Nashville, TN – The Swon Brothers release their self-produced full-length album, NASHLAHOMA, today. It is the duo’s first album in six years and their fans are ecstatic, showing their enthusiasm by catapulting the record into the #8 position on the Country iTunes sales chart in less than 12 hours. LISTEN HERE.
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 best, 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 as welll as Nashville Hitmakers Corey Crowder, Jordan Schmidt, Rodney Clawson, Jason Massey, Matt Rogers and the list goes on. Zach and Colton also took the production helm for the new record, producing the entire project with the exception of two songs co-produced with Evan Hutchings.
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… Nashlahoma is an eclectic blend of qualities that The Swon Brothers bring to the table, not only to country music but to music as a whole. – NY COUNTRY SWAG
THE SWON BROTHERS & LEWIS BRICE/”Southern Draw” – Robert K. Oermann/SINGLE REVIEW
Nashlahoma is the title of the new Swon Brothers album. This lively, highly likeable track kicks up a lot of dust with its furious drumming, stinging guitar licks and party atmosphere. And no, that’s not a typo. It’s not “drawl.” It’s “draw.” They’re inviting you to the festivities by saying, “Let that Southern draw you in.” MUSIC ROW MAGAZINE
The Swon Brothers, Colton and Zach, have given us, what feels like, aged-perfection with their new album, Nashlahoma. From the first track, “Best Of The Best” to the last track, “Travelin’ On” (Extended Version) (feat. Vince Gill), the songs feel as if they have always been your favorite. They flow with such ease and the brothers give us what we love so much, they are authentically, themselves. ROAD DOG MEDIA
