identity. As Sundrud explains, “When we’re live, we allow ourselves to open up and expand our solos, or find a different part, whatever feels right that night. We listen to each other, and we like to let the music happen organically. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that’s when the best stuff happens.”
