Blossom Drearie Biography
Ahead of the Hounds, Blossom Drearie’s forthcoming debut album, carries elements of Hill Country blues, Appalachian folk, Western country ballad, and Dixieland jazz - all converging upon the Crossroads of America where the songs were recorded.
Written by singer/songwriter Brandon Whyde and performed alongside a cast of expert players, this collection draws upon his musings in the spotlight and the shadows. Desperate and ofttimes menacing themes spring to life in the wake of a soulful voice that goes down smooth and fiery as though poured from a rocks glass. Discerning guitar work and imaginative, palpable storytelling sets the stage for a tapestry of acoustic sound that grants each track a definitive sense of time and place. The arrangement and production of these songs is meant to convey a strong feeling of cautious enthusiasm and measured discomposure.
In collaboration with longtime friend and bassist Chris Weller, Blossom Drearie arrives on the heels of more than a decade of songwriting and musical performance from Whyde, having shared the stage with such remarkable acts as Sturgill Simpson, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Marcus King, Dwight Yoakum, Warren Haynes, and Robert Earl Keen, and co-written songs with Grammy-winning country songwriter Clint Lagerberg and hit songwriters Billy Lawson, James LeBlanc, and Jamie Kenney.
