Good Will Remedy set to release single – “it’s Only Tuesday” on Tuesday 15th April

What does Tuesday actually offer anyone?

It’s a day that kind of gets lost really – it’s close enough to Monday to get a bit of overspill from those Monday blues – yet some distance from Friday and the weekend sparkle. The song It’s Only Tuesday recognises that the busy nature of life can come in waves and sometimes those waves peak really, really early and the week just isn’t long enough to cope, moreover you just can’t see the end of the week through the ‘mire’ – particularly if by Tuesday your week has already peaked, and the weekend seems a lifetime away!

Songwriter Will says on the song – “I was working in a quite stressful job, that was just so intense – all the time….and one day I had experienced one of those weeks that just start manic and continue to increase in intensity – and I thought – man this is insane….and It’s Only (insert expletive) Tuesday – and while I don’t want to encourage drinking as a coping mechanism – I certainly found myself drawn towards some ‘self-medication’ a little earlier in the week than normal to help me through.”

The track sees Good Will Remedy work again with Brisbane Engineer and Producer Jeff Lovejoy at his Brisbane based BlackBox studio and features Keyboard legend and virtuoso Vaughan Jones. The song really swings in a traditional southern rock feel and stands to be a crowd favourite for the band.

Good Will Remedy release “it’s Only Tuesday” to radio and industry on Tuesday April 8th and to all streaming services Tuesday April 15th.

“Three-Chord Town” Charted to #1 on Amazon Music in March, 2025.

I’m Rip Gerber, a 62-year-old country artist making my debut with “Three-Chord Town,” a deeply personal anthem that just hit #1 on Amazon Music. Written in the wake of my 28-year marriage ending during the COVID-19 pandemic, this track channels my journey from heartbreak to resilience after losing my father, job, health, and marriage, and moving to Nashville for a fresh start. Born on a Steinway piano-ironically a gift from my ex-wife-and inspired by a creatively charged weekend in the Bay Area, the song blends raw honesty, humor, and irony, capturing the ache of lost love and the dream of starting anew. Featuring poignant lyrics and a heartfelt “Gimmies Choir” led by my son, it’s a bittersweet reflection on life’s upheavals that resonates universally, as noted by Americana Highways, which exclusively premiered the music video by Gonzalez Media Productions.

“Three-Chord Town” is more than a song-it’s my therapy, born in Nashville’s 12 South on a chilly night in 2021, where I turned pain into music that saved me. It’s about what lingers after loss-the burdens we leave behind and the treasures we carry forward-striking a chord with anyone who’s faced life’s sharp turns. With its mix of country storytelling and emotional depth, I’d be honored if you’d give it a listen and consider sharing it with your audience.

The official music video of “Three-Chord Town” has surpassed 100,000 views on YouTube and video streaming platforms.

Shanleigh Rose – Sings of Heartbreak

And A Not So Friendly Love In Her Latest Single “We’re Not Friends”

In a multiplicity of breakup anthems, Shanleigh Rose’s “We’re Not Friends” makes its mark, capturing the hostile aftermath following the end of a not-so-friendly young love. A little bit country, a little bit pop, and just a touch of livid. ‘We’re Not Friends’ is the catchy reminder you need that your ex is NOT your friend. “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on.”

Shanleigh Rose is truly establishing herself in the music industry. Her new single, “We’re Not Friends,” will resonate with anyone who has experienced the fallout of a tumultuous relationship. The song explores the emotional landscape of post-breakup hostility,

blending elements of country and pop with a raw and intense edge.

This powerful anthem reminds us that not all relationships need to transition into friendships. With poignant lyrics such as “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on,” Shanleigh Rose effectively captures the essence of her message with compelling honesty.
“Often, people think they can treat you carelessly and have the audacity to try and call you a friend afterwards. In my case, this someone was an ex. I’ve learnt that self-respect and knowing what’s best for you are so much more important than letting your emotions allow the wrong kind of people to stay in your life.” Mention Shanleigh

The realisation only came after Shanleigh had finished penning the song. It was a hard lesson to learn, but I got a pretty cool song out of it. Shanleigh hopes “We’re Not Friends” will empower others to recognise their self-worth and determine who can call themself a friend.

