Within the country-rock scene, it is robust to pinpoint who’s had essentially the most important affect over time. You would argue it is Cross Canadian Ragweed, Treaty Oak Revival, Whiskey Myers, or Koe Wetzel, who’s had mainstream success just lately. Nonetheless, for my cash, Southall is a band that deserves simply as a lot consideration. With 4 strong country-rock albums and influences on artists like Wetzel, they’ve confirmed to be a drive to be reckoned with.
It began with the discharge of “Six String Sorrow” in 2015, which has remained a key piece of unbiased nation lore, alongside albums like Zach Bryan’s DeAnn, Tyler Childers’ Purgatory, and Turnpike Troubadour’s Diamonds & Gasoline. To have a good time the tenth anniversary of “Six String Sorrow”, Southall has been touring to nice success, including a number of legs to the tour resulting from excessive demand.
However that is not all – Southall can be releasing a brand-new model of the file, The Six String Sorrow Classes, which options re-recordings of seven of the album’s authentic 9 songs. This new model features a star-studded forged of options, with Koe Wetzel, Josh Meloy, Hudson Westbrook, Sam Canty of Treaty Oak Revival, and John Jeffers of Whiskey Myers making appearances on varied tracks.
When discussing the re-recording, Southall mentioned he wished to seize the texture of the unique recordings, noting that he initially produced the album for $300 in a storage constructing. As he put it, “The primary time I recorded it [Six String Sorrow], it was 300 bucks and in a storage constructing. However that is not the way in which it was sung each night time, it was sung extra like this [The Six String Sorrow Sessions], and that is what made it common.”
Koe Wetzel, who seems on “Gunshy”, gave his stamp of approval to the undertaking, saying that the file has one thing for everybody who’s loved the band’s evolution over the previous decade. As he mentioned, “What I like about it’s [that] it received each facet of the final 10 years to it, the little issues y’all have added to it. However it nonetheless has the texture of the OG that individuals f** love. I feel it is nice that it is received a little bit one thing for everyone that y’all have gathered as followers over the past 10 years.”
The Six String Sorrow Classes is ready to be launched this Friday, October 10, and with the likes of Wetzel, Meloy, Canty, Jeffers, and Westbrook on board, it is shaping as much as be an all-time collaborative album from a plethora of Pink Grime giants. The tracklist consists of:
