Never Gets Old is the ninth studio album by American country music artist Joe Nichols. It was released on July 28, 2017 by Red Bow Records. The album includes the singles "Never Gets Old" and "Billy Graham's Bible".
The album includes "Billy Graham's Bible", which previously appeared on his 2013 album Crickets. It also includes a cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back", performed with comedian Darren Knight.[1]
Mickey Jack Cones produced most of the album except for "Diamonds Make Babies" and "Never Gets Old" (produced by Brent Rowan) and "Billy Graham's Bible" (produced by Cones & Tony Brown).
"Diamonds Make Babies" was previously recorded by two other artists: Dierks Bentley on his 2012 album, Home, and Bradley Gaskin on his 2012 self-titled EP.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated the album 3.5 out of 5 stars. His review noted more modern influences in the production and lyrics, and praised Nichols' "easy touch" on the songs. He concluded his review by stating that "He's an old-fashioned guy who is happy living in the modern world, and that's why Never Gets Old is so appealing: It feels familiar yet fresh."[1]