Corey Colum Rides Again With New Single

West Australian country artist Corey Colum is back with new single, ‘One More Ride’, a tribute to those chasing what they love, no matter how old they get.

This rodeo-inspired track tells the story of two men – one who was originally from Home Hill station and another in Onslow, WA who, despite no longer riding saddle broncs, remain deeply connected to the sport they love.

For Corey, ‘One More Ride’ is more than just a rodeo anthem; it’s a reflection of his own journey in music.

“The whole story came about from a couple of guys – one from the station where we were living, one in Onslow – both getting a bit older but still having a crack,” he said.

“I can relate to that because music is something I love, and no matter what stage I’m on, it’s still in my blood.”

Written in 2023 after he and his family moved to Onslow, ‘One More Ride’ marks Colum’s third single release off his upcoming album.

“I just want to get all the songs out,” he said.

“The Tamworth Country Music Festival was awesome – it was great to share these songs and catch up with people. I’m already looking forward to getting things organised for next year.”

With an album on the horizon for August, Corey is eager to share his music with fans, particularly those in the rodeo world.

“I think rodeo listeners will relate to this song, as well as musos,” he said.

“But really, it’s for anyone – whether you’re still playing footy, still chasing a dream, or just holding on to something you love. If you love it, stay with it. Do it for the love.”

Rising Australian country talent, Jimbo Stokes, has gone from strength to strength into the new year; kicking off with a sold-out Tamworth Festival show and his highest streaming single to date, Hold On Let’s Go. Off the back of these successes, Jimbo Stokes releases his epic new single, Made Up Mine.

As Jimbo describes the new track, “Made Up Mine is a unique track, full of attitude and a bit of cheek with the sense of frustration building with the music.- I think anyone fallen victim to the mixed message might empathies here – I wanted to make something pretty distinct with some punch, great to team up with Phil Barton on the writing and Jacky McCormack in the studio.

The Scone based country singer had his breakout year in 2023, which saw two singles (Headed Country and Atlas) rocket up the country music charts and assert himself as one to watch. The momentum will continue into 2025 with more singles planned and further show and festival dates to be added.

Australian country legend, Adam Brand releases his new single, Few Good Years Left Yet. Brandy, as he is affectionately known, has released 15 studio albums, won 12 Golden Guitar Awards and amassed over 20 x #1 hit singles.

Adam Brand returns with this heartfelt anthem in Few Good Years LeftYet featuring Brooke Supple. Co-written with Jared Adlam and Nolan Wynne, and produced by Adlam, the track blends reflective storytelling with a spirited country rock vibe. Celebrating resilience and life’s enduring spark, the song captures the essence of cherishing every moment, even as the years roll by.

“Working on this song with Brooke was such a joy,” Adam shares. “She brought this incredible energy and authenticity that really elevated the track. Her voice adds a whole new layer of depth and heart.” Brooke Supple , an acclaimed artist who has toured internationally and shared stages with legends like Sinead O’Connor and The Corrs. Brooke brings her seasoned artistry and emotive vocal strength to this collaboration.

Reflecting on the track, Brooke says, “I personally resonate with this song as a mature adult, reflecting on the good old days of our youth, yet still expressing the strength, resilience, and zest for life we have, even in its fleeting moments. It was an awesome experience to join Adam in bringing it to life.”

With its infectious chorus and genuine lyrics, “Few Good Years Left Yet” is a testament to Brand’s ability to connect with fans of all generations, while Brooke’s heartfelt performance adds an irresistible touch of magic.

