NYCS First Impression: Brent Cobb ‘No Place Left to Leave’

February 10, 2020/in Blog, First Impression /by Guest Post

By Michal Pietrzak

Brent Cobb’s No Place Left to Leave is a diverse and re-issued album. It’s not just country it’s a blend of Americana, Southern Rock and a pinch of Outlaw country. All of these pieces combined to make an album that many different music fans can enjoy. As you can read in his Spotify bio “Country songs of Ellaville, Georgia Native often celebrate and mythologize rural small-town life” and you can actually sense that sentiment when listening to the project. All songs on a record are written by himself which makes it more unique and impressive. It feels like back to the basics of a good ole meaningful country song.

No Place Left To Leave is a 10-track record that starts with Americana touch and beautiful sound of harmonica followed by some country vibes then southern rock takes the lead and acoustic, singer-songwriter sounds marks the end. A blend of all kinds of instruments makes this album great and shows how diverse country music is within its own genre. If you’ve got 37 minutes, spend them on listening No Place Left To Leave.

Cobb took to social media to explain the decision to re-release the project, stating “Eleven years and 45 cuts later I’m still there making a living writing songs. It’s the last album of mine that my grandpa ever heard. Thanks to the help of my manager Don VanCleave I was fortunate enough this past year to be able to buy this album and actually own those masters myself. It’s for all of these reasons that this album is the first release on my own label, Ol’ Buddy Records. I owe it everything. Happy re-release day, “No Place Left To Leave”. Thanks for being so good to me.”

There are 3 songs are worth listening to more than just a couple of times. Black Creek is a sort of redemption song. Letting go of troubled past and asking for forgiveness might be a hard thing but a purifying. You can feel that in Cobb’s voice if you listen carefully. Warning: Slow, soft sounds and great lyrics may lead to reflections. “

“Oh, black creek, take me to that place / Wash my sins away / Won’t you wash my sins away?”

Lavenders and Loving Gestures. The title may implicate it’s a love song but it’s a heartbreaking goodbye song and soft sounds don’t make it easier. He realizes that he can’t give his dear one the love that she deserves. Therefore he tries to let her go.

“Lavenders and loving gestures / They’re just some things right now I can’t give / If you think there’s a one you can love again / But I know there is / I think you can”

Hold Me Closely. Finding love might be a challenge and deep true love is even harder to find. Everyone needs someone who will be a rock for them and a song is just about that. Simple yet beautiful. Love someone 100% or don’t. Be the light for significant other in dark times and be cheer in bright times. That the point of the song.

“There’s a place called my life / Don’t know if I can travel alone / Need someone to take me by my hand / Lead me safely to promise land / Hold me closely, hold me softly / Don’t let me fall on my own”

After a career full of creating meaningful music that his fans love, re-releasing No Place Left To Leave is the perfect testament to returning to the roots of what makes Brent Cobb, the successful singer-songwriter that he is.

Ingrid Andress Releases Confessional Instant Grat “Life of the Party”

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Lucie Bernheim

Ingrid Andress has been making quite a name for herself over the past year. Her debut single to radio, “More Hearts Than Mine” is Top 15 and climbing; she’s about to embark on tours with Dan + Shay and Tim McGraw; and she announced that her debut album Ladylike is slated for release on March 27th. To celebrate, she gifted fans an instant-grat single titled “Life of the Party”, an anthem about someone who goes out to get their ex off their mind.

The introduction is a simple piano melody, accompanied by a beautiful string arrangement that leads right into the conversational first verse. Andress lists all the things she’s doing to have a good time: she’s laughing, dancing on tables, taking tequila shots… but despite her singing, “Yeah, I’m killing it”, she admits that having fun isn’t solving her problems. In the pre-chorus, a really interesting banjo lick is introduced and is layered on top of the piano, as it segways perfectly into the chorus.

The kick drum bounces off the wall once the cinematic chorus hits. “Look at me I’m the life of the party/Round here everybody loves me”, Andress sings. “But they don’t know that I’ve been hurting/Cuz baby ever since you left me/I’ve been the life of the party”. It’s a perfect musical moment, with all the components of the song adding up to get to that very spot.

