Texas
southern rockers Whiskey Myers have
released the first single from their new album Mud.
Whiskey
Myers, the soulful Southern rockers, will release their latest / fourth
studio album, MUD, on September 9th via Spinefarm Records,
featuring the single ‘Lightning Bugs and Rain’. Helmed by Grammy-winning producer Dave
Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Rival Sons, etc.), this record sees the East Texan
outfit taking their easy style and sound to fresh levels, straddling a number
of different genres – soul, country, classic rock, blues, etc. – in the process.
The
follow-up to Early Morning Shakes (2014), Mud features ten new
tracks packed with narrative vocals, emotive hooks and twin guitar strength,
including ‘Frogman’ (a co-write with Rich
Robinson previewed live at the Download Festival) and ‘Deep Down In The
South’, a classic slice of Southern Rock celebrating a culture rich with
tradition and solid values.
Through
the quality of their song-writing, ability to straddle different
genres, plus their undeniable power in concert and on record, the band has
attracted a devoted army of home-grown fans who pack out venues, sing their
praises online, and continue to make Whiskey Myers a word-of-mouth sensation…
and that fervour is now spreading quickly overseas.

ABOUT Whiskey Myers. Loud and proud, they sing about what they know with a refreshing directness and clarity. Some call it rebel music, but it’s more like everyday soul. Their songs are stories with relatable characters and situations. Stories of celebration, of mourning, of trials and triumph. Through the quality of these songs, and the band’s undeniable power in concert and on record, Whiskey Myers has attracted a devoted army of outspoken fans who pack venues, sing the band’s praises online, and continue to make them a growing word-of-mouth sensation.
Their
full-length album, released 17 Nov. 2014, was recorded with noted producer Dave
Cobb (whose credits include Jamey Johnson, Jason Isbell, and both Waylon and
Shooter Jennings) and represented the culmination of years of dedication,
experimentation, and refinement. Visceral and dynamic, the album’s 12 songs
encompass an impressive range of perspectives and emotions – while finding the
band’s musicianship honed to a razor’s edge. And though Early Morning Shakes is
a great step forward creatively, it’s an organic one. As guitarist John Jeffers
explains, “Staying true to ourselves and to our music has gotten us to the
point we’re at. We really wanted to continue on that same track.”
