This week’s crop of new music finds Luke Combs and Bailey Zimmerman pairing up on a hard-charging anthem about grit and determination. Elsewhere, Trisha Yearwood offers up new music, from her forthcoming first album in six years, while HARDY, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Jedd Hughes and Mason Via also issue meshes of country, rock, blues and/or bluegrass on new songs.
Bailey Zimmerman feat. Luke Combs, “Backup Plan”
Zimmerman just logged a Billboard Hot 100 top 5 hit with his BigXThaPlug collaboration “All the Way,” and he quickly follows by teaming with fellow country hitmaker Luke Combs — this time on a hard-charging, motivational anthem about tuning out naysayers in favor for chasing one’s own ambitions. Combs’s full-bodied vocal is a natural for this type of commanding track, while Zimmerman cranks up the vocal energy to another level. The two filmed the video for “Backup Plan” live at Stagecoach Country Music Festival in California, when Zimmerman made a guest appearance during Combs’ Sunday evening set.
Trisha Yearwood, “Bringing the Angels”
Three-time Grammy winner Yearwood is set to return with her first album in six years with the July 18 release of The Mirror, which also features Yearwood as a writer on all of the set’s songs. She offers a stellar preview on that album with this bluesy-rock fueled number, as careening guitars and soulful gospel choir vocals aid in giving a vigorous reminder of Yearwood’s emotional and vocal firepower, as she calls on the support of a higher power as she rails against haters and doubters. Yearwood wrote “Bringing the Angels” with her sister Beth Bernard, as well as writers Leslie Satcher and Bridgette Tatum.
HARDY, “Girl With a Gun”
From his newly released EP Country! comes this ballad that finds HARDY singing about allaying the fears of a lover concerned that his night out with a group of friends could lead to infidelity–but he’s quick to bring a reminder of his undying devotion, plus, he’s aware his lover knows her way around a firearm and cheating could lead to deadly consequences. “You really think I’d teach you to shoot it/ If I was gonna be the reason you’d use it,” he sings, bringing a track that manages to be both the EP’s most tender — yet ominous — song, while also highlighting HARDY’s signature way with making a lyric both powerful and unexpected.
Rebecca Lynn Howard, “I’m Not Who You Think I Am”
The title track to Howard’s first album in 15 years, it showcases that her vocal prowess hasn’t diminished, and that her songwriting has only grown more nuanced and fearless. She delves into redemption (“A Good Place to Turn Around”), pleas for societal change (the twangy jamband track “Mess Down Here”), and offers boot-stomping declarations of a lover willing to fight (“Hoedown”), while elsewhere lending her voice to the full-throttle twang of “Flowerbed.” Howard is known for her powerful vocals on early hits such as the ballad “Forgive,” but on this set, she delivers an array of country-rock bangers, twangy bluegrass-tilted tracks and deeply introspective tunes with aplomb.
Jedd Hughes, “Kill My Blues”
Two decades ago, Hughes made his debut in Nashville circles with a polished, bluegrass-inflected project that demonstrated his skills as a triple threat singer-songwriter-guitarist. Since then, he’s proven an in-demand studio and touring musician and an ace artist in his own right. “Kill My Blues” is featured on Hughes’ new album Night Shades, and an older co-write with revered artist Guy Clark. The pristine production and layered instrumentals kick this bluesy-rocker up a notch, and proves Hughes’s expressive singing as well as his towering instrumental talents.
Mason Via feat. Ronnie Bowman and Junior Sisk, “Oh Lordy Me”
Via has forged several sterling stints in bluegrass and Americana circles, including work as the youngest member of Old Crow Medicine Show, and writing songs for Del McCoury Band’s album Almost Proud as well as Molly Tuttle’s City of Gold. Via continues etching his own musical path with his new project, which includes a stellar collaboration with bluegrass titans Ronnie Bowman and Junior Sisk on “Oh Lordy Me,” a piece that simultaneously nods to bluegrass tradition while feeling progressive and boundary-less. Fiddle, mandolin, banjo and the singers’ bright harmonies wrap around this celebration of rural living, from taking in the mountain air and lush scenery, to taking pride on one’s station in life, regardless of financial position.
