Atlanta-based band The Whiskey Gentry released their third full-length studio album, Dead Ringer, earlier this year. On it, the husband and wife duo of Lauren Staley & Jason Morrow, and their bandmates, have built on the sounds of their previous albums - incorporating deep country, Americana, honky-tonk, bluegrass, and rock ’n’ roll on twelve tracks that deal with the themes of the road and chasing dreams. Dead Ringer has more guitars, more attitude, and more edge than what the band has done before, but it's not such a massive departure in sound that fans won't understand it. “We are not a different band,” Lauren explains, “but we've definitely grown up and are changed people from the time we started this band. I think we're better musicians, better songwriters. We've learned lessons and we've worked hard, and we want to tell our current fans and new fans the stories of what we've experienced on this journey. Musically, there are still elements of bluegrass and honky-tonk in our sound, and there always will be. However, I think we've expanded the scope of what we can offer people - there's something for everyone on this record.” In our continuing series highlighting City Winery NYC's Cellar Sessions, watch below as the band performs "Dead Ringer" as well as "If You Were An Astronaut."
