I want to thank all of you readers…I went over the million mark in views this past Saturday. I appreciate you all coming here since 2017.
My friend Greg lives near me and he came in and asked me to look this band up. They are new to me and they are called The Red Clay Strays. They seem to be a mix of rockabilly, blues, rock, soul, Americana, and a tad bit of country. The band is from Mobile, Alabama.
They were formed in 2015 and included lead vocalist Brandon Coleman, guitarist Drew Nix, bassist Andrew Bishop, drummer John Hall, and keyboardist/vocalist Logan Dozier. They met through various musical connections in Mobile and decided to form the band.
The band’s reputation grew steadily through touring. They gained a dedicated following in the Southeastern United States, playing at various festivals, clubs, and music venues. They do nicely building in dynamics in their music to make it memorable.
They released their first album in 2022 called Moment of Truth. That album peaked at #11 on the Americana/Folk Album Charts, #29 on the Billboard Country Charts, and #4 on the UK Country Charts. Their new album is called Made By These Moments and will be released on July 26th.
Right now their popularity is spreading outside of the southeast. The bottom clip is them in Denver at the famous Red Rocks playing this song. The studio version is not out yet so I’ll include another one of their songs so you can get a feel of them below this.
No One Else Like Me
How many mistakes must I make before I start to see
How much love will it make to make me not wanna leave
How many tears must I cry before my tears run dry
Will I ever be free
Will I ever be free
Lord I wanna Be Free
Well I’m a broken ridder, I’m a restless fighter and I’m looking for a little hope
I’m a shadowed thinker, I’m a one eyed blinker at the end of this rope
I’m a dead man walking, a preacher talking, about love and how to be free
I’m a dyin ghost with a heart like most but lord, ain’t no one else like me
Lookin back at the promises that I could never keep
I wonder if there was any truth at all in me
Sometimes I wanna run away and go start over in another place
But I’ll never be free, Lord I’ll never be free
Well I’m a broken ridder, I’m a restless fighter and I’m looking for a little hope
I’m a shadowed thinker, I’m a one eyed blinker at the end of this rope
I’m a dead man walking, a preacher talking, about love and how to be free
I’m a dyin ghost with a heart like most but lord, ain’t no one else like me
Well I’m a broken ridder, I’m a restless fighter and I’m looking for a little hope
I’m a shadowed thinker, I’m a one eyed blinker at the end of this rope
I’m a dead man walking, a preacher talking, about love and how to be free
I’m a dyin ghost with a heart like most but lord, ain’t no one else like me
