  • Sep 23 Next Step..pre recordingMusic Okay, so I promised to keep letting you hear these songs as they progressed. This is "Mercury in the Water" which I played for you in a previous post. The original version was a simple recording the day I wrote it with Sarah Majors. This is the next step before we actually record it for the new record.

The kind that hits when no one is around, when... Read More »
  • Aug 30 Rick BraggLatest News This in today from one of the main inspirations behind Rube: "Matt King writes and sings songs that are so achingly true to life that they make you want to cry, or ball up your fists, or burn something down. He writes and sings not in silly cliches about a South that no longer is, but about the scourges of my modern South, about meth and layoffs and men and women grabbing for their last hope. And somehow, it makes it a joy to hear. "   -Rick Bragg, author of Ava's Man and All Over but the... Read More »
  • Aug 08 An Experiment…kindaMusic I want to start sharing with you some new songs as they begin forming. I'll be doing a new record with Ray Wylie Hubbard this year and want to let you hear these in their infant guitar/vocal forms. Some will make it, others won't, but it'll give you a laugh, perhaps offend or maybe you can help us vote on the best ones for the record.   Stay tuned, I'll be posting... Read More »
