Recorded at the Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, "Lifers" includes a cover of Merle Haggard's "The Way I Am". The title track was written with Ward Davis; the album was almost finished and the album title had already been decided, but it was retitled with the name of the song they wrote. The album debuted at No. 4 on the Top Country Albums chart, selling 11,300 copies in the first week. Jinks supported I'm Not the Devil with a co-headlining tour with Whitey Morgan and the 78's in August, September, and October. The album was rated one of the best country albums of 2016 by Rolling Stone. "Lifers" celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and pays tribute on its title track to the often-overlooked “lifers, the struggling strivers, working long after the day is done… the last of the great generation.” Released in 2016, "Lifers" landed at #4 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Opening with a punchy shot of spiritual thirst, “Holy Water,” is laced with ringing steel guitar and female backing vocals. The set wraps up with two honest self-examining confessionals on “Stranger” and “Head Case.” In between he tips his hat to the dedication and struggles of hard-working folks on “Lifers,” travels through a haunting western landscape on “Western Wind,” a place and love he left behind on “Colorado,” and examines his musical journey and drive to pursue it on the zesty two-stepper “Can’t Quit Enough.”

“Somewhere Between I Love You and I’m Leavin'” skillfully balances on the edge between heartbreak and desire, while “Big Last Name” and “7th Floor” tell the tales of two markedly different romantic quests. The music throughout is a muscular brand of deeply-rooted American music with a modern edge interspersed with moments of emotive delicacy and widescreen majesty. It’s rich with Jinks’ gift for “blending an innate knack for hooks with the DGAF attitude suited for a rebel,” as Rolling Stone describes his creative approach. Jinks is proud of how as a musical “lifer” he has forged his way to stardom on his own terms. “What is success if you can’t wake up everyday being who you really are?” he concludes. “It makes complete sense that I’m at this place in my life. Country music found me when I was young and chased me down as I grew older.”