This song really shows off Andress’ vocals. She sings her heart out on the last chorus, and it’s so intense that it feels as if it’s this big emotional release like she had been bottling up these thoughts for so long. It’s authentic while being catchy all at the same time. All of Andress’ songs are relatable and from the heart, yet so pleasing to the ears.

Ladylike is out Friday, March 27th. To keep up with Ingrid Andress, follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Life of the Party” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Austin Burke Releases Dreamy Track “Desert Child”

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Rebekah Milsted

On Friday, rising country singer and songwriter Austin Burke released a new track, “Desert Child.” While it may be a song about the one who got away, it has an up-tempo beat and will have you dreaming about those summer nights.

Written by Burke, Benjy Davis, and Daniel Ross, “Desert Child” pays tribute to the Arizona native’s home state. In a recent press release, Burke shared, “It’s a song that embraces my Arizona roots. I am proud to be a country artist from the West Coast, and this song showcases that. I want to bring together all of the music that inspires me and create a new, fresh sound in Nashville.”

“And I won’t ever have another summer night\ Like the one I spent that summer\ In her blue eyes and just like that sand in her hair\ She left pieces of her everywhere\ She’ll always be my\ She said she’ll always be my desert child.”

This is Burke’s second single released since signing with Thomas Rhett’s publishing company, Home Team Publishing, last year. The first single, “Love You Most,” came out in September and this is just the beginning of what’s to come for this 2018 Artist to watch in 2020, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

To keep up with Austin Burke follow him on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line Release Wolf Moon Bourbon Line

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Rebekah Milsted

Friendship and bourbon sounds like the perfect storyline for a country song, doesn’t it? Well, country Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line are bringing the collaboration to real life with the release of their bourbon line, Wolf Moon Bourbon.

The 80-proof bourbon was aged for four years in charred American Oak barrels and distilled from Midwestern grains. You can expect to taste caramel, sweet corn, honey, and candied fruit, balanced by hints of oak and spice.

In a recent press release, Aldean explained how the idea of the collaboration came about after touring and befriending Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley in 2014. “There’s nothing like sharing a glass of bourbon with my crew after a show- you could say its been part of our ritual for years. Tyler and Brian have been a part of that ritual, and we wanted to create something to remind us of our favorite memories.” Wolf Moon’s name is a nod to the pack- the friends that become family. I’m looking forward to raising a glass with all my fans on the road this year.”

Hubbard and Kelley are already members of the whiskey world with their successful Old Camp Whiskey, which was released in 2016. In a recent press release, they shared, “Making good whiskey is a passion of ours, and we really wanted to create something new and fresh with Jason. We’ve had this idea for years and spent a lot of time making sure we got it just right. We’re all so proud of this and can’t wait for all of the memories to be made over Wolf Moon.”

While the award-winning artists are not on tour together this time around, it doesn’t mean they won’t be enjoying Wolf Moon on the road. Aldean just kicked off the We Back Tour with Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, and Dee Jay Silver. Florida Georgia Line is hitting the road with Kenny Chesney on the Chillaxification tour starting in April.

Carolyn Miller, Luke Denison & Stephanie Ryann Play The Cutting Room

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Julia Grubbs

The Cutting Room is an incredible venue for live music, only made better when hosting some incredible women of country. Stephanie Ryann opened, with “You Don’t Know Me”, a grassroots grungy country song, with a bit of a modern sound. Her song “Good as Gone” has that deep country sound as well, with an intense beat to jam to. She played “Jolene”, a classic cover, but she sounded amazing and a perfect pick for the crowd and venue. She finished with her single that’s debuting soon, “It’s Only Love”, that’s got incredible vocals, and was really catchy. Luke Denison followed Ryann, playing a breakup song, “More of Me” and an awesome guitar cover of “Ramblin’ Man”.

