Album: Nashlahoma
Label: TSB Records
Release date: November 20, 2020
The Swon Brothers gained national notoriety as finalists on NBC’s “The Voice,” and released their major-label debut The Swon Brothers, the following year, putting their stamp on the 11-song collection by co-producing with award-winning producer Mark Bright. Now six years later, the brothers will release their self-produced full-length album, Nashlahoma on their own TSB Records
The new music is a labor of love for the brothers who started the bulk of the recording just a couple of weeks before the pandemic hit.
“We just got in there and let our hearts take the reins and our country roots showed on this record,” The Swon Brothers comment.
The album is packed with 11 songs (and a reprise) written by and co-written with an impressive array of some of Nashville’s most notable, including Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, Little Big Town's Jimi Westbrook and Philip Sweet, and Lady A's Charles Kelley.
A bucket list moment for the brothers was having country music legend Vince Gill appear on "Travelin' On." The fellow "Okie" lent his pristine velvet vocals and signature guitar licks to the track. New artist Lewis Brice co-wrote "Southern Draw" with The Swon Brothers and is also featured on the recording.
One of the last productions that is sandwiched between two presented versions of “Travelin’ On” is as organic as it gets. Colton and Zach Swon wrote, produced, and performed “Get On Down The Road” without the hands or notions of outside sources. With a heavy handful of country twang and gentle instrumental elements, the indirect closing song provides listeners with a sense of The Swon Brothers’ individuality and musicianship.
