Walter Rose - Driving South (feat. Lucinda Williams) by fanaticpro
(MOKB) - Over the last 25 years or so, the term country music became something of a joke for those who searched a little deeper for the music they listen to. Somewhere after the movie Urban Cowboy,
country music became less about telling the story of the common man and
more a commodity being sold to the masses at your local Wal-Mart.
Recently, we have seen a shift in country music towards what made the
likes of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Loretta Lynn icons in American
culture. Movies like Walk the Line and Crazy Heart
along with acts like The Avett Brothers, Wilco, and Those Darlins
embracing their country leanings has led to a younger audience of fans
open to seeing someone live wearing a Nudie Suit, Stetson Hat, or Wranglers and playing a steel guitar or having a little twang in their voice. In comes Walter Rose.
Hailing from Carmel, CA, Walter Rose is creating in his own words,
“melodic novellas of road trips trough broken-down desert towns” and the
kind of stories that bring to mind tumbleweeds blowing through old
Client Eastwood movies.” We are fortunate to have the first taste of
his debut album Cast Your Stone. The song is titled Driving South
and features the excellent Lucinda Williams. It is a beautifully
subdued number with tiny cracks of honesty in every lyric sung. The
perfect musical companion for a road trip of self-discovery. Cast Your Stone will be released on January 17th.