Award-Winning Country Artist Cali Tucker, described last summer by People Magazine as “a blend of sweet and sassy…addictive,” is back with a new single and video, Urban Cowboy. Urban Cowboy received a limited release last summer with Holler Country calling it “a peppy pop country fantasy dancefloor filler” and since then the single and music video have been streamed over 500,000 times and is currently being played on radio stations across the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, and South Africa.

Urban Cowboy is the embodiment of all the fairytales I grew up with,” Cali Tucker says. “The video tells the story of a young girl who is transported to a magical land filled with mythical creatures, none of whom ever encountered the Urban Cowboy. Together, they embark on a journey to help her find him. It’s a tale filled with hope, adventure, humor, and the relentless pursuit of love – a true romantic comedy at heart.” Keeping things in the family, the video feature Cali’s mom, 70’s country star LaCosta Tucker, and Cali’s niece, Adelin Tucker.

Cali Tucker has had a phenomenal year by any measure. Her music has amassed millions of streams on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. She performed the National Anthem for NASCAR’s Penzoil 400 in front of eighty thousand racing fans and to an estimated television audience of over three million. Her music video, Country Couture, has become the darling of film festivals around the globe, including the New York International Film Awards, LA Film Awards, ARFF Paris, Accolade Global Film Awards, Onirus Film Awards, IndieX Film Awards, and The Las Vegas Music Video Awards where it won 4 trophies (Best Female Vocalist, Best Country Video, Best Song, and overall Judges’ Choice).

Raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Cali Tucker’s journey into the spotlight began early. At fifteen, she earned the title of Miss Teen All American and graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. She rose to national prominence on Season 6 of NBC’s The Voice under the mentorship of Blake Shelton. Now, as a Las Vegas headliner, she continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be a modern country artist.

Kaylee Bell is back with a brand-new anthem, and this time, she’s putting a playful spin on the age-old question: When’s the ring coming? Teaming up in New York with writers Zach Zadek (Tate McRae, Dasha, FLETCHER and Lauv) and Michel Heyeka, ‘Ring On It’ is a fun, feel-good, and undeniably catchy track that blends Bell’s signature energy with a fresh, modern take on classic country-pop. Tom Jordan formerly of Australian country duo Seaforth, produced the track, injecting an irresistible energy that makes it an instant banger.

Packed with infectious melodies, driving banjo, and a tongue-in-cheek attitude that would make Shania Twain proud, ‘Ring On It’ is a confident, cheeky reminder that you’ll never find something better than this. Whether you’re waiting for a proposal or just love a good country banger, this one’s for you.

“I wanted this song to feel like a total moment-big energy, big hooks, and just pure fun. Tom and I had a blast writing it, and it’s that perfect mix of playful and powerful,” says Bell.

Even with the arrival of her first child, there’s no slowing down for Kaylee Bell, who recently took the stage at CMC Rocks QLD and Homegrown in New Zealand, showing once again why she’s one of country music’s most dynamic performers. The self-made Kiwi artist has spent the last few years forging her own path, touring with Ed Sheeran and The Chicks, and holding the title of most streamed female country artist in Australasia for five consecutive years.

She made history as the first independent female country artist to receive an ARIA GOLD record in Australia in 20 years, with her viral hit ‘Keith’ racking up over 60 million TikTok plays, 25 million Spotify streams, and a US Billboard chart.

Bell’s latest collaboration sees her joining The Wiggles on ‘Say the Dance, Boots ‘N All’, a country mash-up blending her hit Boots ‘N All with The Wiggles’ classic Say the Dance, Do the Dance. The track appears on Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!, a star-studded country album featuring Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, Orville Peck, Dasha, Jackson Dean, and more.

After spending time in Nashville and working in the studio with Tom Jordan, Bell is stepping into a brand-new chapter-both as an artist and a mum. Pregnancy sparked a fresh wave of creativity, and now, as she balances life with a newborn, writing, recording, and performing, she’s more inspired than ever, with new music on the way and her biggest year yet ahead.

