That’s it from us for another week dear reader and we leave you with a new song by a band that just about makes it through our “no cheesy country” gatekeeping software. ‘Lucky Sometimes’ is brand new from Texan trio Midland, the first track to be taken from their forthcoming album “Barely Blue” which is produced by Dave Cobb and arrives September 20th. “Dave Cobb had been a producer we wanted to work with since we first heard Sturgill Simpson’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music,” lead singer and guitarist Mark Wystrach said in a statement to RS Country. “Dave’s eclectic musical background and the way he approaches recording as an experience and not a task made him the perfect match for us. On “Barely Blue”, we feel like Dave helped us find the sound we’ve been searching for, for a long time… ‘Lucky Sometimes’ is a get-up-and-go, hot-streak, feel-good anthem for when it feels like you just can’t lose. The arrangement is sparse with a high-and-lonesome groove that crests with soaring harmonies on the hook. It’s the first song on the album and an introduction to the new sonic landscape that Midland found with Dave Cobb at the helm.” Exciting times. Please support your local Palestine action if you can and hey, this time next week we’ll have a new government, in name at least. Have a good one.
