Taking a page out of fellow Murfreesboro, Tennessee roots rockers, Glossary, The Only Sons have decided to digitally give away their new album, Steel Hearts. I found out about the album via a thread on AltCountryTab.ca. I think the exchange that took place inside of the thread is pretty interesting for reasons I’ll explain later.
Original Post: Ribbonpigeon’s new album, Steel Hearts, is really good and FREE to download off of their website.
Reply: Damn, good call on this one. I can’t believe how few plays they have on MySpace. Not only is it good, it sounds like music that would appeal to a wide audience.
Reply: The problem these guys have is that they have no exposure. I only heard about them because their lead singer emailed me and asked me to review their previous record on the music blog I used to write (and should ge back to writing again at some point). It seemed like they were doing everything themselves.
Reply: I have to say I’m really liking this, thanks for the heads up. I will spread the word
What’s interesting about this exchange is that as soon as the band was starting to get the name Ribbonpigeon out there they went and changed their name to The Only Sons. Whether this was a good decision or not is yet to be seen, but I’d have to think it will be some sort of setback.
Nonetheless, if you wanna hear some fine Southern/roots rock and you wanna hear it for free just head over to theonlysons.net and grab their new cd, Steel Hearts but you better do it quick….god knows what their name will be next week.
