Parmalee: ‘Fell In Love With A Cowgirl’ – Album Review

/in , , /by

Parmalee’s new project, Fell In Love With A Cowgirl is out now, April 4th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.

For Parmalee, Fell In Love With a Cowgirl, represents the band’s return to its roots and a look towards its future. On the seven song collection, which is part one of a two-album set, the quartet blends its breezy country style with its pop rock influences.

Made up of brothers Matt Thomas and Scott Thomas, their cousin Barry Knox and life-long friend Josh McSwain, Parmalee has long been one of country music’s most consistent bands. On the follow up to 2021’s For You, the North Carolina natives continue down that path of making catchy pop country anthems.

Writers on the collection include members of the band, as well as heavy hitters like Ashley Gorley, David Fanning, Michael Tyler, Andy Albert, and more. “This project is getting back to the organic side of it,” Josh shared in a statement. “It’s more acoustic instruments, and there’s still slick production, but no made-up sounds. It’s real instruments.”  

The collection opens with “Feels Like Home,” a mid tempo celebration of the type of love that feels as comfortable as home. “It embodies that whole thing of returning to where you came from and finding somebody that makes you feel like home,” Matt said. “It’s got the fast beat, and I feel like most people are waiting for the train kind of beat. But we wanted to do it more like Green Day or with steel guitars and fast picking.”

“Cowgirl” is a strumming uptempo, flirting with pop beats and an earworm of a chorus that’s perfect for a high energy live show. It’s a radio-ready summer anthem, a bop for cowgirls of all kinds.

“Yeah that’s the kinda woman // Make you call your friends up and say // I fell in love with a cowgirl // I’m followin’ her curves like a backroad // The way she fit it in them Levis // Make a man never wanna go home // I only came for a minute // Now she make me wanna live it // Yeah her southern charm ain’t no joke // Thank God for the cowgirl // I fell in love with a cowgirl // And I ain’t comin’ home”

The band shows its romantic side on tracks like “Enough,” “God Knew Better,” and “Day One.” While the latter is a playful midtempo that revels in love at first sight, “Enough” is a romantic ballad about the kind of love that can’t be put into words, but is impossible to get enough of. 

“God Knew Better” shows a more introspective side to the band, reflecting on the decisions in life that led them to where they are and a special woman. “I thought nothing would settle me down, if the old me could see me now,” Matt muses. “I thought I knew best, but God knew better.”

“Beautiful” is a genre-bender, building in a way that wouldn’t be out of place on a Benson Boone record. Here, they move effortlessly from straightforward midtempo to impassioned anthem. “I just like the way that it builds from the beginning to the end, and it’s just massive,” Barry revealed. “It’s a beautiful song.”  

The album ends with “Miss Me When You’re Drinkin,’” a 90’s alternative-tinted story of being on the receiving end of a drunk dial. On the smoky yet twangy number, Matt channels heartbreak into his voice, admitting “But I miss you all the time, not just on some downtown night…,” while she only calls when she’s drunk. It’s an all-too-relatable situation and the tune is sure to top all kinds of heartbreak playlists.

On Fell in Love With a Cowgirl, Parmalee continues to do what they do best: Mix genres to create a unique brand of catchy pop country. “We’re good-time guys,” Matt said. “We love to have a good time, and that’s what we’re all about. We just hope people can sing along, smile and ride the roller coaster of emotions with us.”

Parmalee: ‘For You 2’ Deluxe Album Review

/in , , , /by

Parmalee’s brand new deluxe album, For You 2 is out now, September 22nd on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new music below.

Over two years since the July 2021 release of their album, For You, Parmalee is back with a deluxe edition, out now. Released via Stoney Creek Records, For You 2, features five new tracks, including “Girl in Mine” and “Boyfriend.”

For the band, made up of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas, cousin Barry Knox, and friend Josh McSwain, the deluxe version will feature the chart-topping “Girl in Mine,” in addition to the #1 tracks, “Take My Name” and “Just the Way.”

Each of the five new tracks were co-written by Matt, spanning a gamut of emotions, ranging from heartbreak to tongue-in-cheek candor. “Boyfriend” finds them grappling with feelings for a girl who’s with the wrong guy, as they vow to treat her better than he ever could. “You’re in love with a girl who’s getting treated badly and all you can think is if she was yours, you would treat her right and put a ring on her finger,” says Matt. “The melody and production has a bit of a Country-Punk vibe, and I think it’s going to add some fun energy and attitude to our set.”   

Likewise, “Girl in Mine” is a super catchy piece of pop country perfection, as Matt professes his love for the special woman in his life. “Baby, you’re the only girl In that picture // In my pocket // On my cell phone when I lock it,” He sings. “It’s all you, no lie // Baby, you’re the only girl in mine.”

The band slows things down on “Gonna Love You,” a rock-tinged piano ballad that’s wedding-ready. Stylistically, the track is much in the same vein as “Yours” by Rusell Dickerson or “From the Ground Up“ by Dan + Shay, and we can smell a mega-smash in Parmalee’s future. “Even if the whole world turns itself against us, I’m gonna love you, I’m gonna love you,” They croon. “Even with my last breath // the last beat in my chest // I’m gonna love you // I’m gonna love you.”

Alternatively, Parmalee struggles with love lost on “Is It Just Me” and “Wish You Never Loved Me.” On the former, they grapple with the breakup, wondering if an ex feels the same. “Do you think that we made a mistake,” Matt sings of the split. “Or is it just me?” Lastly, on the power ballad, boyband-tinged power ballad, “Wish You Never Loved Me,” they once again struggle with moving on from a broken relationship. 

“I can’t move on when all I do is miss you // I wish you never loved me at all // Somebody tell me what I’m supposed to do // ‘Cause no one’s ever going to come close to you // Yeah it’s all your fault // If I can’t be with you //I wish you never loved me at all”

Parmalee will be hitting the road with Train this fall, taking their unique blend of country-pop-rock to a whole new audience. “We’re thrilled about the tour with Train, and we’ve been fans of them and their music for a long time,” revealed Matt. “They share a band mentality, just like we do, and I feel like we’re cut from the same cloth in a lot of ways. We’re excited to play our music for their fans.”

  1. For You (Matt Thomas, David Fanning, Justin Wilson)
