Song Premiere: Lazarus "Rock and Roll Heart"

Happily married and living in domestic bliss with a wife,  two kids, and five pets (two dogs and a cat) in Ohio, Lazarus felt a calling. So he packed up his family and moved to Austin where he  embraced, and was embraced by,  its  amazing music scene and culture.  Armed with his own tunes, Lazarus is set to release his  debut  album, Rock n Roll Heart, on May 26th. Recorded with producer    Kris Brown at King Electric Studios the self-penned project embraces the sound of Austin and features some of the city's best including  Warren Hood, Libby Koch, Ed Miles, Mark Wilson, and more.  

The title track from the record, "Rock n Roll Heart," is a quintessential roots rocker fueled by the sweet twang of guitars, a shuffling percussive beat, and Lazarus' weathered and wise vocals.

Lazarus notes of the track, “"When I wrote the song, I was new to Texas and had, early on, encountered a few true cowboys, Chuck Hawthorne and Larry Wilson (Jimmy Lafave's long time lead guitarist) who, like all of us can struggle with their art from time to time. I thought that I was "calling them out" sorta, in song. At some point during the recording of the record, I think that I realized that I was talking to myself. The composition of the record grew stylistically beyond traditional folk and that it, ultimately beat with a Rock n Roll Heart."
