More New Whiskey Myers Music: ‘Hard Row to Hoe’
In February Whiskey Myers will release their third studio album, and first since 2011. "Firewater," their most recent project was a Southern Rock at it's core -- and the task of following it up will be tough.
Hear a sample of Reckoning, Home, and Early Morning Shakes, off their forthcoming 2014 project:
But, judging solely from the teasers the guys have been feeding us the past few months, their latest radio single -- it would appear "Early Morning Shakes," out Feb. 4, is definitely up to the task of following what became a definitive Whiskey Myers album.
The Dave Cobb produced album, "Early Morning Shakes," is a twelve track record of dirty country and rock songs -- filled with thoughtful lyrics and hard hitting guitar solos. Exactly what we've come to expect from WM.
Today my arch-nemesis Rita Ballou from Rawhide and Velvet got to debut "Hard Row to Hoe." Check it out, here.
Last week TasteofCountry.com debuted a new song "Where the Sun Don't Shine." So happy to see these guys being embraced by so many different outlets. Here's what TOC had to say about the new song:
'Where the Sun Don’t Shine’ is a mid-tempo southern rocker about making ends meet any way you can. The track from this Tyler, Texas group is thick with guitars, organ and twang.
The next verse describes a single mom’s struggles, and things become more enjoyably sordid after that. ‘Early Morning Shakes’ draws from country, rock, R&B and psychedelic rock in addition to string band traditions. It’s their second album with Wiggy Thump Records, the follow-up to ‘Firewater’ from 2011.

A few weeks ago, you may remember, Yahoo Music got the exclusive debut of "Shelter from the Rain."
This is the first real love song I have ever written," says frontman Cody Cannon. "A lot of the stuff I write is pretty straightforward. There aren’t any hidden codes, it’s just about your woman sheltering you from the rain or hard times.
