RYAN BINGHAM SHARES OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “LET THE BIG DOG EAT”

NEW ALBUM THEY CALL US THE LUCKY ONES RELEASED TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM

“STILL GETTIN’ AWAY WITH IT TOUR” UNDERWAY, PLUS NEW DATES WITH ZACH BRYAN

June 17, 2026—Acclaimed Oscar and Grammy-winning musician Ryan Bingham shares the official music video for his song, “Let The Big Dog Eat,” today. Watch/share HERE.

Directed by Scott Ballew (Love Letter to Texas), the video was filmed earlier this spring during Bingham's special album release show at The Long Time in Austin, TX. Set at the vintage sandlot field home to the Texas Playboys, the video captures a day of community and live music, with young actor Josi Gonzalez starring as a mysterious newcomer who quickly becomes the center of attention.

“There’s nothing funnier to me than seeing kids do adult things as parody on screen,” shares Ballew, “When Ryan sent me the final mix of ‘Let The Big Dogs Eat,’ my imagination went straight to some sort of satire where Sinners meets Little Rascals. What if a 9-year-old kid was the most dangerous Mississippi Delta blues hustler around? Without much of a plan and no storyboards, the narrative unfolded as naturally as it possibly could have: a mysterious out-of-town hustler comes through, upstages Ryan on guitar, makes a few bucks shootin’ dice and playing cards with the old timers, wins big on the dog race, hits a home run, and leaves a legend. I feel like the video was made much like how the album was made. With a very Sandlot kind of spirit—raw, unrehearsed, and alive. There’s a swagger to it that matches the lyrics, and an innocence that reflects the pure nature in which the songs were recorded.”

“Let The Big Dog Eat” is from Bingham’s acclaimed new album with The Texas Gentlemen, They Call Us The Lucky Ones. Stream/purchase HERE. His first full-length project in over seven years, the album further cements Bingham as one of the most authentic and compelling voices in American music. Across the album’s 10 tracks, Bingham reflects on the highs and lows of an artist’s life on the road and his newfound sense of joy and hope, all framed by the unique genre-defying sound he and The Texas Gentlemen create together.

In celebration of the new music, Bingham recently returned to PBS’ legendary Austin City Limits, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, performed songs from the new album on Turtlebox’s “Box Sessions Presents: Ryan Bingham,” and spoke with Anthony Mason on CBS Mornings.

Early praise for They Call Us The Lucky Ones…

“as complete a record as Bingham has ever recorded”—Rolling Stone

"a handful of must-hear stories sketched into Bingham’s growing songbook of cinematic tales” —Forbes

“This is one smart, encompassing album about the world this talented singer-songwriter inhabits…He has already won a lasting place in the line of such raspy-voiced singer-songwriters as Bob Dylan, John Prine, Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle”—The Wall Street Journal

“a noticeably freer and more organic approach that is wholly informed by the bravado of live improvisation…Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen effectively weave a tapestry that knits together a throughline between foundational Americana genres.” —People

“an earthy and deeply human record. It moves between cinematic storytelling and barroom abandon with ease”—Entertainment Focus

"He’s a natural wordsmith, and such a craft allows him to spin a complex yarn in the simplest of ways”—Fort Worth Magazine

“he is absolutely at his best…This one feels like classic Ryan Bingham”—Whiskey Riff

“a collaboration with The Texas Gentlemen that feels as much like a reclamation as it does a reflection…it serves as a reminder that the journey itself, with all its grit and grace, is where the real art lives” —Holler

“Country, blues, border ballads, rock-and-roll, corridos, Cajun rhythms, Tejano flourishes—it all drifts through the record like radio stations fading in and out on a midnight drive across state lines.”—Glide

“a raw, live feel, blending country, rock, blues and Americana into something distinctly his own”—Nashville.com

“[Bingham] proves again why he’s one of country’s most raw and magnetic storytellers…it’s Ryan Bingham at his unfiltered, unpolished best: a storyteller, a rebel, and a musician who reminds us that country music still has room for risk, honesty, and fire.”—All Country News

“More than ever, Bingham can still drag a song to the edge of heartbreak” —Americana Highways

“This album was probably the most fun I’ve had making a record,” Bingham reflects. “I’ve always loved records that feel loose and live and gritty with a bit of soul, where the imperfections from the moment are left in. Working with musicians as talented as The Texas Gentlemen really let us lean into that in a way I hadn’t experienced before. There was an unspoken understanding between us about what each song needed, so we tracked most of it live with minimal overdubs, just playing and letting the feel lead. It finally felt like I was capturing these songs the way I always heard them in my head. We can’t wait to get out on the road and share them with fans.”

An electric live performer, Bingham is set to play newly confirmed stadium dates with Zach Bryan at San Diego’s Snapdragon Stadium (two nights), Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium, and Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High (two nights). Ahead of the new dates, Bingham will continue his “Still Gettin’ Away With It Tour,” sponsored by Tecovas, Bingham’s Bourbon, Turtlebox and Yeti. Upcoming stops include Fayetteville’s Ozark Music Hall and Dallas’ Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater. See below for complete tour itinerary.

In addition to Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen—Ryan Ake (guitars), Daniel Creamer (piano, organ), Paul Grass (drums, percussion) and Scott Lee (bass)—the record also features Richard Bowden (fiddle, mandolin) and Cody Huggins (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, pedal steel).

They Call Us The Lucky Ones is available on vinyl in multiple exclusive retail variants, including Classic Black, Indie Retail exclusive “Electric Smoke,” Barnes & Noble exclusive “Blue Sky,” Amazon exclusive “Vintage Bone” and the webstore-exclusive limited edition “Roadside Rust.” The album will also be available on CD and a nostalgia-inspired cassette, with all formats available HERE.

Bingham is a Grammy, Oscar, Golden Globe, and Critics’ Choice Award-winning singer-songwriter and actor whose raw, world-weary voice and evocative storytelling have made him one of the most distinctive artists of his generation. From his early years as a drifter and bull rider to penning “The Weary Kind” for the film Crazy Heart, Bingham has built a career defined by authenticity and artistic independence. His music—spanning folk, blues, country, and rock—reflects a life fully lived, blending grit, vulnerability, and resilience in equal measure.

Across six studio albums, two live records, and his 2023 self-produced EP Watch Out For The Wolf, Bingham has remained committed to unfiltered, genre-defying storytelling, captured in his live album Live at Red Rocks. In addition to his acclaimed music career, he starred as fan-favorite “Walker” on Paramount’s record-breaking series Yellowstone and recently led the Jeff Nichols-directed (Mud, Loving, Midnight Special) short film, Love Letter to Texas, which debuted at SXSW earlier this year. Featuring Bingham alongside Michael Shannon and Hassie Harrison, with narration from Sissy Spacek, Love Letter to Texas serves as a tribute to the legacy of iconic Texas films and the storytellers behind them. Beyond the stage and screen, Bingham has launched his own record label, founded the Fort Worth-based festival and rodeo, The Great Western, and introduced Bingham Spirits, beginning with Bingham’s Bourbon in 2024.
