Driving With the Devil Title Track Artist (Brasher-Bogue) Review

***

I have always been an outspoken supporter of the country music band Brasher/Bogue. The reasons? Its an elegy of sorts:

• Andy Brasher and Dustin Bogue have incredible vocal talent.
• Andy and Dustin are adorable, kind, and relatable.
• Their music is a sincere, hardworking, authentic slice of Americana honesty.
• They write poignant, meaningful music with songs that tell a story- consistent with the heartbeat of the country music genre.
• They play the guitar, and harmonica, very well. *swoon*

I met these guys about a year and a half ago at Kenny Chesneys No Shoes Radios Winter Beach Bash (KCNRSWBB) . They impressed me so much that I went to see them again in DC, as they were the headliners at the Hard Rock Cafe preconcert parties for all the Kenny Chesney stadium shows. I saw Dustin and Andy once again back in January in the Keys and they told me how hard they were working on their new album. Since then, I have waited for news of the birth.

By God is here! It is being released in two parts on iTunes the first on 6/12/12 (today!) and the second half on 12/12/12. In Dustins own words:

We have grown a whole lot. As you know, we have put on many, many miles (literally and figuratively) which wed like to think has made us better at all of it, from the writing, to playing together, singing together, and producing an album together.

There is quite a bit of testosterone in some of the first five songs. Driving with the Devil is total outlaw. By God is a God, country, and family anthem about standing up for what you believe in. Big Joe is a tale about fist fighting with a big ol boy with a jealous bone.

Andy and I both agree its the best work weve ever done!

Brasher/Bogue is hosting two major CD release shows: Friday June 15th in Storm Lake, IA, and July 4th at the Hard Rock in Nashville. The Real Friends Family is the powerhouse virtual community who have invested themselves fully into the Brasher/Bogue mission. Check them out on Facebook.

The song Driving with the Devil is also the title song to Neal Thompsons audiobook of the same name. Check out the trailer here.

If you like to see good people accomplish great things, I hope youll BUY THE CD! Also please consider sharing this post with your friends and supporting Brasher/Bogue through social media . The ten bucks you spend on this cd has a priceless positive gain for independent musicians trying to get noticed by the mainstream masses. What you gain in entertainment value doesnt even compare to making dreams come true for Dustin and Andy. Its nice to hear Brasher/Bogue on No Shoes Radio sometimes, but its even better to be part of their Real Friends Family and watch the evolution of genius unfold. The good guys of the world are the ones who appreciate the journey as much as the destination. And for a professional wannabe like me, its just awesome to watch them shine. Rock on Brasher/Bogue!
