With their sixth album, Whiskey Myers chose to do the producing themselves, and more so than any of their previous releases, lean heavy in the Southern rock direction almost exclusively, including springing for the horn section and a backup chorus from The McCrary Sisters. But exposure is only of value if you can seal the deal with music that sticks to people’s bones and feels essential. The three Certified Platinum singles and another Certified Gold one without any help from the mainstream industry verify the propulsive infectiousness that have made this band an alpha male in this space, and have also proven that Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is more of an influencer in music these days than Bobby Bones. Leading the charge on the more rock side of country is Whiskey Myers. From traditional country, to bluegrass, to Southern rock, from the land, sea and air, fiercely independent artists unwilling to compromise are challenging the status quo. It’s broad-based, multi-pronged, encroaching on the boundaries of Music Row from all flanks.

The country music revolution isn’t being pushed forward by just a few high profile dudes like Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, and Cody Jinks.
