Phillip Sanders

Review: Phillip Sanders – ‘If I Didn’t Love You Girl’

Phillip Sanders is a new artist to me but having listened back to some of his previous work, I am pleasantly surprised. He has a distinct style to his country music, not too dissimilar to Jason Aldean or Mitchell Tenpenny, it leans slightly to the rock side. He is a craftsman of catchy melodies and lyrics that connect to his audience. This is all set to a slick and polished production and delivered by Sanders whose voice has a unique tone to it. This latest single ‘If I Didn’t Love you Girl’ is no different in the sense that it is a well written song that sticks in your mind long after the last note has played. It has an energetic feel to the production and it’s no wonder it has reached number one on the iTunes country chart in the UK, Netherlands, France and Belgium.  Media Contact: Zoe Hodges, Editor Email: editor@maverick-country.com

Review: Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown – ‘Shake the Roots’

Formerly signed to the Snakefarm label, Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown follow the successful release of 2020 album ‘Pressure’ with the release of ‘Shake the Roots’ on their own label. They return to their roots with this album as blues and rock n roll heavily influence it sonically and it is an energetic record. The production has an edge to it, capturing the essence of the band whilst lyrically it is their strongest collection to date. From the single ‘Ain’t None Watered Down’ which has a southern rock feel to it and has your toe, tapping along. The vocals are full of grit throughout. The standout track for me is ‘Tennessee’ which really captures the heart and soul of the State, it has a shuffle groove to it and the melody is really strong as it transports your mind to a honky tonk. In summary, this record feels like Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown have found themselves again, returning to their true identity.  Media Contact: Zoe Hodges, Editor Email: editor@maverick-country.com
