John Morgan: ‘Carolina Blue’ – Debut Album Review

/in , , , /by

John Morgan shares his brand new debut album, Carolina Blue, out now on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new project here.

Singer-songwriter John Morgan is ready to step into the forefront as an artist with the release of his debut album, Carolina Blue, out now. For the rising star, who has amassed a multitude of top ten hits as a writer, his debut full-length project shows him on the verge of stardom.

Signed to Jason Aldean’s Night Train Records imprint through BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Morgan’s debut features twelve new songs. He co-wrote the dozen tracks alongside Nashville hitmakers like Will Bundy, Tyler Hubbard, Tully Kennedy, Ben Hayslip and more. The Carolina native also played guitar on every song on the LP, which was produced by John and Brent Anderson.

Born and raised in the small town of Sylva, NC, Morgan grew up playing guitar and travelling with his family playing bluegrass music. He eventually transferred those skills to songwriting, making his way to Nashville in 2019 and immediately emerging as a powerful force in the community. “One of the blessings of being a songwriter first is that you write so many different things that your catalog becomes very broad. I’ve explored all kinds of sounds and in doing that it helped me eliminate what I’m not,” Morgan revealed in a statement.

Throughout the LP, Morgan stays true to his country roots, sliding effortlessly from rousing uptempo tunes to impassioned ballads, all with a unique lyrical style. “I try to hold a standard of making sure every line counts lyrically and then once you’ve got that you can be super creative on the sound part of it,” He says. “Hopefully that comes through in this album.”

The album roars in immediately with its opening track, “Way Out Would,” a muddy and twangy celebration of country living that pairs roaring electric guitars with twang before building to an energetic climax. Likewise, Morgan’s recent number one hit is the rousing “Friends Like That,” which pairs him with Aldean. On the bromance anthem, the pair trade verses about relying on good friends in tough times.

“I’m doing alright for the shape // I’m in Sitting by the fire with some damn good friends // Willie on my left, Jack on my right // Blowin’ that smoke on a Friday night //  Waylon turned up on the JBL // Girl, you probably think I’m going through hell // But I don’t care if you never come back  // ‘Cause who needs you when I got friends like that?”

“Crickets” provides a moment of levity, a bouncing summer anthem that’s perfect for barbecues and bonfires. “It’s a very catchy song,” he says of the playful track. “You’ve got to have some meatier songs with some strong messages, but you’ve also got to have something that’s fun, something that has a really solid lyric and storyline and that feels good.”

While Morgan can roar through an uptempo or a summer romp with the best of them, he truly shines on anthemic, building ballads. This includes the gorgeous “One More Sunset,” which finds him promising his last moments to someone special. Alternatively, “Kid Myself” finds him dealing with the fallout of a relationship that was never meant to last, while “She’ll Always Be” is a gorgeous sun-soaked heartbreak ballad about the one who got away.

Morgan is increasingly romantic on songs like the swoonworthy  “A Lot To Say About You,” and the midtempo new perspective of “I Know Better.”

“Cause I know better days // Better nights A better way of living lost in your eyes // Up on cloud nine feeling things I thought I’d never // There ain’t no better smile // Ain’t no better kiss // Ain’t a memory I’ve made that compares to this // I thought the best part of my life was in the past forever But now that I know you I know better // Ooh baby, I know better”

Much of the Carolina native’s album finds him longing for home, evidenced on songs like the title track (“I’m doin’ fine, but tonight I’m kinda Carolina blue”), the soulful “Long Ride Home,” and “Without ‘Em,” a poignant celebration of the working class.  “You won’t ever see their names in lights, Most people just pass’ em on by,” He sings of the people who make the world what it is. “Might not think too much about ‘em, but this world wouldn’t turn without ‘em.”

Carolina Blue ends with “How to Get Her,” a catchy uptempo that finds him musing about knowing how to get a girl, but not knowing how to get her back after a breakup. It’s clever turns of lyrics like that that elevate John Morgan’s music above the pack, while the song builds to a great instrumental section that’s perfect for a live show.

“I hope there’s relatability in how I write,” Morgan says of the album. “I don’t try to be anything I’m not. I’ve never been good at that, and I think people can snuff that out pretty quick. I hope these songs give people a message that there’s value in whatever they are doing. Hopefully, people will just feel their worth.”

Tucker Wetmore: ‘What Not To’ – Debut Album Review

/in , , , /by

Tucker Wetmore shares his brand new debut album, What Not To, out now on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new project here.

