Here’s the latest single by country singer-songwriter Angel White. ‘Down by the River’, the follow up to the well-received ‘Ghost of the West: Volume 1’, is an upbeat, feel-good song for the summer. White’s voice is smooth and clear as the song builds with energetic guitar and a great dance-along rhythm. Halfway through there’s a change of pace, before it bursts back into life for the finale.
In the accompanying video White goes down to the Santa Elena Canyon, just south of Terlingua, for a spiritually cleansing experience in the river. He sings of freeing his soul and that’s just how the song makes you feel. White says of the song: “I wrote ‘Down by the River’ due to the freedom of that place, a place of purity and a place of peace. Time stops a little bit when you’re there, there’s no worries down by the river.”
White has deep roots in Texas and its ways of life. He’s a fifth-generation Texan native and his family have raised horses there for generations. So, there’s an authenticity to his contemporary blend of country and folk, with his soulful vocal and easy melodies. A rising star, White has already surpassed two million streams – he’s one to watch. And this single is perfect for your summer playlist.
