Renegade
Other Side of Broken is R.J. Sloane's most emotionally exposed outlaw country album, made for the man who has finally stopped fighting long enough to face what he's been carrying.
No armor, no fight to win, just the raw man underneath: what he carries, what he hides, what it costs him to get up again.
Track 1 — Never Asked to Carry It All
Never Asked to Carry It All is an outlaw country ballad by R.J. Sloane about the exhaustion of being the one everyone else leans on.
He's been standing in the gap so long he forgot what it feels like to fold, and no one's ever once asked what it costs him.
Track 2 — Last Mile of Hard (Acoustic)
Last Mile of Hard (Acoustic) is a stripped-down outlaw country ballad by R.J. Sloane about the moment a man hits rock bottom and finds the will to dig deeper by reaching up.
No full band, no explosion, just the confession, standing alone.
Track 4 — Thrown Down
Thrown Down is a driving outlaw gospel track by R.J. Sloane about the fierce fight to get back up every time life throws him down.
A busted radiator, a broken gate, a scorching sun, every breakdown becomes proof the fight isn't wasted.
Track 5 — Ain't Out Here Alone
Ain't Out Here Alone is an outlaw gospel ballad by R.J. Sloane about a man realizing God was already present in the middle of his breaking, not just waiting on the other side of it.
He's crushed to his knees in a storm that won't let up, and something still holds his brokenness close.
Track 6 — Locked Out
Locked Out is a dark country song by R.J. Sloane about a man realizing the walls he built to protect his family have also locked him out of loving them.
He kept them fed and safe and never once let them see the cost, until safety built on distance started costing him everything.
Track 7 — Losing Ground Fast
Losing Ground Fast is an outlaw gospel ballad by R.J. Sloane about a man watching his strength fail and refusing to believe he's been abandoned.
Hands shaking on work he's done his whole life, enemies whispering he's already lost, and help arrives right on time.
Track 8 — Road to Abilene (feat. Hunter Sloane)
Road to Abilene is an outlaw country duet by R.J. Sloane featuring Hunter Sloane about pulling out of the driveway of a home that's been sold, and realizing the walls held more than either of them knew how to carry.
The truck's loaded, the porch light's off, and the road ahead doesn't make the leaving any easier.