Carolyn Miller took the stage in an iconic sequin blazer and shorts, dolled up to look like the star she is. Without a manager or label, she does all the work herself, which you can get from her fired up spirit. She’s so grateful to her fan base, who definitely came out to support, saying that without them, none of this would be possible. “Memories” was a lovely sound, and one of her slower tunes, that contrasted with the more heart-wrenching power-song, “Unbreakable”. She’s played everything from dive bars to singing the National Anthem at Barclays and gives the same love to her fans either way. “What You Can’t Have” followed, by songwriter Lance Carpenter, which was named one of the top 15 Best Songs at CMA Fest 2019. She played “American Honey”, a beautiful cover of a classic by Lady Antebellum, then a song she wrote as her vows to her husband in the two weeks leading up to their wedding. “Summer Time” was such a fun performance, with her dancing around as if it really wasn’t winter in New York City. This Long Island girl may have her home base here, but she’s got fans across the country that support her and her music.

CMT Next Women of Country Tour Hits New York City

February 10, 2020/in Blog, Concert Reviews /by Julia Grubbs

There are tons of venues in New York City, but Town Hall is one that seems a bit grander than all the others and an appropriate place for the legend herself, Tanya Tucker on the CMT Next Women of Country Tour. Aubrie Sellers opened, on the day of her new record release, Far From Home, gracing the stage wearing a fabulous red blazer and sparkly eyeshadow. She opened with “Light of Day” from her first record, New City Blues. The crowd, slightly mesmerized by the ease she presented, might not have known her before but found a liking for her sound. “Far From Home” was next, and was even more soothing than the first. You could hear a pin drop, everyone in the crowd was so engaged.

Sellers calls her music “garage country” because she likes guitars, evidenced by her guitar player who really used all tones of the instrument and her comment that there are four guitar players on her new record. She played “Just to Be With You”, and “Worried Mind”, about her anxiety throughout her life. “Haven’t Even Kissed Me Yet” offers a raw depiction of the story that’s happening inside one’s head as they’re not sure about the future of a specific relationship. She shares a vulnerable sight into all of the emotions that come with that.

Brandy Clark followed Sellers, with her comedic and catchy “Get High”, about a girl she went to high school with. Her new album Your Life is a Record comes out March 6th, and it is sure to be a hit. “Hold My Hand” was incredibly moving, and the harmonies by guitarist Jeff Malinowski (who she met on Tuesday) were the perfect combination. Cellist Kaitlyn Raitz was also a perfect addition, giving the smooth sound that only strings can. “Daughter” and “Love Can Go To Hell” were other favorites of the night.

Tanya Tucker, a recent GRAMMY winner, has an iconic voice that is easily recognizable. “Bring My Flowers Now” was a soothing tune of the night, while “Ridin’ Out The Heartache” brought the fire and a few dance moves from Tucker. “Blood Red and Going Down” was another hit, with the beautiful back-up vocals and the entire band engaged. What an iconic night in country music, celebrating the amazing women of country.

“I’ll Still Love You” Lyrics

Oh, look at those smiles
Sun on the waves
I almost taste
The salt in the air
Oh, and doesn’t it feel
Like just yesterday
Was our second date
And I still get nervous
When you hold my hand
It still feels perfect
When you ask me to dance

When the colors fade
From these picture frames
When my hair turns gray
The seasons all change
And we’ve seen better day
Whatever this life puts us through
Baby, I’ll still love you

Oh, we’re gonna laugh
We’re gonna cry
We’re gonna fight
Oh, but we’re gonna live
Maybe have a few kids
Whatever happens
I’ll promise you this

When the colors fade
From these picture frames
When my hair turns gray
The seasons all change
And we’ve seen better days
Whatever this life puts us through
Baby, I’ll still love you

When the sun does its damage
The paint on this house turns to rust
When the future’s the past
And there’s no more breath in my lungs

When the colors fade
From these picture frames
When my hair turns gray
The seasons all change
And we’ve seen better days
Whatever this life puts us through
Whatever time tries to undo
Yeah baby, I promise you
I’ll still love you

[Listen] Jon Langston Unleashes New Single “Drinks”

February 7, 2020/in Blog /by Brianna Vacca

Georgia-native Jon Langston unleashed his latest single “Drinks” today following his previous EP Now You Know released this past October. Written by Langston, Jared Mullins, and Matt Alderman, this song made its debut about a year ago during Langston’s live sets and finally made its official debut. The 32 Bridge Entertainment artist shared in a press release, I’ve been wanting this song to be out for a long time. We’ve been playing it live this past year and the fans are ready for it too! I’m really excited for the world to hear this one.”

