New The High Desert Playboys single “Cold Cold Ground” out now!

“‘Cold Cold Ground’ is a story born of old black and white Twilight Zone episodes, where fiction toys with the ordinary and the mundane. In this episode, our wayward character finds himself at a backyard party in New Orleans sharing drinks and gumbo with friends who had died in years past. Slowly realizing they are accompanying the Grim Reaper, and are there to help ease his passing, he pleads for a reprieve for as long as there’s wh***ey and gumbo to go around. But everyone knows the cold, cold ground always wins in the end…” say Clark Andrew Libbey of the new track.

"The record leans into dark corners of the psyche... Some of the uplift comes from the artist's singular delivery—a distillation of a sober Jim Morrison and less surreal Screamin' Jay Hawkins."

Great print review of J Hacha De Zola's new album 'Without A Tribe,' in NJ.com!

"𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘈 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘦 depicts not the glitzy joys of a rising star but the physical and emotional nadir of a man who’s been betrayed devastated by alcohol, drugs and love.

"Despite the title, J Hacha De Zola’s new release finds him surrounded by the finest group of musicians in his career, all contributing to a top-tier recording that includes standout horns, strings, organ, percussion and backing vocalists."
