Self-Titled Collection to Hit June 5
Nashville, Tennessee – In mere weeks, The Desert City Ramblers have made significant waves on the music scene with the release of their “Hillbilly Rollin’ Stone” single. The six-man band today announced their self-titled debut EP will be released on Crane Kick Records on June 5, 2020.
“These five songs best represent who we are as a band,” said lead singer and principal songwriter Brian McComas. “Anyone hearing this music will immediately have a sense of where we come from and where we’re going, and we hope there will be a lot of people along for the ride with us.”
The songs on The Desert City Ramblers EP are hard to pin a label on. Each one combines a gritty Southern rock edge and blistering musicianship with the kind of compelling storytelling that is the foundation of old school country music. Joining McComas on the record and on stage are guitarist Scotty Bratcher, keyboard player Andy Smith, bassist Kieran Cronley, drummer Matt Salvo and guitarist Bart Walker (who also plays in Hank Williams Jr.’s band.)
The Ramblers’ passion for playing bursts from the speakers on raucous anthems like “Red Moon (On The Rise),” a cautionary tale about a woman who may be more trouble than she’s really worth and on “Gypsy Angel,” a tour de force love song with an edge that came together uncharacteristically fast. “Comin’ Home” is a tribute to the importance of deep roots when pursuing an elusive dream, and “Hillbilly Rollin’ Stone” and “Me and My Friends” are anchored in a boisterous swagger.
