Jovin Webb's Debut Set for Oct. 18 Release

Jovin Webb's long-awaited debut album, Drifter, is set for release October 18. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based artist today unveiled the first single, "Bottom of a Bottle"— a raw and electrifying blues anthem that hits with the force of a barroom confessional. Gritty and soulful, the track features Webb’s signature gravelly vocals delivering a powerful narrative of life’s darker moments, all set against a backdrop of deep Louisiana blues. The song perfectly sets the stage for the album’s deeply personal themes, offering listeners a first taste of the emotional journey to come. “Bottom of a Bottle” is now streaming on all platforms, accompanied by a striking new music video.

“It’s about those moments of hitting rock bottom and finding solace where you can, even if it’s in the bottom of a bottle,” Webb shares. “The blues has always been about feeling deeply, and this track really embodies that.”

Produced by multi-Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge (known for his work with Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram), Drifter offers a vibrant mix of growling blues, soulful ballads, and Southern rock. The 12-track collection features Webb’s wailing harmonica, Little Richard-style rock 'n' roll, and heartfelt storytelling, all while drawing inspiration from the trials and tribulations of his personal journey.

“Drifter is the sound of a blues life searching for gospel redemption,” Jovin shares. “It’s me trying to figure out religion, women, my career, and everything I’ve gone through.”

Drifter reflects Webb’s personal journey, deeply influenced by the Southern Black Baptist church music that shaped his early years and the blues that later called him during his trials. “I soon realized that gospel and blues are related,” Webb shares. “Someone with the blues is in a low place, and when you seek salvation, you’re also usually in a low place.”

Drifter showcases Webb’s soulful blues authenticity, honed from years of performing from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, and brought to life in the studio by some of Nashville’s top musicians. The album also features Webb on harmonica and includes a surprise cover of the blues classic “Born Under a Bad Sign.”

The full album will be released Friday, October 18 on CD, vinyl LP, and at all digital services. Pre-order/save now: https://orcd.co/jovin
