Following three European tours, four full-length albums, and a tour schedule packed with more festivals and venues than ever before, Alabama-born and Nashville-bred band The Vegabonds are forging into their second decade spreading the gospel alternative Southern rock.
The quintet joins LA-based Blue Elan Records with the first album deal of their career. The new record, V, symbolizing their fifth release, will debut worldwide in January. Produced by Tom Tapley in Atlanta, The Vegabonds’ highly-anticipated release audibly illustrates their unconventional yet contagious genre of rock. With Americana, Country, and Rock influences, the band’s sound is one that cannot be duplicated, manipulated, or pigeon-holed. After his work producing the band’s critically-acclaimed album What We’re Made Of and the “Long Haired Country Boy” single, Tapley’s execution of albums for Blackberry Smoke to Sugarland, Tyler Farr to Mastodon, highlights the best of the band’s unique musicianship, vocals, lyrics and sound.
Today Glide is excited to premiere the new video for “Everything I Need”, one of the standout tracks on the upcoming album. The song takes on a sort of desert meets surf rock vibe and the band spaces out with psychedelic instrumentals and an insanely catchy chorus. The song is vaguely reminiscent of Tom Petty and even Chris Isaak but with a tinge of Southern boogie. There’s also a fiery guitar solo that leads into a spacier, slower groove and captures the depth of what The Vegabonds are truly capable of. The video also features some real cool animation.
Vocalist and guitarist Daniel Allen shares his own story about the song:
“’Everything I Need’ was written after a cross country tour from Nashville to California and back in late 2016. It was a music and comedy tour, so we were on the road with comedians the whole time, and every night was completely unique and different. Our stops in Las Vegas and L.A. were the main inspirations for this song. It’s based on all the characters we met on tour in those towns, and the experiences we went through as a band and individuals. ‘Everything I Need’ is fast and full speed from the start which is the same way that whole tour was.”
