For those not in the know, Southern California-based roots-rock band Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls is set to release its new album, Earth Fire Water Airborne via Small Recordings on November 14th, 2025.

Full of unabashed emotionality and another helping of the unapologetic verve that has defined the balance of the band’s career, Heah and his fellow Greedy Souls come across as primal, raw and, well, elemental as can be on the dozen tracks that make up the new album.

“The songs were written and recorded during the pandemic lockdown and were, in some ways, just an attempt to process the moral, political and spiritual challenges that we were facing individually and collectively,” says Heath. “I just tried to be as honest as I could be in the writing and production without getting caught up in the hype of it all. I feel like we were successful ... at least I hope so.”

Earlier releases organically aligned with the burgeoning Americana movement, but more recently, Heath and company felt a reset of sorts in order for capturing the character of the sonic template they wanted to enact for Earth Fire Water Airborne.

The trajectory of the anthemic fist-pumper Children, Chains and Razorwire and the skinny-tie vibes of 6 More Miles in turn connect with the acoustic throes of Your Disease and Pieces of Your Heart, the touching duet that closes the album.

In short, Earth Fire Water Airborne shares powerful DNA with the timeless nature of our most cherished rock records - but not just because the late, great MC5 guitarist and longtime friends Wayne Kramer contributed his final performance to the title track.

“My biggest influences have always been artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, so I went after more of a roots-rock approach this time,” explains Health. “We also got inspiration from other kinds of music we’ve always liked, whether its Pink Floyd, U2, Radiohead, or newer stuff like The War on Drugs.”

Chock full of their usual level of unabashed musicianship combined with an emotionality unapologetic vein that pulsates throughout each and every track, the new recording opens on the barn storming rocker Earth Fire Water Airborne (featuring MC5 great Wayne Kramer) and the throaty, low slung, yet grooved rock of Children, Chains and Razorwire and then we get the free flowingly rhythmic Can’t Get You Outta my Head, the jangling guitar work of A Perfect Sound (Don’t be Afraid), and both the Coldplay-esque The Night the Sun Burned Out and a gently hued ache that drives Your Disease.

Up next for the LA-based roots-rock band is the propellent troubadour-fueled 6 More Miles and the affectingly melodious Something to Hide, and they are in turn backed by the Counting Crows-imbibed Here Comes Love (She Don’t Lie), the old school rock ’n’ roll sounds of Wake Up Famous, the album rounding out on the soaring mid-tempo balladry of Thunder Above Fire Below, coming to an all-too-soon close on the truly emotive ballad Pieces of Your Heart.
