Country music trio Aaron Tippin, Joe Diffie, and Sammy Kershaw are scheduled to debut their new 12-track album, All in the Same Boat, at the end of this month. Inspired by the success of their current tour, “Roots & Boots,” the album is a blend of all-new music and familiar fan favorites like Tippin’s smash hit “Kiss This” and Kershaw’s number one hit “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful.”

“I decided to go with two brand new songs and one old Neil Young song, ‘Heart of Gold,’ for my tunes on the album,” says Diffie. “I think fans will really enjoy the whole thing. We had as much fun making the album as we do on the road!”

Aaron Tippin penetrated the country music scene with his debut single, “You’ve Got to Stand For Something,” followed by his other hits “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly,” “There Ain’t Nothing Wrong with the Radio” and “Kiss This.”

Oklahoma native, Joe Diffie, has topped the charts since the 90s with his ballads including “Home,” “Pickup Man,” and “Bigger Than the Beatles.” His repertoire includes four gold and platinum albums as well as twenty top 10’s.

Grammy-nominated country artist Sammy Kershaw has more than thirty singles to date and two gold-certified albums. His mainstream hits include “Cadillac Style,” “Third Rate Romance,” and “Queen of My Double Wide Trailer.”

Fans that can’t wait until May 28 to pick up All in the Same Boat can watch the music video here or pre-order it on iTunes and Amazon starting May 14.

“It’s one of those with a surprise ending,” says Diffie. “Somehow, we all three survived!”
