<\/a><\/p>\nRed Dirt country legend Stoney LaRue has returned with another studio album in Onward. It is his first studio release since his 2016 covers album Us Time and his first album of original tunes since 2014\u2019s Aviator. I was a big fan of Aviator and I\u2019ve been looking forward to another album of Stoney LaRue tunes. This new record Onward does not disappoint, so let’s get straight into some of these tracks.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHill Country Boogaloo\u201d was one of the album\u2019s pre-release singles and it\u2019s a barn burner. It\u2019s a killer rocking track that takes you to a groovy honky tonk and it\u2019s bound to be a live crowd favorite. Another highlight is the Gary Nicholson cover of \u201cFalling and Flying\u201d. I\u2019ve always been a fan of this song and this version does not disappoint. \u201cEvil Angel\u201d might be my favorite track on the record. It keeps the funk of \u201cHill Country Boogaloo\u201d while adding a hint of southern gospel to the mix. The album rounds out with a duet version of Brandon Jenkins track \u201cHigh Time\u201d in tribute to the red dirt legend who passed away last year. It\u2019s a nice tribute to a singer who left us way too soon.<\/span><\/p>\n Stoney LaRue does not disappoint with this new record Onward. I only hope we don\u2019t have to wait another 4 years for the next batch of new original tunes. If you need some red dirt in your playlist this year, this album hits the spot. It has features from the likes of Brandon Jenkins and Tanya Tucker rounding out the album. Once again, I highly recommend checking this out. It is out everywhere Friday November 1st, 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n Favorite Tracks : Hill Country Boogaloo, Falling And Flying, Evil Angel, Worry Be Gone, Let\u2019s Chase Each Other Round The Room, Thought You\u2019d Want To Know<\/span><\/p>\n