The Wonderfully Talented Dianne Coombes Returns With An Absolute Gem ‘Getting On With Getting Over You’

‘Getting On With Getting Over You’ is a lively bluegrass song exploring the realisation that time always takes its own sweet time when it comes to healing broken hearts – it won’t be rushed. Written by Angus Gill and Jon Weisberger, this song is guaranteed to have your toes tapping.

Hi, I’m Dianne Coombes …

I have loved music and singing since I can remember. Our family get togethers were always a musical affair as all my uncles and aunt played instruments or sang, and there are recordings of me singing at these events when I was five years old.

My Dad played in dance bands all my life and I grew up invading band rehearsals at every opportunity when Mum had her back turned. I sang with my Dad’s band from the age of fourteen at all the country hall dances and balls, although I had to be sixteen before I was allowed to sing on stage at the local RSL.

I was raised and still reside at Macksville in the Nambucca Valley, a small town with a big heart. Marrying at 21, I put music on hold while starting a family. I spent four years as a single mum raising two amazing daughters which had its difficulties, but also forged my girls and I into the ‘3 Musketeers’, a bond which is still a force to be reckoned with today.

I married for a second time to the most amazing man God put breath into and he became our rock. He and my girls encouraged and supported my return to music and during this time I went from singing at local venues, to appearing at many events and festivals up and down the Coast.

In 2016 I released my debut album ‘Walk With Me’ which contained twelve songs, eight of which were originals that I felt documented my life up until that point. To my delight, it received great reviews and won prestigious awards. 2016 was also the year my darling husband died of lung cancer and my world was shattered. Music then became my refuge, and I poured myself into songwriting in an attempt to survive my grief.

My songwriting is inspired by observing nature and the beautiful place we call home as well as my own life experience, so it truly lays me open and bare in a way that I hope others can relate to. I hope they hear my songs and feel the echoes of emotions and experiences from their own lives.

Seven years further down the track, and I have just completed a body of work that I am really proud of. My new album titled ‘Ripples’ is a testament to the privilege of experiences and love in my life and the amazing vision, songwriting, and production skills of Angus Gill. It’s a country/folk album full of stories of life and love and inspiration.

I hope you enjoy and let the Ripples go on …

Hayden Phillis Unveils Stirring New Single ‘Too Young’ Inspired by Stories Untold.

Emerging singer-songwriter Hayden Phillis returns with ‘Too Young’, a song about deep issues, heralding the release of his upcoming debut album in early May of the same name.

While the lyrics in ‘Too Young’ are not a direct retelling of real-life events, the song was sparked by a chance meeting with a former schoolmate, whose candid conversation left a deep impact on Hayden.

“Too Young was inspired by seeing someone I hadn’t seen for a few years,” Hayden said.

“They told me about a lot of things they were struggling with during high school and why they left high school early.

“Hearing about all the things they had been going through highlighted for me how younger people can go through lots of bad things and have no one be aware of it and go under the radar. So, I wrote a song around that idea with many references to the area around where I live.”

Rather than telling one specific story, ‘Too Young’ draws on a range of tough issues, many of which vulnerable young people face. The lyrics explore themes of child homelessness, drug abuse, broken homes, toxic relationships, and the spiral that can occur when one hardship leads to another.

“It was saddening and a shock to realise they were going through all of these things that I had no idea about,” Hayden said.

“It is such a pressing issue, so I wanted to add a more personal side to it in song.”

Written solely by Hayden, ‘Too Young’ is a reminder of the hidden battles many young people face – and how important it is to remain aware and compassionate.

“I want ‘Too Young’ to acknowledge how real these issues are and how you don’t really know how your friends are doing and I hope it might make people be more aware of what people might be experiencing around them,” he said.

The forthcoming ‘Too Young’ album is a deeply personal project, with several songs drawing from Hayden’s own life, including struggles with epilepsy and loss of faith and stories inspired by those around him.

“The album definitely has a couple of songs that hit home with those more personal issues – songs about my childhood epilepsy, internal struggles with religion, drug abuse, and homelessness for young people,” he said.

