Everyone try to look cool. Don\u2019t act too excited or go apoplectic and draw too much attention to yourself. But there is new, unheard music on the way from the King of the Honks Tonks himself, Gary Stewart. And no, this is not some AI gimmick. Scout\u2019s honor. <\/p>

It\u2019s just been revealed that a new collection of unheard Gary Stewart songs and rare recordings is coming from the Delmore Recording Society called One Track Mind<\/em> on July 17th. The 16 previously-unheard recordings and 20 total songs on digital and CD versions are taken from Gary Stewart\u2019s early career between 1967 and 1972. It comes from an era when Stewart was known more as a songwriter than a performer, but was still at the peak of his creative form. <\/p>

The tracks range from fully fleshed-out recordings, to some songwriting demos and work tapes, along with an acetate recording. They were preserved and readied for release by producer Mark Linn and\u00a0Stewart\u2019s close friend Tommy Schwartz.\u00a0The vinyl version will come on 140-gram, \u201cOkeechobee purple\u201d vinyl. The CD\/digital version comes with Motown demos of the Four Tops\u2019 \u201cBaby I Need Your Loving\u201d and \u201cI Can\u2019t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)\u201d and Stevie Wonder\u2019s \u201cYester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday\u201d that Stewart recorded for $30 a pop. <\/p>

Several songs on the collection are familiar from other performers like Del Reeves (\u201cOne Track Mind\u201d), Cal Smith (\u201cYou Can\u2019t Housebreak a Tomcat\u201d), Jack Greene (\u201cThere\u2019s a Whole Lot About a Woman (A Man Don\u2019t Know)\u201d) and Nat Stuckey (\u201cThe Snuff Queen\u201d). But this will be the first time you can hear these Gary Stewart versions. The version of \u201cThe Snuff Queen\u201d on this collection is different from the one Gary released as a single by Kapp in 1970. <\/p>\n\n\n

Ahead of the release, you can hear the previously-unheard Gary Stewart song \u201cIron Bar Motel\u201d (listen below). <\/p>

The new collection of unheard songs comes during a bevy of classic country archive releases, and a renewed push to reignite the legacy of Gary Stewart. Waylon Jennings and Don Williams<\/a> have also been the beneficiaries of archive releases. And in April, the definitive biography,\u00a0Gary\u00a0Stewart: I Am From the Honky-Tonks<\/a><\/em>, was published from writer Jimmy McDonough. <\/p>

Whether you revere him as the King of the Honky Tonks, or just remember him for his iconic country hits like \u201cShe\u2019s Actin\u2019 Single (I\u2019m Drinkin\u2019 Doubles),\u201d anyone who knows their way around a vintage country music record collection will tell you that Gary Stewart has to be perhaps the most underrated musician in country music history. Hopefully this new collection of songs helps revitalize discussions about Gary Stewart\u2019s impact and influence. <\/p>

Gary Stewart\u2019s One Track Mind<\/em> is now available for pre-save\/pre-order<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>
