Whiskey Myers' 'Mud' Debuts at #4 on Country Charts

"If Anyone Is Going To Save Country Music, Whiskey Myers Is A Very Hot Contender For The Job" (Vice Noisey)

 

Whiskey Myers "big and bold" (Rolling Stone) new album 'Mud' (out now via Thirty Tigers) has debuted at #4 on the Billboard Country Charts. Recorded with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell), 'Mud' is a showcase of "stellar songwriting and musicianship to match" (Austin American-Statesman). The album also debuted at #6 on the Americana chart, #11 Indie, and #17 Rock.

'Mud' is a natural extension of the band's raucous live sound and their dedicated approach to songcraft, from the ominous backroads buildup of album opener "On The River" to the screaming guitars on the Rich Robinson (Black Crowes) co-write "Frogman," a desert-rock blues told from the perspective of a Navy SEAL missing the comforts of his southern home. Lead singer Cody Cannon emerges as a startlingly versatile songwriter, equally adept at writing a rollicking tribute to the country gateway drug that is Hank Williams ("Hank") or a stately piano ballad that climaxes in a smoking hot twin guitar solo ("Stone"). And "Trailer We Call Home" proves Cannon has a gift for painting a portrait of working class struggles and the redemptive power of home.

Whiskey Myers are on the road now. Tour dates below.
