Whiskey myers cracked#
The album cracked the Top 10 on the Billboard Country Chart, a remarkable feat for a fiercely independent band and a testament to their rigorous DIY work ethic and endless supply of passion and drive. They built up a rabid local following on the strength of their 2008 debut album, ‘Road Of Life,’ and then notched their first #1 on the Texas Music Charts with their 2011 follow-up ‘Firewater.’ It was ‘Early Morning Shakes,’ though, that introduced the rest of the world to what Texas already knew. The tight-knit group’s roots stretch back decades into the red dirt of East Texas, where Cannon, Jeffers, and Tate first began playing together before rounding out their initial lineup with the addition Hogg and Brown (who is Cannon’s actual cousin). “There’s less room onstage now, but sometimes a family grows.”Ī glance through Whiskey Myers’ lyrics will show you that Cannon is a man who chooses his words carefully, so it’s little surprise that he describes the band as a family. “They bring a great energy, and I think it’s really helped our sound and makes the band more versatile,” explains Cannon.
For the recording sessions, the band’s five founding members-Cody Cannon on lead vocals and guitar, Cody Tate and John Jeffers on guitars, Gary Brown on bass, and Jeff Hogg on drums-fleshed out their sound with the addition of fiddler/keyboard player Jon Knudson and percussionist Tony Kent, who are both now full-time members. While their approach to the music and humble, hard-working attitudes may not have altered, there have been developments in the Whiskey Myers world, most notably with the arrival of new faces.
You’d be forgiven, then, for expecting things to work a little differently this time around when the band reunited with acclaimed producer Dave Cobb for their stellar new album, ‘Mud.’ But as it turns out, success doesn’t change a Southern gentleman, and they don’t come any more Southern than Whiskey Myers.įueled by larger-than-life performances honed tight from countless nights on the road, ‘Mud’ finds the band scaling new heights of songwriting and musicianship, with searing guitars, soulful vocals, and indelible hooks. Over two whirlwind years, the gritty Texas band hit #1 on the iTunes Country Chart with their breakout third album ‘Early Morning Shakes,’ earned raves everywhere from Rolling Stone to USA Today, and toured the US and UK relentlessly, slaying massive festival crowds and sharing stages with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr., Jamey Johnson, and more along the way. It would be an understatement to say that a lot has happened since Whiskey Myers was last in the recording studio.
