One of rock and roll's longest running and oldest subgenres is southern rock, and one of the legends who helped make southern rock what it is today is here to premiere his latest album. That legend is Billy Crain, and his album, Family Matters, is the epitome of classic southern rock and roll.
If you've ever listened or have been live in person to see bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Dixie Chicks, Lynard Skynrd or The Allman Brothers, then it's a pretty good chance you've seen or heard Billy Crain. The thick southern drawl of his beautiful singing voice immediately draws the listener in, promising smooth melodies, soft guitar riffs and an old soul that breaths fresh life into the genre. The drums and bass on each track combine together to form a steady beat, but the guitar work on this album is a work of art, and makes the album a must listen for any southern rock fans out there.
Whether you enjoy songs like "Dark Horse" or "Road Warriors", each track is imbued with the life and experiences Billy Crain lived during his career, and serves as an example to everyone who wants to see what its like to balance family, work, and passion in life. His love for music, along with his incredible humanitarian work make him a pure example of the humble musician and family man, and I think anyone who is a fan of the southern rock genre will want to stick around and listen to this amazing album. Billy Crain's "Family Matters" is a must listen to southern rock album, and is available now for purchase!
