By Joshua Wallace<\/span><\/p>\n Last month I had the opportunity to see Brent Cobb perform live at the Due South Music Festival in Thomasville, GA. At this show, I heard a lot of this new album for the first time and it blew me away in a live setting. I\u2019m here to tell you that this music is just as good recorded as it is live. Brent Cobb has produced an album of country funk and swamp music at it\u2019s finest. This is a big departure from his previous album Shine On Rainy Day which was mostly an acoustic storyteller affair. The stories are still here and Brent can spin a yarn or two about the small town southern life, but there is a new sonic direction on this album that takes it to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the album\u2019s pre-release singles was \u201cMornin\u2019s Gonna Come\u201d which is a catchy tune about getting drunk and the morning after. It has a swampy funk riff that will have dance floors moving for sure. Another favorite is the more mellow \u201cCome Home Soon\u201d which is a southern rock ballad about missing home in small town Georgia. Another favorite is the acoustic track \u201cHigh In The Country\u201d. This track would have fit in on Shine On Rainy Day as it is avery strong southern rock inspired singer-songwriter track.<\/span><\/p>\n One of my favorites when I saw Brent live was the killer rock track \u201c30-06\u201d. It combines swampy funky riffs with some great guitar soloing by guest instrumentalist Charlie Worsham. Finally, another favorite is Brent Cobb\u2019s tribute to fallen country music troubadour Wayne Mills. It\u2019s a touching tribute that doesn\u2019t touch much on the violence that took Wayne\u2019s life, but instead chooses to celebrate how he lived. I fully believe that the little bit of Wayne\u2019s music that we have in recorded form can stand next to country legends like Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings and the more ears we get listening to his music the better.<\/span><\/p>\n Brent Cobb has released a monster of an album with Providence Canyon. The new sonic direction of this record and the live performances that will go with it solidify Cobb as a master of country funk. If you dig you\u2019re country music with a psychedelic 70\u2019s funky swamp music theme to it, get this record. I can see nothing but big things for Brent Cobb if he can maintain this kind of sound with the quality of songwriting he offers on this record. I look forward to hearing more and I highly recommend checking Brent out live if you get a chance to this year. Providence Canyon is out everywhere music is sold on May 11th, 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Favorite Tracks : Mornin\u2019s Gonna Come, Come Home Soon, High In The Country, 30-06, If I don\u2019t See Ya, King Of Alabama<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brent Cobb – Providence Canyon (2018)<\/span><\/p>\n By Joshua Wallace Last month I had the opportunity to see Brent Cobb perform live at the Due South Music Festival in Thomasville, GA.
