Cody Johnson is saddling up to drop his new album, Leather, on Friday, November 3.

The 12-track project will be Cody’s third studio record released via COJO Music/Warner Music Nashville, and he says it’s his best one yet.

Leather is my best album I’ve ever recorded. Human was a wonderful album, but Leather is definitely going to beat it in my opinion,” the Texas native shares.

“I think that’s what you should do. You should always try to make a better album than you did the last time. As long as you feel that way, that means you’re continuing to progress and grow as a country music artist,” he notes.

Leather was first introduced with its lead single, “The Painter,” which is #25 and rising on the country charts. Coming up, Cody is set to perform the track live on the 57th CMA Awards, airing live from Nashville November 8 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Leather is available for preorder and presave now.

Here’s the track list for Leather:

“Work Boots”
“Double Down”
“Watching My Old Flame”
“That’s Texas”
“Dirt Cheap”
“Jesus Loves You”
“Whiskey Bent” (featuring Jelly Roll)
