Tyler Farr: ‘Rednecks Like Me’ EP Review

/in , , /by

Tyler Farr shares brand new EP, Rednecks Like Me, out now, July 14th on all streaming platforms.  Listen to the new EP now.

Platinum-selling country artist, Tyler Farr is officially back with brand new music. Today, the singer-songwriter releases his brand new EP, Rednecks Like Me, featuring six songs that feel distinctly Tyler Farr.

“This is the first project I’ve co-wrote all the songs on, so this is a big step in my career for me,” shared the rising artist in a recent press release. “I’m so proud of this album and hope fans will really get a chance to hear what I’m all about.”

The record kicks off with summer-ready single, the title-track. “Rednecks Like Me” is a song that reminds us all to celebrate being American, our roots, and those who serve our country each and every day. Farr using the term “rednecks” to describe all who are patriotic, no matter where they reside. A more rugged version of a blue-collar anthem is also evident on the only collaboration on the project, “Country As Shit,” featuring Jelly Roll.

Farr continues to celebrate country-living throughout the record. On “Tell You ‘Bout That,” the singer leans all the way in. While the song is full of country staples like backroads, hunting, shooting, cold beer, and fishing, Farr finds a way to breathe new life into the topics. It is clear the singer actually lived the life.

On “Questions,” the rising artist showcases his softer side. Reminiscent of his hit single, “A Guy Walks Into a Bar,” “Questions” is an incredible storytelling song. Seemingly inspired by his role as a father, Farr pours his heart into this beautiful track, singing about all the questions his daughter may ask one day about his imperfect path.

Another standout track on the record is “Silverado Gold.” Written by the singer with Blake Bollinger, Nate Kenyon, and Katie Noel, the artist leans back into nostalgia. The song feels anthemic and nostalgic, two qualities that country music often boasts.

Farr continues the honesty with quite possibly our favorite song on the record, “First Rodeo.” The song expresses a new perspective on a break-up. While the protagonist has dealt with a break-up many times before, it is clear that there is no space for graveling, games or apologies with the demise of this relationship. The notion is evident with the lyric, “Save your games and your sorries, believe me I already know. Girl, I ain’t no damn cowboy, but this ain’t my first rodeo.”

Overall, the Rednecks Like Me EP is everything fans could want from Farr. It is clear he knows exactly who he is as an artist, and each of the six songs are the perfect re-introduction to his music and talent.

Rednecks Like Me EP Track List:

  1. Rednecks Like Me — Tyler Farr, Brian Davis, Vicky McGehee, Andy Sheridan
  2. Tell You ‘Bout That — Tyler Farr, Thomas Archer, Lalo Guzman, Michael Tyler

/in , , /by

Track45 shares their brand new EP, Grew Up On, out now, July 14th on all streaming platforms.  Listen to the new EP now.

Incredibly talented, family-trio, Track45 are sharing their brand new EP today. Since jumping into the music scene, Track45 have created a sound that is all their own, featuring killer harmonies and relatable lyrics. Their brand new EP, Grew Up On is a true extension of that.

The project features six songs including their recent single releases, “Family,” “Hate Me”, and “Last Man In Tennessee.” While “Family” is a heartfelt song about friends who turn into family, “Hate Me” and “Last Man In Tennessee” are both heartbreak anthems in their own right. On, “Hate Me,” the trio lean into all the feelings associated with a situation-ship; however, “Last Man In Tennessee,” is all about regaining your power after a break-up.

On the brand new songs, Track45 lean into different parts of their hearts and rising talents. The record’s opening song, “Drinkin and Thinkin” features similar vibes to “Hate Me,” as they sing about the effects of heartbreak and everything in between. Similarly on “PCH,” Track45 leans into the storytelling aspect of their songwriting. The song feels nostalgic and introspective.

Finally, our favorite song on the project, the title track, “Grew Up On,” speaks to everything the trio are about. The song is a true expression of love for the life they have lived so far. It feels nostalgic, relatable, and incredibly authentic. With the core message being, ‘Cause you never outgrow what you grew up on,’ Track45 shares exactly why they make country music – it was a true part of their upbringing.

Grew Up On is an incredible EP by Track45. The record showcases everything we have grown to love from the talented trio. This is only the beginning.

  1. Drinkin and Thinkin

Dylan Marlowe: ‘Dirt Road When I Die’ EP Review

/in , , /by

Dylan Marlowe shares brand new EP, Dirt Road When I Die, out now, July 7th on all streaming platforms.  Listen to the new EP now.

Since making his major-label debut in January, Dylan Marlowe has been impressing fans across the country. The singer-songwriter had a knack for creating modern music that resonates across the genre. Today, his brand new project, Dirt Road When I Die is officially out featuring eight songs.

The new EP kicks off perfectly with Marlowe’s debut single, “Record High.” On the previously released track, the singer proves how talented of an artist he is. Easily a song that any established artist would love to cut, “Record High” is one of those special songs that cement the talent of an up and coming artist.

