While he's not yet a household name, James Scott Bullard has shared his music with many, playing stages with David Allan Coe, Butch Walker, Dex Romweber, and The Steel Woods, among others. On April 27th, the singer-songwriter released his sixth full-length (and ninth overall), Full Tilt Boogie, whose ten original tracks mightily blend rock, country, and blues in a rollicking trip that's edgy, honest, and invigorating.
A solid listen front to back, Full Tilt Boogie includes the rip-roaring, bluesy "Hey, Hey Mama," the shuffling kiss-off "Jesus, Jail, or Texas", and the carefree closer "Back To You" which mines a dreamy roots rock jam-band feel. With Full Tilt Boogie, Bullard plows his own path and it's full steam ahead. https://www.jamesscottbullard.com https://shrstudio.com http://www.bigmavis.com

Born and raised in the small town of Brownsville, TX, Mitch Bradford discovered music at a young age and immersed himself in the sounds of Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell and others. The simplistic, warm nature of their lyrical styles and composition eventually inspired him to start writing his own material about 15 years ago. Though music was always his first love, Mitch accepted a full-time position with tech giant Google and continued writing songs on the side. His job responsibilities required him to spend a lot of time working in California. While biking with a friend one Saturday morning in scenic Monterey, CA, Mitch had an epiphany where it all made sense. During the ride along the coast, he found himself soaking in the essence of California – the people, the warmth, the tinge of salt in the air, the seals sunbathing on rocks nearby. In that moment he was overcome with an intuitive feeling that California was where he was meant to be. He made his dreams become a reality and left his full-time gig to pursue his lifetime-gig: music.
Two years later, Mitch teamed up with Grammy Award-Winning producer Matt Ross-Spang (Chris Isaak, Jason Isbell, Zac Brown) to write and record his debut album. With sessions in Memphis, TN but drawing inspiration from his new west coast home, Mitch sought out a classic ‘California country’ feel – something that hearkens back to the height of 1970s folk-rock ‘Laurel Canyon Sound’ of the Eagles, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and others – but with a modern twist. After recording the songs in just 4 days, the result is a 10 track collection fit be the soundtrack of a long drive up the California coast or a weekend away in the mountains. The first single, “Love Is Kind,” is a request to a love for a second chance which with its laid back, breezy melody replete with organ and soft percussive notes wraps you in a warmth as bright as the California sunshine. "I don’t sleep the same way without you in it. I’ve been mixing night for day without you in it. But I can relate If you want some time I’m learning everyday I keep telling myself, “Love is kind.” Love is kind" Enjoy the track above, and for more information visit HERE.