“With this album especially, I wanted to focus more on topics that are important.”

The album was recorded at Rabbit Hole Recording Studios with Brandon Dodd – a setting that captured the energy and emotion of live performance.

“It was pretty incredible to record with him and he and Kasey Chambers’ studio,” Hayden said.

‘Too Young’ is available now on all streaming platforms. The album will follow in early May.

We are finally hitting the road in support of the New Album – Home Wasn’t Built In A Day as the second single hits radio.

‘Pacifico In Mexico’ has become one of the most successful singles of Aaron’s career and will be a staple for the tour which begins in Nashville TN on April 11th and encompasses 41 cities across North America. We will be planning radio stops along the way in support of the single and the album and hope to enjoy some time with those great folks that have taken the opportunity to share our music with their listening audience.

Following a massive year in 2023, achieving the highest charting Australian country album of the year with ‘Any Less Anymore’, Travis Collins has charged into 2025 with the release of his 10th full length release, The Band Album. This release is off the back of his performance at Australia’s largest country music festival, CMC Rocks; and separate headline album launch show dates in March 2025.

As Travis discusses, “When I started thinking about recording this new album, I was searching for a fresh and different approach to anything I’d done before. It seemed ironic and crazy to me that I’d never actually recorded or ‘created’ music with the people who’ve played the most music with me, for most of my career – my touring band. That realisation floored me, curiosity immediately turned to creative excitement. ‘The Band Album’ was born.

In many ways, it felt like I was recording my first album. There was an entirely new energy, creativity, and enthusiasm that really shines through on this album. I hold the songs, the memories of creating them, and the entire experience very close to my heart. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

To coincide with the album, Travis drops the latest single from the new studio album, Dirty Money. This single is the follow up to the previously released tracks, Good Thing Comin’, Different Dreams and Don’t Get Me Started. Recorded with Jared Adlam in his Queensland studio, Dirty Money is about those end of hard earned working week vibes.

ABOUT TRAVIS COLLINS:

Launching his career in 2004 as a Toyota Starmaker winner, Travis Collins has had an incredible journey in country music. With nine albums released to date, he hit new highs with his 2023 album, ‘Any Less Anymore’. That release became the highest charting Australian country album of 2023, debuting at #3 on the ARIA All-Genre Album chart and #1 on the ARIA Country Album chart.

With his soulful voice and earthy sound, Travis Collins is considered one of Australia’s finest country music artists. He has a unique gift of piloting both heartfelt ballads and supercharged country-rock floor-fillers. The nine-time Golden Guitar Award winner (including 3 x Male Artist of the Year), four-time CMC Award winner and CMA Global Artist Award winner has toured alongside US megastars Tim McGraw and Luke Combs and his catalogue and various projects have amassed over forty million streams.

Ian Burns embraces life’s precious moments in ‘Just One Minute’

Singer-songwriter Ian Burns releases his latest single, ‘Just One Minute’, a song inspired by life’s fragility and the importance of cherishing time with loved ones, on March 28.

Written during a deeply personal time, ‘Just One Minute’ was influenced by Ian’s own experience of being diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma – a stark reminder of how precious life is.

“Being with the ones you love and your friends is of utmost importance,” Ian said.

“Making sure you get that time with them as much as you can – that became a priority for me.”

Apple Music has embraced the song on release, adding it to their Aussie Country and New In Country playlists.

Despite its deeply personal inspiration, ‘Just One Minute’ is an upbeat, feel-good song.

“I like upbeat songs myself, even though I tend to write a lot of slower music,” Ian said.

“I love playing the upbeat ones live. This one has some undertones about getting balance in life and making time for things that matter and that is our loved ones and the joy in our lives – that’s what really matters.”

The song also captures the unpredictability of life.

“We don’t know what’s around the corner – sometimes it’s tough, but sometimes it’s absolutely incredible,” Ian said.

“Life can be beautiful when you’ve got your friends and loved ones by your side.”

