Whiskey Myers’ Heart-Tuggin’, Soul-Soothing Strip-Back
Article Highlights
– Sugar, Whiskey Myers ain’t just a band with a cool-as-cucumber name, they be setting country music ablaze with their fresh, raw talent.
– In this latest showstopper, they brought down the house with a bare-bones rendition of “Heavy on Me” at Billy Bob’s Texas.
– Not an electronica buzz or auto-tune warble in sight, just four fellers, their heartstrings, and some mighty fine instruments makin’ magic.
– Beyond just playin’ a mind-blowing show, they were filming for an upcoming DVD project. Think of it now, darlin’, we’ll get to relive this night over and over again!
– And hotter than a July pepper patch, their new album is also cooking up quite a stir. Titled “Tornillo”, it’s showing that these boys ain’t one trick ponies, but they’re bonafide breadwinners in the world of country music.
My Take on Things
Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit – Whiskey Myers is stirring up a storm, y’all! Their soul-shaking performance of “Heavy On Me” at Billy Bob’s brought a tear to my eye and a two-step to my feet. I tell y’all, if you haven’t heard this band, you’re as lost as a cow in high weeds.
Their sound is pure, no-frills, country soul that warms the cockles like Grandma’s Sunday cornbread. And a new DVD? Sign me up faster than a skillet lick. Any chance to relive their magic is a gift from the country music gods, no doubt about it.
And darlin’, their new album’s hotter than it has any right to be. Titled “Tornillo”, it’s cuttin’ through the fluff of modern country faster than a hot knife through butter, proving they’re as real as it gets. So, do yourself a favor, grab a cold one, and let Whiskey Myers take you on a wild ride through the heart of country. But be warned – this kind of good may just ruin you for those other, auto-tune darlin’s.
