“Walk On Water” MP3 Drops w/ American Songwriter Today!On National US Tour + Several SXSW Performances
Taking queues from classic pop, rock’n’roll, and Americana, Hollis Brown combines raw rock sensibilities with sweet melodies and heartfelt lyrics to create a rich, warm sound that can fill any room. The band has released their debut full-length album, Ride On The Train, today via Alive Records. The band has teased fans with album cuts “Down On Your Luck” and “Nightfall” and today they have revealed a new track “Walk On Water” with American Songwriter. Download the “Walk On Water” MP3 HERE and you can stream the album in full where it premiered with Paste Magazine as well as AOL Spinner and MSN Music. We encourage you to post & share!
Full of gritty jams and soft, sweet ballads, Ride On The Train opens with the title track, a triumphant song of new beginnings lead by warm, crackling guitar. “Doghouse Blues” is a straight-up bluesy rock song with rollicking melodies and dirty guitar licks. Despite its title, album track “Down On Your Luck” sets a bright, hopeful tone with twangy guitars and a playful vocal melody, while “Walk On Water” kicks it up a notch with raw vocals and screeching guitar solos. Tracks like the melancholic “If It Ain’t Me” and the powerfully optimistic “Faith & Love” showcase the band’s vulnerable side.
