Kellen of Troy Issues a “Posthumous Release (In Lieu of Flowers)” (premiere)

Kellen of Troy
Kellen of Troy

Kellen Wenrich was five-years-old when he first picked up the violin as his instrument of choice. Since those early formative moments, he’s found international acclaim as an integral part of Apache Relay. Though that band has since dissolved, Wenrich’s musical journey continues with a project of his own, Kellen of Troy. His debut full-length, Posthumous Release, is coming out on 16 February. Prior, however, his newest, vibrant folk-rock is first finding a home at PopMatters in the form of the album’s titular single.

“Posthumous Release (In Lieu of any Flowers) is about somebody that I used to know,” Wenrich tells PopMatters. “Life happens and people grow apart; specifics beyond that aren’t really important to me anymore. I’m sure whatever you discern about the tune is somewhat accurate to what the song’s about.”

“Jimmie Haskell was a huge influence on the strings and horns chart I wrote for this tune. In case you don’t know who that is, Jimmie was a prolific composer and arranger who, most notably to me, did some if not all of the arrangements on ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’. He also worked with Elvis, the Everly Brothers, and countless others.The chamber music instruments you hear on this song are admittedly my best attempt at copping his style; obviously, my charts fall far short of his, but I hope the influence is apparent.”

Playlist: Ross Cooper culls his vast icons & influences

Ross Cooper

Everyone’s got their idols, those trailblazing rabble-rousers who leave such an indelible mark on us, we begin to radiate those same traits. A Lubbock, Texas native, Ross Cooper, a former professional horseback rider, draws upon a wealth of some of country’s finest. From Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark to Ryan Bingham, Hayes Carll and The Damnwells, his style is distinct but familiar, expansive but intimate, dusty but polished. As a result, he decided to curate a playlist for B-Sides & Badlands, dropping today, called Amalgam of Influence: Songs & Songwriters That I Love.

This hodgepodge of influences is in full vibrancy on his new record, titled I Rode the Wild Horses (out March 9), which curls his fingertips around his most personal songwriting to-date and presses down on traditional fair, pedal steel and guitar framed on top. The titular cut has a particularly striking backstory, too. “I wrote the song as an ode to the west Texas rodeo-cowboys that I grew up around. Truly the last of a dying breed. There are a lot of small towns around where I’m from, and a lot of them dry up, or the city grows around them.  It’s sad to see,” he explains.

“But then you have these old cowboys who are basically the last of the hardasses. When everything else is changing around them, they don’t. They’re revered and respected, because they were something in their heyday, and unfortunately, the majority of people around them have no idea.”

Video Premiere: Derek Hoke’s Southern Gothic ‘Little Devil’ is an Enchanting Slow-Burner

There’s a brooding darkness that comes with Derek Hoke’s latest album, the ominous Bring The Flood. For much of the record, the East Nashville singer-songwriter dives deep to examine the unease, gloom and struggle found within America’s modern experience.

“It seemed like a dark cloud coming over America, watching a lot of people hurting, going through hard times, harder than ever,” says Hoke.

On Hoke’s Tom Petty-tinged “Little Devil,” he sets up a slow-burning southern groove. Hoke may open with lines like “I’ve been hypnotized by your skin,” but it’s us who are left paralyzed by the pulsing beat that creeps on through with ease. A sharp slide guitar pierces throughout letting in flashes of light in Hoke’s otherwise dead-end small town.

In the video, Hoke and company set up shop in that dead-end town for a sultry southern gothic tale. At times, it ventures into psychedelic trances brought on by Hoke’s slide guitar chops. But again, it’s the Petty-tinged piano groove that keeps everything from departing too far off the trail. Hoke’s southern croon is unwavering as he calls out on the entrancing tale of lust.

“Little Devil” features acclaimed drummer Matt Chamberlain and North Mississippi Allstars’ Luther Dickinson on slide guitar, while Nashville’s own Aaron Lee Tasjan also joins in on backing vocals.

Bring The Flood is available now.

Review: R. Finn collects the blues & his memories on debut album, ‘Collecting Trip’

R. Finn
R. Finn

Singer and songwriter R. Finn supplies his own reflections of folk tradition, having mounted a makeshift collecting trip for his new record, aptly titled Collecting Trip. Over the span of 10 years, his journey is a bit more intimate, centered on personal heartache, pain, loss and observations of the world. “Life is just a lonely street / So, shake the dust off of your feet, and roam / Go it alone,” he describes on honky-tonk blues ditty “Lonely Heart Blues,” front-porch swingin’ with horns and saloon-style piano crescendos. “Come and go just as you please / Drink of all life’s pleasantries and get stoned / Go it alone.”

Joined with co-producer Jim Keltner, an iconic session drummer known for his work on Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Neil Young records, Finn converted a crumbling industrial factory into the Heritage Recording Co., modeled after ’50s and ’60s spaces, and set to work on his debut LP. “What I enjoyed most about [this album] is to get to continue to be a student of a craft I enjoy so much,” Finn said of the album, which is touched by smokey, trembling nuances from such talented musicians as Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers), Sean and Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek), Reeve Carney and guitarist brother Zane, Madison Cunningham and Anna Nalick. The 10-song record heaves and sighs with the weight of tremendous sadness. “She’ll stick like a disease, then bring you to your knees/ Leave you begging, please, for the hard times again,” Finn sobs into twisting chain rhythms, akin to hard labor of the Industrial Revolution, muggy and thick on the forehead. It’s got the scent of Appalachian music, dressed up with Finn’s rare approach.

Las Vegas Weekly includes CHEAP TISSUE in their roundup of “Three Shows to Consider This Week.”

Cheap Tissue Loud, snotty and full of attitude, this Lolipop Records’ four-piece brings an abrasive, raw energy to everything it touches. Head to the band’s Soundcloud to hear “Bag and Number,” a venomous song about LA’s drug-addled barflies, before the group hits Beauty Bar on Friday with fellow LA punks Zig Zags. On the fence? Cheap Tissue has opened for punk grandfathers The Vibrators, which should warrant the ticket price alone. Fans of classic punk should plan their Friday night around this one. With Bounty Hunter Brothers. February 2, 8 p.m., $10. –Leslie Ventura READ MORE…