“My diagnosis never got me down, it sure rattled my cage, but I thought, ‘okay, how do I approach everything from here?’. What I try to do daily is look for the beauty and joy in everything, even in the tough times.”

Ian’s excited to perform ‘Just One Minute’ live and is looking forward to bringing it to audiences soon in solo performances and with his new band.

“I hope people enjoy it – it’s a fun song, and I’m going to be playing a lot more live with the band this year,” he said.

To celebrate the release, ‘Just One Minute’ will be launched with a special Sunday session at the Clarendon Tavern on March 30. Looking ahead, Ian is planning to return to the studio to record a new collection of songs.

This project was made possible by the Regional Arts Fund, an Australian Government program that supports sustainable cultural development in regional and remote communities in Australia. The program is managed by Regional Arts Australia and administered in NSW by Regional Arts NSW.

I have said it before and I will say it again, I am so blessed to be able to work with him. He is a monster talent and he always pulls the best out of me! My sister and I were introduced to a tequila that’s actually blue in colour “Tarantula Azul Tequila” by a good friend in Ohio. She likes tequila and blue being her favourite colour it was an instant hit! During the onset of the pandemic we joked about writing a song about that tequila. She later sent me an audio clip of her playing piano and singing a chorus. She intended it only as a joke but, the moment I heard it, I told her that’s a great song idea!

• The guitar solo performed by Jason Barry is an awesome, self described “happy accident”.

Shanleigh Rose – Sings of Heartbreak

And A Not So Friendly Love In Her Latest Single “We’re Not Friends”

In a multiplicity of breakup anthems, Shanleigh Rose’s “We’re Not Friends” makes its mark, capturing the hostile aftermath following the end of a not-so-friendly young love. A little bit country, a little bit pop, and just a touch of livid. ‘We’re Not Friends’ is the catchy reminder you need that your ex is NOT your friend. “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on.”

Shanleigh Rose is truly establishing herself in the music industry. Her new single, “We’re Not Friends,” will resonate with anyone who has experienced the fallout of a tumultuous relationship. The song explores the emotional landscape of post-breakup hostility,

blending elements of country and pop with a raw and intense edge.

This powerful anthem reminds us that not all relationships need to transition into friendships. With poignant lyrics such as “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on,” Shanleigh Rose effectively captures the essence of her message with compelling honesty.
“Often, people think they can treat you carelessly and have the audacity to try and call you a friend afterwards. In my case, this someone was an ex. I’ve learnt that self-respect and knowing what’s best for you are so much more important than letting your emotions allow the wrong kind of people to stay in your life.” Mention Shanleigh

The realisation only came after Shanleigh had finished penning the song. It was a hard lesson to learn, but I got a pretty cool song out of it. Shanleigh hopes “We’re Not Friends” will empower others to recognise their self-worth and determine who can call themself a friend.

ROGER KNOX NEW SINGLE ‘PRISON WALL’ OUT MARCH 21

“Here I am behind the prison wall, where nothing makes much sense at all
All the days roll into one, I sit and wait for night to fall”

• Roger Knox ‘Prison Wall’

Gomeroi songman and storyteller AKA the Koori King of Country, Roger Knox has announced the release of next single ‘Prison Wall’ on March 21, ahead of his appearance at Garinji Dandibara Djanaan in Toowoomba on April 4.

A co-write with collaborator Jon Langford, the Chicago-based artist and songwriter (Mekons, Waco Brothers) paints a moving picture of a man visited by his young son in the chokey. “I’ve been performing in the prisons for many years” says Roger. “It’s a place where you have to give it everything you’ve got.”

‘Prison Wall’ is lifted from Roger Knox’s forthcoming sixth studio album to be released later in 2025. A milestone release, the ‘Buluunarbi and The Old North Star’ album will be his first album containing original material.

