Jerry Joseph has just released a new video for “Sugar Smacks.” The song appears on his forthcoming album The Beautiful Madness, which is set for release on Aug. 21.

The singer-songwriter enlisted longtime friend Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers to produce the record, and many of the backing tracks were performed by the Truckers.

Hood comments, “‘Sugar Smacks’ might be the most punk rock song I’ve heard in twenty years (or more). As a founding member of Drive-By Truckers, I place this track among my favorite moments of this band’s discography and the rest of them are in unanimous agreement with me about that.”

Joseph adds, “The video includes footage of my travels over the years and I’m very proud of it.”
