With his smooth baritone and lonesome, dark-hued country songs, Cody Jinks
evokes classic styles from outlaw country to classic Southern rock. A native of
Haltom City, Texas, Jinks spent the early part of his career fronting the Fort
Worth-based thrash metal outfit Unchecked Aggression before returning to his
country roots and recasting himself as a honky tonk balladeer in the late 2000s.
Beginning with 2010s Less Wise, Jinks issued a handful of independent releases,
touring heavily with his backing band, the Tone Deaf Hippies. His first chart
success came with 2015s Adobe Sessions, which was named after the Adobe Room at
Tornillo, Texas Sonic Ranch studio where it was recorded. The album peaked at
number two on Billboards Heatseekers chart, bringing Jinks into wider mainstream
exposure. Returning to Sonic Ranch, he recorded his follow-up, Im Not the Devil,
which jumped to number four on the Billboard Country Albums chart upon its
release in August 2016. Less Wise (Modified), a remixed and remastered version
of his 2010 debut, arrived the following year. ~ Timothy Monger
