Whiskey Preachin Records is proud to present Ole Whiskey Revival, one of the few bands around today making classic-sounding Southern rock that avoids the pitfalls of over-production and stadium cheese. OWR are from Shreveport, Louisiana, once the home of the Louisiana Hayride, giving Shreveport claim to some big names in music, including James Burton, Webb Pierce, Faron Young and Hank Williams Jr. Those are some mighty big boots to fill, and it may be too soon to add this band of bourbon-soaked rabble-rousers to that list, but Ole Whiskey Revival are here to tell it their way, playing southern-fried rock with plenty of grit and a country heart.
Formed five years ago by four old school friends, Alex Troegel (lead guitar and lead vocals), Trent Daugherty (guitar and vocals), Steve Hensley (bass) and Ryan Alexander (drums and percussion), this is the band’s first album release, but you wouldn't think so to listen to it. Their command of the material and their confident swagger suggest otherwise.
Listening to OWR's masterful combination of good time Southern rock and seventies outlaw country, it's possible to think you’re hearing a long-lost classic for the first time. But you’d be wrong, at least in the long-lost part. You won’t be wrong when you find yourself listening to their album on repeat.
If, like us, you like to hear the aural equivalent of sour mash when you drop the needle on a record, you’re going to love Ole Whiskey Revival. Pour yourself a few fingers of your best brown liquor and turn up the stereo, baby. You’re in for a real treat.