This song illustrates the process of going through heartbreak and post-breakup feelings. Both parties of pain are described and it isn’t always the same for each side, and that is shown. She is going out, getting back to her usual amusements while he is hurting like hell. He sings: “She’s getting drinks // She’s going out // Out with her friends // I bet right now // She’s had 3 or 4 // Raisin’ Hell, looking like heaven on the dance floor, oh // She might leave alone // She might fall in love // Either way, she ain’t thinking bout us // She’s getting drinks // And I’m getting drunk”

Langston is heading out on the road supporting Morgan Wallen’s Whiskey Glasses Roadshow Tour starting today, February 7th, in Columbus, Ohio. For more about the singer-songwriter check out our most recent Swag Spotlight with him from September.

To keep up with Jon Langston follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Drinks” Full Lyrics

She opens up that getting ready bottle of red
Cuts the overprice tags off that little black dress
Its been a while since she felt like
Doing what she’s gonna do tonight

She’s getting drinks
She’s going out
Out with her friends
I bet right now
She’s had 3 or 4
Raisin’ hell looking like heaven on the dance floor, oh
She might leave alone
She might fall in love
Even when she ain’t thinking bout us
She’s getting drinks
And I’m getting drunk

She’s hitting the town right now it’s hitting me hard
She’s getting down and I’m down in this bar
Workin’ on the whiskey but the whiskey don’t work
It’s killing me that it ain’t killing her

She’s getting drinks
She’s going out
Out with her friends
I bet right now
She’s had 3 or 4
Raisin’ hell looking like heaven on the dance floor, oh
She might leave alone
She might fall in love
Even when she ain’t thinking bout us
She’s getting drinks
And I’m getting drunk…

We both got a buzz but for different reasons
She’s all right and I’m on the left side of leaving

She’s getting drinks
She’s going out
Out with her friends
I bet right now
She’s had 3 or 4
Raisin’ hell looking like heaven on the dance floor
She might leave alone
She might fall in love
Even when she ain’t thinking bout us
She’s getting drinks
And I’m getting drunk
And I’m getting drunk

Sam Hunt New Song “Hard To Forget” Has A Classic Country Spin

February 7, 2020/in Blog /by Jeremy Chua

Fresh off the heels of his new headlining tour and highly-anticipated sophomore album announcement, Sam Hunt has released another instant-grat track ahead of the April 3rd release.

“Hard To Forget” samples the timeless Webb Pierce classic “There Stands The Glass” both in the intro and outro of the song, and is enhanced by production beats and fades. Upon first listen, one might wonder if they ended up playing the wrong song— but Hunt’s vocals come in 33 seconds after.

Penned by Hunt, Shane McAnally, Ashley Gorley, Josh Osborne, Luke Laird, Audrey Grisham, Mary Jean Shurtz, and Russ Hull, this upbeat, foot-tapper is a refreshing take on the typical post-breakup heartache narrative.

“You’ve got a cold heart and the cold hard truth / I got a bottle of whiskey but I’ve got no proof / That you showed up tonight in that dress / Just to mess with my head / So much for so long, out of sight, out of mind / Girl you’re looking so good, it’s driving me out of mine / Aw you’re breaking my heart / Baby you’re playing hard to forget”

Although Hunt laments the pains of a failed relationship and his susceptibility to being mesmerized, what makes this song uniquely Sam Hunt is his signature country-pop-R&B-rap spin, blended with some traditional country sounds from Pierce’s hit.

It’s been a while since artists sampled classic country songs the way the 35-year-old did on this song. Was it a success? Yes— we’d say so, because it’s been on repeat for us!

