New songs for December 6th 2017

here they are:


"Midnight Train to Memphis" by Chris Stapleton: "Southern rock" might not be a thing anymore to most musicians, but to Chris Stapleton, it is! Having already stormed the adult alt radio charts with "Second One to Know" in the summer of this year, Chris is now back a second time around with "Midnight Train to Memphis", a song whose sound used to be just plain ol' country that Chris has now spruced up with more of a rock sound. The title alone of this song conjures up the typical Southern rock and country imagery of traveling down the highway (or railway) at night. It may be getting close to winter, but Chris Stapleton still wants to fire up the barbecue grills down a blazing hot road right now!


"Queens of the Breakers" by The Barr Brothers: The only other track for this week is a country-rock song as well, but more in a sentimental way than in a rockin' one. The song was actually named for band member Brad Barr's group of friends he hung out with when he was a teenager. Not exactly sure what the origin of the name "Queens of the Breakers" is, but that's not as important as the overall bittersweet nostalgia the song tends to evoke. Over the course of 5 and a half minutes, The Barr Brothers meld country, bluegrass, jam band sounds, and rock to create a yearning, winsome story in this song.
