Bowen
first gained popularity as a Texas regional artist, releasing four
albums under independent labels before partnering with Sea Gayle/BNA
Records. Making the jump from an independent to mainstream artist is
a sometimes scary task, but the songwriter knows a successful
transition depends entirely on the team involved.
Bowen
penned all but one of the 10 album tracks, opting to include a cover
of the Townes Van Zandt classic ‘To Live is to Fly,’ which
features legendary songwriter
 
Guy
Clark The project’s first single, ‘Saturday Night,’ was the
singer’s first charting tune, quickly becoming a Top 40 hit. Bowen
previously scored No. 1 singles on the Texas music chart.
His
voice truly jumps out of these tracks. Wades baritone is dense and
concentrated, with traces of whisky and smoke and an true warmth.
Bowen takes command of his songs cutting over the top producer Justin
Niebanks sculpted guitar sounds. .The sound is one hundred percent
country, mixed with pedal steel and vivid emotion, but it’s also
music that could easily find a home with fans of Bowen’s rock
idols. Folks like Bruce Springsteen and Jackson Browne. Take a few
passes through this project and you’ll be hearing a singer’s
singer and focused songwriter who’s adding layers to his music all
the time.
