​Known to his over 225,000 followers on Facebook and 46K subscribers on his YouTube channel, singer-songwriter Buddy Brown recently released his sixth EP, Hurricane Stomp. Produced by Dave Bechtel and recorded at Ocean Way Studios, Hurricane Stomp is a five-song collection, all penned by Brown, that kicks off with the catchy melody of “The Beer Truck,” an amusing tune that any beer lover will appreciate. That’s followed by the sure to get your feet on the ground country rocker “Hurricane Stomp” and “Tore Up,” a radio ready song about heading out for a night of fun (a theme that’s been done before, but here feels fresh).

​Brown gets serious on the 90’s country flavored “Girl You Shouldn’t Be Here,” a song about the consequences of potentially crossing that line with a good female friend. (“It’s just a matter of time before we cross that line.”) and the closing track “Set In My Ways” which describes how while the PC machine may be in overdrive, he remains “An old school traditional shotgun and Sunday school don’t really care what you think/Cause I’ve been asking around and you know what I’ve found is most of us believe the same things/And I won’t conform….I’m just like concrete I’m all mixed up and set in my ways.” Hurricane Stomp has a nice balance of well-written tunes with humor and heart delivered by Brown’s instantly likeable voice. Give it a listen.
