After a Flurry of Successful Lead Singles and the EP 'Ride or Die,' James Robert Webb Is Set to Drop His Highly Anticipated Outlaw Country-Inspired Fourth Album 'Weekend Outlaw' June 6
TULSA, Okla., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Over four decades since Loverboy iconically reminded us that everybody's "Working for the Weekend" and Waylon, Willie and company set the Nashville establishment on fire with their Outlaw Country movement, modern day storyweaver James Robert Webb offers a fresh twist on those empowering aesthetics with the drop of his highly anticipated fourth full-length album Weekend Outlaw Artfully weaving raw emotion, cinematic storytelling and clever turns of lyrical phrase into songs that feel all at once untamed, liberating and eternal, the veteran Tulsa OK singer/songwriter's 11 track set is the culmination of several years releasing a large batch of lead singles and the 2024 EP Ride or Die, Webb launched his current run of success with two songs that hit the upper reaches of the Texas Regional Radio Report chart – "Gentlemen Start Your Weekends" (#2) and "Lovesick Drifting Cowboy" (#1). Both appear on the EP and the new collection. With genre-busting outlaw soul, the tracks on the album aim to empower with a sound that is equal parts haunting mystery, explosive muscle and vibrant tradition, all captured by a spirit of fast-driving rebellion. Weekend Outlaw is inspired by and dedicated to folks like Webb who grew up in working class families and are successful professionals in other fields (in his case, a top musculoskeletal radiologist). Yet, especially since the pandemic, they realize that time is of the essence to pursue their creative dreams - and there's way more to life than the daily 9 to 5 grind. "We're all aware of the fleetingness of life, and know we've got to do it now," Webb says. "The whole 'Weekend Outlaw' mentality is about being true to our passions. My goal with the album is to encourage listeners to take ownership of their free time and follow the pursuits that come after clocking out on Friday night." Webb, who released his debut full-length Pictures in 2016, rose to prominence a few years later when two tracks from his 2020 self-titled album – "Something Out of Nothing" and "Stealing Home" – hit #1 on the Texas Regional Radio Report chart. In 2022, he was named the Country Breakout Awards' Independent Artist of the Year (an honor bestowed by Nashville's Music Row Magazine) and a year later he was a 2023 New Faces nominee at the Texas Regional Radio Report Music Awards. Expected later in 2025, Webb makes his debut as an actor playing himself in a new family-friendly holiday film currently titled "Music City Mistletoe." In addition to singing his original song "Fighting for a Dream" on camera, the film will include his recording "Merry Magical Christmas," a song he co-wrote with the film's writer and executive producer Shantell Ogden.

Jack Flaherty finds best fastball in Detroit Tigers' 3-1 win over SF Giants
Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty has been working behind the scenes for months on his mechanics, searching to repeat his optimal delivery in games. That search has led to some struggles. Everything clicked into place Tuesday, May 27, against the San Francisco Giants at Comerica Park. The 29-year-old guided the Tigers to a 3-1 win with his best performance of the 2025 season, delivering six scoreless innings. Advertisement Flaherty — who threw 97 pitches — struck out eight batters while allowing just two hits and one walk. His fastball command was the biggest beneficiary of his repeatable delivery. His fastball was the best it's been in 2025. Jack Flaherty of the Detroit Tigers pitches against the San Francisco Giants during the second inning at Comerica Park on May 27, 2025 in Detroit. The Tigers (36-20) scored one run apiece in the first, second and third innings to support Flaherty's strong start. Wenceel Pérez hit a solo home run in his return from the injured list, creating damage on the third pitch he saw with his first swing; Riley Greene — hitting .280 with an .850 OPS this season — finished 3-for-4 with one single, two doubles and two RBIs. Advertisement But Flaherty deserves credit for his poise on the mound, especially after working around leadoff singles — one from Mike Yastrzemski in a grueling 26-pitch first inning and another from Willy Adames in a smoother eight-pitch second inning. Those were the only two hits against him. He also retired the final 11 batters he faced, including five strikeouts during that stretch. Flaherty owns a 3.94 ERA in 11 starts. [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Detroit Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] Riley Greene rakes Giants right-hander Logan Webb — an All-Star last season and a top-six finisher in National League Cy Young voting in the past two seasons — allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts across six innings, throwing 104 pitches. Advertisement The Tigers made him work in the early innings. Webb used 49 pitches to complete two innings, then 71 pitches to complete three innings. In the first, Greene doubled off Webb's down-and-in changeup to score Gleyber Torres for a 1-0 lead. In the second, Pérez cranked a solo home run off Webb's middle-in sinker for a 2-0 lead. In the third, Greene singled off Webb's middle-in cutter to score Colt Keith for a 3-0 lead. The three hits from Greene: a double with a 114.5 mph exit velocity in the first inning, a single with a 94.8 mph exit velocity in the third inning and a double with a 104.7 mph exit velocity in the fifth inning. Advertisement Greene has 38 RBIs in 54 games. He is on pace for a career-high 110 RBIs this season. Getting to the finish line Flaherty exited after six innings. That meant the Tigers' bullpen needed to cover the final three innings, protecting a 3-0 advantage. Right-handed reliever Chase Lee took down the first two innings, inducing a double play for the first and second outs in the eighth. He then struck out Yastrzemski swinging with an 88.5 mph four-seam fastball at the top of the strike zone. In the ninth, right-handed reliever Will Vest allowed back-to-back hits to Heliot Ramos (single) and Wilmer Flores (RBI double) — trimming the Tigers' lead to 3-1 — but he retired the next three batters for his seventh save in nine opportunities. Advertisement Vest has emerged as the Tigers' preferred option for save situations. Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.