REVIEWS FOR PREVIOUS SINGLE ‘BLACK TEAR TRACKS’:

“Roger Knox delivers a heartbreaking yet beautiful sonnet ahead of his forthcoming album”

• ABC COUNTRY, AUSTRALIA. “Black Tear Tracks” REVIEW

“This song marks the joyful return of an artist whose voice remains strong over time. For those just discovering him, it’s an opportunity to enter the world of a musician dedicated to sharing stories through music. “Black Tear Tracks” is a reminder that Roger Knox is still here, performing and sharing important stories through his songs.” – Landon Buford USA, REVIEW

“Rooted in deep, genuine emotion and a nostalgic classic Country song, Roger Knox artfully and brutally showcases his immense artistic depth on his new single, Black Tear Tracks. The track’s eclectic sound draws listeners in from start to finish of this incredibly moving and meaningful track. Knox delves deep into the special bond between mother and child and the gut-wrenching repercussions of when those ties are severed by forces far beyond our control, Knox’s tender vocal provides the perfect backdrop and sounding board for this painfully genuine track. Knox’s vocal perfectly fits the song’s vibe and tenor adding yet another dynamic layer to this intense track.”

• WORLDS OF COUNTRY, USA. REVIEW

“Known as the Koori King of Country, Australia-based Knox enters 2025 with his original track, ‘Black Tear Tracks’. A labour of love, the song was penned by Knox, Toby Marti and Jason Walker in 2015; however, it sees the light of day as the first original song from the acclaimed Knox a decade later. Produced by Nicolette Dixon and Toby Martin, ‘Black Tear Tracks’ shows duality in its sophisticated elegance but simultaneously raw vulnerability. It offers simplicity and barebones starkness but is wrapped within a kaleidoscopic rush of music.” – THE OTHER SIDE, GERMANY. REVIEW

CHARLEY CROCKETT RELEASES NEW ALBUM LONESOME DRIFTER – OUT NOW VIA ISLAND RECORDS

CO-PRODUCED BY CROCKETT AND MULTI-GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNER SHOOTER JENNINGS

“[LONESOME DRIFTER] SHARES A DEVOTION TO TRADITION WITH MUSIC BY TYLER CHILDERS AND STURGILL SIMPSON EVEN AS IT SHOWCASES CROCKETT’S LARGER-THAN-LIFE PERSONA.”

• LOS ANGELES TIMES

Today, GRAMMY Award-nominated artist Charley Crockett releases his much-anticipated new album Lonesome Drifter, his first release for Island Records. Listen HERE . Recorded over 10 days in March 2024 at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles and co-produced by Crockett and GRAMMY®-winner Shooter Jennings, Lonesome Drifter finds Crockett continuing to refine and expand his “Gulf & Western” sound. Crockett’s encyclopedic knowledge of various strains of American music – country, folk, soul, blues, R&B, rock & roll, and more – are put through his singular prism. At the core of it all is Crockett’s songwriting, offering hard-won insights from a remarkable, and at times unbelievable, life. “I’d like to be known as a storyteller,” Crockett explains. “I’m trying to tell good, true stories in song.”

Crockett has already given his constantly expanding fan base a taste of Lonesome Drifter, releasing the title track “Lonesome Drifter,” “Game I Can’t Win,” and a retooling of fan favorite “Jamestown Ferry” ahead of the album’s release. Inciting tastemaker applause, Rolling Stone christened him “eternally prolific,” while NPR profiled him in-depth and marveled at how his work ethic “might even win him a GRAMMY®.”

Check out the full tracklisting below. Watch the “Night Rider” music video HERE.

In the leadup to release, Crockett engaged his audience by notably giving away 100,000 copies of a four-song sampler of Lonesome Drifter as a way to pay homage to his journey as a working musician. In addition to the CD sampler giveaways, special Lonesome Drifter listening parties took place at 132 independent records in 41 states.

Crockett will launch a special series of in-store performances this month, including tonight March 14th, at Waterloo Records in Austin, TX; March 15th at End of An Ear Records in Austin, TX; March 19th at Josey Records in Tulsa, OK; and March 22nd at Good Records in Dallas, TX.

