Nashville rockers Country Westerns have shared a new track “Speaking Ill of the Blues” from their sophomore LP Forgive The City, due April 28, 2023 via Fat Possum Records. Marking the band’s second full-length release for Fat Possum, Forgive The City is also their second to be helmed by famed producer Matt Sweeney (who also contributes his lead guitar stylings to a few tracks).
“It’s the most chill song on the record,” says frontman and guitarist Joseph Plunket. “It’s about the back and forth between bad and worse and making a reach for the good.”
Because no eagerly-awaited album release would be complete without shows all across the nation, Country Westerns will head back out on the road for a second time with the kindred spirits in indie rock heroes Titus Andronicus. See below for the full list of upcoming Country Westerns performances.
