Texas-based band Treaty Oak Revival has unveiled their latest musical offering, “The Talco Tapes,” an acoustic album released on August 25, 2025, distributed by Interscope Records. This new collection features stripped-down renditions of eight fan-favorite songs from their initial two albums, showcasing a different facet of the band’s sound.
A New Acoustic Direction
“The Talco Tapes” presents a deliberate shift for Treaty Oak Revival, offering acoustic versions of tracks that have garnered significant attention. Among the reimagined songs are their Gold-certified hits “I’m The Worst” and “Ode To Bourbon.” The album also includes a notable cover of The Goo Goo Dolls’ 1995 hit, “Name,” a choice the band described as personal and challenging, aiming to put their unique spin on the beloved ballad. The band expressed their desire to create an “upgraded” version of their previous acoustic sessions, born from the positive fan reception to their “PBS Unplugged” performance. This project allows them to demonstrate their versatility, proving that their songs can translate effectively from high-energy rock anthems to more subdued, country-tinged arrangements. The album was recorded live in the studio, capturing a raw and authentic performance, with a full-length video accompanying the release on YouTube, offering fans behind-the-scenes insight.