For Tucker Wetmore, his debut album, What Not To, reflects on the pivotal moments in life that have crafted him into the person he’s still becoming. “What Not To is an album that talks about living. It’s a diary of life and what you can take away from it, if you allow yourself to learn,” he shares. “There’s no such thing as a bad experience or a bad time. It’s all just an opportunity to grow.”

For the Washington native, those experiences are on full display throughout the LP’s 19 tracks, laden with heartbreak, heartache, new love, joy, and everything in between. Wetmore co-wrote on 11 of the album’s tracks, enlisting additional contributions from Nashville writers including Tucker Beathard, Chase McGil, Jameson Rodgers, Jordan Reynolds, and more. Produced by Chris LaCorte, the album weaves through various stories that Wetmore describes “like red yarn connecting a bunch of pins on a wall.”

The album kicks off its story with “Whatcha Think Is Gonna Happen,” a moody midtempo that finds Wetmore battling with his own vices and temptations. Over a catchy beat, he admits, “It ain’t all that complicated, I just can’t turn down temptation.” Battling those external and internal demons becomes a prevalent theme in Wetmore’s story, as he deals with the bottle and his own generational traumas throughout his relationships.

 

On songs like the summer-ready “Bad Luck Looks Good On Me” and the catchy “Casino,” the 25-year-old warns a woman not to gamble on him admitting that love is a lot like a game of chance. “Casino” is a clear standout on the record, pairing a catchy hook with even catchier lyrics. 

“​​She’s a casino I’m a stone-cold joker that keeps on throwing dice //  Spinning a wheel putting it all on red but the house wins every time //  Queen of breaking my heart been counting my cards   // I should get up and leave but I won’t //  I’m a sucker for another hand // And one more dance with this damn casino”

“Brunette” is a gallop of a song, taking listeners on a journey through Wetmore’s psyche with its clever metaphor to his own battle with anxiety in relationships. In fact, the music’s near franticity crafts an incredible scene that could easily be used in a movie or TV soundtrack.

The album’s title track may be the most personal on the album, a sparse reflection of a broken family and an absentee father, as Wetmore longs to break the cycle and be a better man. “I gotta admit I don’t know what to do,” He muses, voice laced with emotion. “But thanks to you I know what not to.”

“That was one of the toughest songs I’ve ever written, but also one of the easiest too, because it just kind of fell out onto the paper,” Wetmore says of the title track. “I write from experiences, feeling, and emotion, and it often comes from a higher power that I really don’t understand. That’s how writing that song felt.”

While Wetmore shines on heartache, he can also craft a radio-ready earworm. This is evidenced on songs like “3,2,1,” “Break First,” and the sun-drenched “Silverado Blue.” While “Break First” is a super catchy ode to an opposites attract relationship, “Takes One to Break One” finds him looking for a new habit to help him break an old one.

“When I Ain’t Looking” is a gorgeous ballad about finding love when you’re least expecting it, while “Give Her The World” is an ode to a girl who’s on the receiving end of his love, and can’t quite accept it. Likewise, the mega-hit “Wind Up Missin’ You” is a breezy and thrumming ballad about an instantaneous connection that may lead to heartbreak if it doesn’t work out.

“You look like waves on a sunset //  And you can crash on me all night // You look like wine in a truck bed // A little what I’m doing for the rest of my life cause // You look like I’m done looking  But girl the hard truth is // If this night don’t turn into two //  You look like I’m gonna wind up missin’ you”

Much of the album is soaked in whiskey, with Wetmore wondering if it’s the cause of his relationship problems. Things are on and off on songs like “Whiskey Again” and “Goodbye Whiskey,” which features a musical interlude that sounds straight out of a Coldplay anthem. Likewise, “Drinking Boots” finds him one shot away from calling an ex, while “Drunk on Her” finds him nearly addicted to a woman he can’t quite quit.

The album ends on a slower and introspective note with “Wine Into Whiskey” followed by “Whiskey Again.” While the former is a heartbreak ballad, it finds Wetmore accepting blame for being the heartbreaker in a relationship. “If I was her I’d damn sure hate me,” He sings, voice full of regret. “I turned her love into pain and her wine into whiskey.”

The album ends with “Whiskey Again,” a mournfully sparse ballad that finds him battling heartache at the bottom of a whiskey glass.  “Whiskey again // I swore that I was done with you // But here we are old friend,” he laments. “Misery misery // Misery’s what I’m in.”   

“I didn’t want this album to be just songs — I wanted them to be songs with purpose…” Wetmore says of the LP. “Music makes you feel something. When I was going through things as a kid, I turned to music and it didn’t let me down. I hope What Not To does the same for everyone who listens.” 

We’re pretty sure it will do just that.
