Step In

Jeb Loy Nichols returns to Timmion Records with "Step In" b/w "Coming Home Love", a gently captivating 7" that pairs his dusty storytelling with the deep soul finesse of Timmion house band Cold Diamond & Mink. Draped in southern soul flavors and soft-spoken wisdom, these two tracks are a testament to Jeb's lifelong journey through the roots of American music - and his rare ability to make something instantly familiar feel fresh. On the A-side, "Step In" rolls forward on a mellow backbeat and sun-drenched electric piano, painting a quietly joyful portrait of reunion. It's a celebration of reconnecting - the warmth of being greeted, of returning to the rhythm of love, told with grace. On the flip, "Coming Home Love" takes things slower, drifting into classic soul ballad territory with an organ, soft horns and subtle guitar figures guiding the melody. It's a masterclass in restraint - every phrase hanging gently in the air, every detail adding to the emotional weight. Both tracks are pure, rootsy soul, captured live to tape in Timmion's analog sanctuary and delivered with the confidence of a team that knows exactly where the groove lives. And while these sides stand strong on their own, they also offer a first glimpse into Jeb's second full-length album with Cold Diamond & Mink - due out later this year.
