On February 4th, 2022 independent duo Muscadine Bloodline from Alabama released their current album, the title cut of which is also meant to tell their own story. A story that deals with a hopeful musician coming to Nashville, where all the big labels and publishers have their offices on 16th Avenue. And eventually ending up on the side of town, where the twang used to hang around, instead of signing with a record label, because they all much rather take the dollar sign over an honest song.
It's been almost 7 years now, since Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster have
come to Nashville as
Muscadine Bloodline, hoping for the big break. A goal that is still out there, even with their
current album "Dispatch to 16th Ave". A batch of midtempo songs, from which only 2 stick out musically: the
atmospheric melancholy of 'No, Pedal Steel, written by the duo together
with Dave Cobb and Adam Hood, and the rowdy bluegrass punk of
'Dyin' For a Livin'', which has reached almost 4 Mio. Spotify streams to date. Hence
making it the most popular cut on the album.
tasteofcountry.com calls 'Dyin' For a Livin'' quick and dirty and for Muscadine Bloodline it brings a promising new musical option. So promising in fact, that their first official radio single borrows heavily from its style. Titled 'Me On You', it will go to radio on August 29th, 2022. Interestingly enough, it is not included on the current album, but seems to already chart a new chapter with its official July 8 release-date.
It's a song that talks about steamy hot nights - and how to get through the days that keep them apart. Because the guy has hopelessly fallen for her charms and it feels that they belong, like white on rice, like black on night. The track was written with Ryan Youmans, with whom the duo has worked before and who also helped produce.
Well, I know you know you gone and took control of me'Til the break of dawn or the cows come home
I'll be right where you want me to be
And that's me on you.
