Farce the Music Premieres New Track from Charlie Overbey w/Eleanor Whitmore, “Trouble Likes Me Best”

Charlie Overbey
Charlie Overbey
Here’s a great new song from Charlie Overbey, a Californian with a southern soul. It’s an anthemic mid-tempo country tune about …well, getting in trouble. What’s more country than that? Joining Charlie with some great backing vocals is Eleanor Whitmore. I don’t want to call it an outlaw song, but it certainly dabbles in the habits and misfortunes of that brand of country. Definitely a great Friday tune and a solid introduction to his forthcoming album, Broken Arrow. Give it a listen!
From Charlie:
“Trouble Likes Me Best” was written about a combo of truths from a trip to the county jail in Nashville to witnessing a couple of stoned young ladies driving onto the highway off-ramp in Los Angeles, CA.
 
David Allan Coe once said to me while touring together, “I shoulda written that fuckin’ song~!“
 
But my favorite is that my father used to say, “That’s the best song you ever wrote, son. Who wrote that?”

Farce The Music Reviews: Great Peacock / Gran Pavo Real

Great Peacock
Great Peacock
When I first heard Great Peacock’s EP a few years ago, it felt like it was the beginning of something special – an inside peek at the beginning of the rise of an obscure band.  5 years later, and it still feels that way when I hear a new Great Peacock offering.  The band’s sophomore album is no different as the band takes a slight turn away from the gentle, melodic Americana and more towards the psychedelic, Americana-tinged rock.
The last output, their great Making Ghosts album, was everything we had been promised from their self-titled EP.  It was a melodic outpouring of yearning tunes with Blount Floyd and Andrew Nelson’s voices working perfectly together.  The band toured restlessly off that album, coming to DC at least 4 times, I believe, during that time.  Around the last couple of times the guys came through, you could hear something shift in their music.  There were 2 acoustic guitars on stage, then there was one acoustic and one electric, then there were only electric guitars.  The songs began to shift sonically and jam a little more.
On Gran Pavo Real, those new sounds are apparent with the opening organ-heavy jam of “Hideaway.”  The harmonies of Floyd and Nelson are still there and the heartbreak-driven tunes are still there, but there is a shift in the tone towards a Pneumonia-era Whiskeytown.  But, never to fear, there are still hints of the old Great Peacock there – “Begging to Stay” and “Miss You Honey” being the two most akin to their previous album.

Farce the Music weighs in Caleb Caudle’s anticipated new record Carolina Ghost

Caleb Caudle Carolina Ghost baby robot media publicity pr

The thing about Caleb Caudle is he’s not what you expect, like not even sort of. Despite having friends all over the spectrum of country music, Caleb is very much doing his own damn thing.
Sonically, Caleb’s new record Carolina Ghost has more in common with 1980’s stalwarts like Travis Tritt, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson or even the Kentucky Headhunters than anything Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson. And you know what? That’s pretty fucking cool. READ MORE…

Sara Rachele’s new song “Strong As My Hands (Delilah)” premieres today at Farce the Music

FTM doesn’t usually post this sort of thing (and we get quite a few requests), but I really like this tune and the sounds of the record it’s on. Sara Rachele (pronounced Ra-kelly) is a singer-songwriter in the vein of Lydia Loveless, Lucinda Williams, and Neko Case. There’s also an atmospheric, indie quality to her approach a la Mazzy Star. You can read some quotes and her bio below and check out the premiere of her song “Strong As My Hands (Delilah)” right here. It’s also available to download for free! I think you’ll dig it.

Sara’s forthcoming album, Diamond Street, is out September 2. LISTEN HERE…
