Release Notes:
--------
In the decade since releasing his 2006 debut, Brent Cobb also emerged as a Music
Row songwriter, landing songs with high-profile artists like Luke Bryan, Miranda
Lambert, and Kenny Chesney, among others. His move into the Nashville
establishment may have brought his career some well-deserved success, but as an
artist, his heart remained rooted in the Deep South of his hometown, Ellaville,
Georgia. Produced by Brent's cousin Dave Cobb (Shooter Jennings, Sturgill
Simpson) at his Low Country Sound studio, Shine on Rainy Day is personal and
soulful, with little of contemporary country's gloss and a stripped-down, earthy
poeticism that some have likened to Kris Kristofferson's early albums. On these
ten songs, small-town Georgia -- its sights, smells, feelings, residents, and
customs -- are Brent's muse and partner. It's a world he sketches in "South of
Atlanta," a gently sprawling five-minute waltz whose lyrics celebrate a town
"where the water is clean, loblollies grow tall and winters ain't mean." It's a
feeling he yearns for in the easy rise and fall of "Country Bound," as he
questions what's missing in his crowded city lifestyle. Even when not directly
addressing his muse, its tone and texture creep in on deep, bluesy tracks like
"Let the Rain Come Down" and "Black Crow," the latter of which features some
fine slide work by Jason Isbell. Framing the songs are Dave's unfussy
arrangements and natural production style, which really bring out the relaxed
intimacy of Brent's writing. Whether it's the family connection or merely a
shared understanding of what is needed, the two Cobbs seem to bring out the best
in each other on this fine release.
