Gibb, Wallen, Watson offer new sounds
More than two years in the making, Morgan Wallen is out with a voluminous 30-song CD,"Dangerous: The Double Album." The release includes the singles "More Than My Hometown" and "7 Summers" plus his cover of Jason Isbell's "Cover Me," which attracted attention when it was released.
"Started writing for this album two and a half years ago and had no idea what those two and a half years were going to bring," said Wallen. "I tried to put all of those emotions from that time into one album but couldn't. So, we decided to make two. The release combines more traditional and modern country sounds. Wallen wrote 16 of the songs, collaborating with Ashley Gorley, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, Rodney Clawson and close friend Michael Hardy. Produced entirely by Joey Moi, with co-production on select tracks by Dave Cohen, Matt Dragstrem, Jacob Durrett and Charlie Handsome, "Dangerous" follows his PLATINUM-certified number one debut, "If I Know Me."
Aaron Watson is out with "American Soul." The Texan offers a 10 track full-length album, produced by himself and Phil O'Donnell (Craig Morgan, Joe Diffie, High Valley and Josh Thompson). "American Soul" contains the current single, "Silverado Saturday Night," along with the first single off the album, "Whisper My Name," which pays tribute to the start Watson's career.
Niko Moon released the "Good Time Campfire Sessions" EP. Captured live from an outdoor performance around a campfire, the six-song set features Moon, accompanied by guitarist Jared Martin and percussionist Jon August, playing through songs from his "Good Time" EP as well as his latest track, the romantic ballad "Dance With Me."
