Brent Cobb is pulling the curtain back on the songwriting that has defined his career on his new acoustic album Live a Song, Write a Memory, Vol. 1.
Recorded at Capricorn Studios, the self-produced album captures every performance live and in a single take, and spans songs from across his catalog, including selections from the Grammy-nominated Shine on Rainy Day, fan favorites from Providence Canyon and No Place Left to Leave, and cuts made famous by other artists. Songs like “Come Home Soon” and “Country Bound” revisit defining moments in Cobb’s journey, while outside cuts like “Tailgate Blues” recorded by Luke Bryan and “Bar, Guitar and a Honky Tonk Crowd” by Whiskey Myers are brought back to the writer’s chair where they began.

Sometimes the title of the album says it all. With Ain’t Rocked in a While, Brent Cobb & The Fixin’s decided to press pause on Cobb’s more singer/songwriter offerings, strap on the electric guitars, and turn the amps up.
Produced by Cobb and Oran Thornton, the players recorded live to tape at The Black Palace in Springfield, MO. Cobb brings his touring band, Len Clark on drums, Matt McDaniel on guitar, and Josh Williams on bass, to a headlining role with the louder offerings. The best of the crackling numbers is the title effort as the fuzzy riffs, head-banging groove, and foot-stomping drums pump up the country twanged ode to AC/DC.
The players then deliver their hearty, loud, but nondescript retro rockers.