Hunt announced earlier this week that he is heading out on the Southside Summer Tour with Kip Moore, Travis Denning, and Ernest. More info and tickets here.

To keep up with Sam Hunt, you can find him on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

“Hard To Forget” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

“Hard To Forget” Lyrics

First stands the glass
That relieves all my pain
That will settle my brain
It’s my first one to take
First stands the glass
That-that relieves all my pain
That-that will settle my brain
It’s-it’s my first one to take
Hey

I saw your sister at work
I saw your mama at church
I’m pretty sure I saw your car at the mall
I see your face in the clouds
I smell your perfume in crowds
I swear your number’s all my phone wants to call

It’s kinda funny how I can’t seem
To get away from you
It’s almost like you don’t want me to

You’ve got a cold heart and the cold hard truth
I got a bottle of whiskey but I’ve got no proof
That you showed up tonight in that dress
Just to mess with my head
So much for so long, out of sight, out of mind
Girl you’re looking so good, it’s driving me out of mine
Aw you’re breaking my heart
Baby you’re playing hard to forget

Told me to leave all your things
Out on the porch on the swing
You’d come and grab them by the end of the week
It’s just some jeans and a shirt
But it’s a whole lot of hurt
I think I know why you’ve been dragging your feet

Ain’t it funny how I can’t seem
To get away from you
It’s almost like you don’t want me to

You’ve got a cold heart and the cold hard truth
I got a bottle of whiskey but I’ve got no proof
That you showed up tonight in that dress
Just to mess with my head
So much for so long, out of sight, out of mind
Girl you’re looking so good, it’s driving me out of mine
Aw you’re breaking my heart
Baby you’re playing hard to forget

First stands the glass
That-that relieves all my pain
That-that will settle my brain
It’s-it’s my first one to take

You’ve got a cold heart and the cold hard truth
I got a bottle of whiskey but I’ve got no proof
That you showed up tonight in that dress
Just to mess with my head
So much for so long, out of sight, out of mind
Girl you’re looking so good, it’s driving me out of mine
Aw you’re breaking my heart
Baby you’re playing hard to forget

Aw honey I’m falling apart
You’re playing hard to forget

Lena Stone Releases New Buoyant Single “Personal Space”

February 7, 2020/in Blog /by Brianna Vacca

Lena Stone, one of country’s newest rising female singer + songwriters, isn’t new to the game. She’s one of the original members of the Song Suffragettes showcase and movement. She was one of the female artists alongside Tenille Arts, Madison Kozak, Candi Carpenter and more featured on the “Time’s Up” song debuted by Song Suffragettes that brought awareness to the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements. After moving to Nashville at 18 from the encouragement of songwriter Darrell Brown, Stone has penned over 600 songs in the last few years including Kalie Shorr’s “Two Hands” and “Fight Like A Girl.” Today, she dropped her new single “Personal Space” following her latest release “Kids These Days” in July of 2019 and her self-titled EP in 2018.

“Personal Space” inaugurates with an instant chordal guitar ear-worm that sustains throughout the mix. The Carlisle, Massachusetts native is begging for her loved one to get all up in her personal space. She wants him to ask about her mama and her past relationship drama. How she takes her coffee, although fun fact: she’s never had a cup of coffee, and all about her favorite records.

She sings: “I want to show you all, my favorite records // Hang out with you in my, old navy sweatshirt // If I’m being honest, I’m never this honest // So ask me my biggest secret // Baby, I know you’ll keep it // Let me, let you get close // I want you all in my personal space. // I wanna wake up with you everyday // You should be mine, every night // Walk through my door and stay // I want you all in my personal space.

“‘Personal Space’ is such a fun, flirty song and it seemed like the perfect song to release just before Valentine’s Day,” expressed Stone in a press release. “I loved writing this song and flipping the idea of personal space on its head to tell someone you care about them and want them close to you.”

Although it’s winter, summer love jam vibes are screaming all over this piece and will wash your winter blues away.

To keep up with Lena Stone follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