Over the years, he’s kept his head down and delivered music at a relentless pace, refining his “Gulf & Western” sound and playing just as hard on the road to boot. Notably, “Lonesome Drifter” marks his 15th LP, major label debut, and first release as part of the “Sagebrush Trilogy.”

All of that work and life effectively prepared him to record Lonesome Drifter with Jennings. Musically, he traces a roadmap through his own myriad of influences, tipping a hat to everybody from Waylon Jennings, Bill Withers, Bob Dylan, and Woody Guthrie, drawing on countless, often unbelievable true experiences since he first left his native Texas. From the spellbinding vocal performances to the raw and rustic instrumentation to the unforgettable storytelling, Lonesome Drifter stands out as his most cohesive body of work to date. As such, the album is the sound of dues paid, strength gained, and wisdom earned shared on tape.

Crockett’s dance card for 2025 continues to fill up. In addition to the first round of “Lonesome Drifter Tour” dates announced last week, he will play his biggest headline show to date at NRG Stadium as part of the 2025 Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo on March 17th.

ABOUT CHARLEY CROCKETT:

Some people politely wait for their turn, ask for permission, and take a shot at their dreams when the opportunity allows. Charley Crockett isn’t one of those people. He’s never just waited around, asked for permission, or let opportunity find him. Instead, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated Texas-born maverick defied the odds at every turn, tapping into a rebellious strain of country, releasing 14 albums independently, and grinding from obscurity to selling out some of the world’s most renowned venues. As Pitchfork points out, “in the decade it took Crockett to brush country stardom, the bygone era of music he loves and embodies arrived in the modern age. He is a key player in deciding where it will go next.” He has continuously pushed forward too. Since 2015, he has paved a singular path out of Texas. Beyond garnering hundreds of millions of streams, he picked up his first GRAMMY® nod for 2024’s $10 Cowboy. In the last year alone, he notably sold out Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, CA and two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Crockett and his music have also received praise from The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and Variety. Speaking to his impact, CBS Mornings chronicled his journey, and he’s sat down for an interview on The Daily Show. Plus, he’s graced the stage for performances on Austin City Limits, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS “Saturday Sessions” in addition to playing behind NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk.” With multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning Shooter Jennings as co-producer, the same unapologetic spirit, diehard work ethic, and no-nonsense honesty drive Crockett’s Island Records debut LP, Lonesome Drifter.

Scarlet’s Way are turning up the heat with their brand-new single, House of Cards, set for release on March 14th! With a lively honky-tonk feel and an irresistible boot-scootin’ beat, this track is all about shaking off what’s holding you back and having a damn good time doing it!

Packed with attitude and a playful edge, House of Cards takes a fun twist on leaving behind something, or someone, that’s just not worth the trouble. It’s a bold track that reminds us that those who think they’re untouchable might just be one wrong move away from watching their House of Cards come tumbling down. With its infectious energy, House of Cards is a must-add to your party playlist!

“We’re so excited for you to hear ‘House of Cards’! It’s nice for something fun to come out of a negative experience – gotta love that about music!”

Their momentum skyrocketed with the wins for ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Group of the Year’ at the 2024 WA Country Music Awards, solidifying their place as one of the most exciting acts in the scene.

Scarlet’s Way has shared stages with industry legends like Ian Moss, Kasey Chambers, Kip Moore, Amy Shark, and The Choirboys. Their ability to captivate crowds with their intoxicating mix of Country Rock and Blues-driven grit has drawn fans at notable festivals including Americana Fest in Nashville, The Gympie Music Muster, and more.

Their recent EP, Scarlet’s Way 3, launched to rave reviews, and their remarkable career continues to soar with every performance. From their empowering single Ride On hitting #7 on the AIR Independent Charts to their self-titled album and top-charting single Empire, Scarlet’s Way continues to build their legacy, with a 3-month national tour in 2023 further cementing their status as a must-see act.