Dirt Road When I Die EP is full of those types of songs. From songs like “Record High” to touching songs for his wife like “You Were Right (Nat’s Song)” and everything in between, Marlowe proves his staying power. On the latter track, Marlowe tugs at the listeners’ heartstrings. “You Were Right” is quite possibly the engagement song of the year.

Marlowe’s songwriting talent continues to be on full display on songs like “Grew Up Country” and “Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic).” Both songs showcase the singer’s fresh and authentic approach to music. “Grew Up Country” is Marlowe’s love letter to his hometown, while “Empty Shotgun” is a heart-wrenching, yet beautiful break-up song.

“Ain’t like there’s nothing in the tank // It’s full of 87 // I don’t think it’s what you think // Yeah, this thing runs like heaven // If you wanna know why // I can’t drive // When I climb in this truck // Yeah, it’s got a cab full of memories // And an empty shotgun”

Marlowe’s new songs, “What I Know Now,” the title track, and “Rich Kids” are impressive additions to the singer’s growing catalog of music. “What I Know Now” belongs on the radio because of its relatability and catchy melody, while “Rich Kids” is true, bottled up nostalgia in song-form. However, the title track, “Dirt Road When I Die” is a true standout on the EP. The song is a perfect accompaniment to “Grew Up Country.”

Although his career is still young, Marlowe proves with each and every release that he can hang with the best of them. The singer-songwriter knows how to craft a meaningful lyric and relays each message he writes with incredible ability and authentic vulnerability. Dirt Road When I Die EP is a solid record that deserves every fan it earns him!

Dirt Road When I Die EP Track List:

  1. Record High
  2. What I Know Now
  3. Dirt Road When I Die
  4. You See Mine
  5. Rich Kids
  6. You Were Right (Nat’s Song)
  7. Empty Shotgun (Mr. Mechanic)
  8. Grew Up Country

Shane Profitt Shares Vulnerable New Song “Still Picks Up”

/in , , /by

Shane Profitt releases new song, “Still Picks Up,” out now on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track here and learn more.

Breakout artist, Shane Profitt is one of the hardest working new artists in country music right now. The singer-songwriter creates music that feels personal to him and relatable to fans. Today, Profitt is sharing one of his most vulnerable songs to date called, “Still Picks Up.”

The new song is a reminder to everyone to stay in touch with the people we love. Profitt wrote this song after his father suffered a stroke, and he did not know if he would ever see him again. When you go through panic, fear, and sadness, after a life-altering event, it can feel very isolating; however, Profitt is reminding everyone that we are certainly not alone. He is also reminding everyone to hug their loved ones a little tighter.

“I had no idea if I’d ever see him again,” shared the singer in a recent press release.“When you’re about to lose someone that means so much, you start to reflect on the stupid fights that could have been avoided and all the things you should have said. By the grace of God, my father is okay and here with me today. So, I wrote “Still Picks Up” to remind us to call those important folks in our lives while they can still pick up the phone, because tomorrow is not promised.”

Profitt grows with each and every release he puts out. “Still Picks Up” is quite possibly his best release to date!

Russell Dickerson: ‘Three Months Two Streets Down’ EP Review

/in , , /by

Russell Dickerson shares brand new EP, Three Months Two Streets Down, out now, June 27th on all streaming platforms.  Listen to the new EP now.

Russell Dickerson can truly do no wrong! Every song he touches is a certified hit. In his brand new summer-ready EP, Three Months Two Streets Down, Dickerson proves his staying power with just five incredible songs.

The project kicks off with “Ride The Wave.” An absolute slow-jam, Dickerson’s vocals are on full display on this catchy tune. The track has summertime romance written all over it. Even though summer loves do not alway last, Dickerson emotes how it feels to just go with the flow, despite the impending outcome.

Next up, “Down on the Beach,” is the perfect summer-bop. Seemingly inspired by his beach days with his beautiful wife, the song has all the summer staples. This song is made to blast, while chilling on the beach with your loved ones or spending the day out on the water. Dickerson is coming for that king of summer with this jam.

Similar to the vibe of the opening track, “Steal My Summer” is a love song about a budding relationship. Dickerson is a pro at creating romantic songs that make us all believe in love. While “Steal My Summer” is still about that summer fling, it still has that same honesty and desirability as old-school RD tracks like “Yours.”

“Beauty and the Beach” feels like a fun pop-country riff off Justin Bieber’s popular song, “Beauty And A Beat,” in the best way. While clearly, all about love and summertime like the rest of the EP, “Beauty and the Beach” is the clear anthem on the project. The song would make the perfect addition to Dickerson’s live set.

Much like “Ride The Wave,” the final track, “SMR LV” bookends the project with nostalgia and love. “SMR LV,” aka summer love feels like the culmination of the love story expressed in “Ride The Wave.” While the song has a tinge of sadness for the ending of the season, it feels like the perfect conclusion for the stellar project.

Although just five songs, Three Months Two Streets Down will get you excited for more Russell Dickerson music to come! The record highlights all the things we have grown to love about RD and his undeniable talent, charm, and charisma.

Three Months Two Streets Down EP Track List:

  1. Ride The Wave
  2. Down on the Beach
  3. Steal My Summer
  4. Beauty and the Beach
  5. SMR LV
