After being released from prison in 2016, Harness dropped Return of the Outlaw EP via Slumerican.[1] From 2017 to 2018, he collaborated with rapper JellyRoll on the trilogy of Waylon & Willie albums, the title of which pays homage to Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson's Waylon & Willie and WWII.

In the beginning of 2019, Struggle with his daughter Brianna Harness released collaborative EP entitled Sunny Days, which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Blues Albums.
