Ron Pope: "One Shot of Whiskey" and "Southern Cross"

With his latest album, "Ron Pope & The Nighthawks" Pope delivers music that is “affectionately-crafted and Americana-drenched; soaked in the country rooted-musicianship of the southern states” according to Chart Shaker.  Co-produced by Pope and Ted Young (The Rolling Stones, Kurt Vile, Grace Potter), the band’s new LP showcases down home sing-alongs drenched in gorgeous church pew harmonies, New Orleans brothel horns, and Georgia firework slide guitar solos, alongside the incredible songcraft which has brought Pope to prominence. Theirs is distinctly American rock music that is tied to its past while remaining unquestionably contemporary and vibrant. Listen/watch two distinctly different, yet equally wonderful, songs below.
