With an intro that’s ominous with its shuffly beat, “Vampires” is a song about those times in the past when things didn’t seem quite right. Brad Byrd has a powerful joyous singing voice in the high registers, and this song captures just exactly the spirit of the poor judgement of youth.

Lexington, Kentucky-born, Los Angeles-based country singer and songwriter Nicholas Mudd has a new album out.

Whether your question is where country music came from, or where it has gone, the answer is contained in this record.
Kyle Daniel has been weaving his high-and-mighty pot singalong “A Friend With Weed” into his live shows for the past few months, but the song received its more official debut on Friday night in Nashville, just in time for 420.
