The Cumberland River Project – Bitcoins & Tesla Shares

Where Wealth Truly Lies: The Cumberland River Project’s Modern Anthem

The Cumberland River Project‘s latest release, “Bitcoins & Tesla Shares,” is a masterstroke in the Country Rock genre, resonating with those seeking an antidote to today’s fast-paced, material-focused society. Franck Renfordt, the creative force behind the project, teams up with accomplished musicians including Easton Driver on vocals and Andrew Timothy on guitars, to craft a song that is sonically warm and narratively profound.

This heartfelt modern country track transcends the superficial allure of wealth, deftly juxtaposing Bitcoin and Tesla shares with the indispensable richness found in human connections and authentic experiences. With an earnest nod to the traditions of Americana, Renfordt channels the spirit of iconic storytellers like Tim McGraw while delivering contemporary societal musings. Listeners are invited to slow down, take a deep breath, and re-evaluate what ultimately defines a prosperous life. In a world constantly chasing what’s next, this single is a melodic reminder of the wealth one finds in life’s simple pleasures.


Anton Commissaris – Said, I’m Sorry

Anton Commissaris Offers Heartfelt Reflection with “Said, I’m Sorry”

Anton Commissaris invites listeners into an auditory realm of remorse and introspection with his latest release, “Said, I’m Sorry”. For every lover of Alt-Country, this poignant single promises a rich tapestry of emotive storytelling and sublime vocals. The song paints a stark picture of betrayal and regret, echoing the raw styles of country legends intertwined with a modern pop sensibility.

The track sees Commissaris at his reflective best, with a voice that guides us through a journey of apologies spoken too late. Rich fiddle lines weave alongside a pedal-steel guitar, conjuring the classic country feel, while the driving shuffle groove underscores the poignant narrative of love and loss. Lyrically expressive, Anton’s storytelling prowess articulates the narrator’s helplessness amidst lies and betrayal, capturing the bittersweet acceptance of a heart hurting by its own hand.

With this release, Anton continues to blur genre lines, reminding us that truly impactful music knows no bounds. “Said, I’m Sorry” is now streaming on all major platforms.


Scott Bentley – Fool Becomes a Rose

Scott Bentley Blooms with “Fool Becomes a Rose”

In the intricate garden of musical expression, Scott Bentley‘s latest offering, “Fool Becomes a Rose”, stands as a testament to the nuanced beauty that only seasoned artistry can deliver. Emerging from the melodic soil of California’s Central San Joaquin Valley, Bentley’s journey from psychotherapist to alt-country soft rock singer-songwriter is as profound as the music he creates. From his debut “Maggie”, etched by the deft touch of producer David Kirshenbaum, Bentley has continued to cultivate a soundscape rich with emotional depth and expressive lyricism.

“Fool Becomes a Rose” strikes a delicate balance between bluesy tinges and soulful country strains, led by Bentley’s resonant storytelling voice. The track unfurls its lush textures around themes of vulnerability post-breakup, as Bentley lyrically explores the bittersweet transformation from ‘fool’ to ‘rose’. With a career blossoming against the odds, Bentley captivates with both power and tenderness, weaving a tapestry of sound that resonates with every note. As Bentley finds his voice in music’s grand garden, listeners are invited to savor each sophisticated bloom.


Janet Devlin – Emotional Rodeo

Janet Devlin: An Emotional Rodeo of Country-Rock Craftsmanship

On the heels of capturing No. 4 on the iTunes Country Charts, the Northern Irish songstress, Janet Devlin, unveiled her audacious country-rock album, ‘Emotional Rodeo’, on November 15th via OkGood Records. Recorded in the heart of country music at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio, this album merges Devlin’s Irish charm with the raw essence of rock, painting a vivid tableau of emotional resilience and empowerment.

‘Emotional Rodeo’, co-written with notable talents such as Ben Earle and Kaity Rae, is a celebration of Devlin’s metamorphosis from self-confession to unapologetic confidence. Tracks like ‘Country Singer’ and the anticipated ‘Daddy’ encapsulate her journey through witty analyses of relationships and self-validation. Each song unfolds like a page from Devlin’s life, presenting her battles with mental health with candor and honesty, while offering a musical embrace to listeners navigating their own emotional landscapes.

“Country music has been both a soundtrack and a catharsis,” reflects Devlin. Her artistic evolution is an innovative dance through the genres, underscored by a rich tapestry of rock and an authentic country narrative, poised to resonate widely with audiences far and wide.


Rick Revel – Southern Man (In A Strange Land)

“Southern Man (In A Strange Land)” – A Rock N Roll Ode to Americana

Rick Revel, the perennial indie underdog, returns to the spotlight with his latest single, “Southern Man (In A Strange Land).” This track is a heartfelt meditation on the vanishing relics of Southern heritage, wrapped in the rich tapestry of Americana, Rock N Roll, and Alt-Country sounds that have made Revel a revered name in the annals of folk rock music. Drawing from the legendary Muscle Shoals sound that forever inscribed Alabama into music lore, Revel weaves a narrative that champions the preservation of history through the poignant strains of harmonic slide guitar and bluesy harmonica.

Celebrating 50 years as a consummate artist, and basking in a recent slew of awards, Rick Revel has penned over 1,500 songs, topping charts and sharing stages with icons like Loretta Lynn. His music, much like the songs of the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd, encourages listeners to play it loud and proud, embodying a spirit that refuses to shy away from its roots. “Southern Man” is not just a song; it is a rallying cry, a declaration that Americana culture will endure amid changing tides.
