Next year will mark 25 years since the formation of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, and the Canadian trio have announced that their 10th studio album will arrive early next year.

The group — featuring Tom Wilson, Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden — have signed to Warner Music Canada ahead of delivering their next studio album King of This Town.

Eleven tracks in length, the album is set to arrive January 24. A first taste of the record arrives today with "Cold 100," which you can hear in the player below.
