Our Take

The latest offering from country maverick Chuck Mead, Close To Home, is a toe-tapping, whiskey-drenched odyssey through the heartland of America. With Mead's signature twangy vocals and infectious melodies, this album is guaranteed to get your honky-tonk boots stomping.

From the rollicking opener "Big Bear In The Sky" to the soulful ballad "Better Than I Was," Mead effortlessly weaves together a tapestry of storytelling that will transport you to a dusty back road in Tennessee. The instrumentation is top-notch, with honky-tonk pianos, steel guitars, and fiddles creating a rich, full-bodied sound that is impossible to resist.

Mead's lyrics are a masterclass in Americana storytelling, with tales of love, loss, and redemption that will resonate with listeners of all stripes. Whether he's singing about the joys of small-town living or the struggles of life on the road, Mead's authenticity shines through in every word.

Close To Home is a triumph for Mead, showcasing his boundless talent and infectious energy. So grab a bottle of bourbon, kick back, and let Chuck Mead take you on a musical journey that is both timeless and utterly contemporary. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Chuck Mead

Chuck Mead is a musical maverick, a true throwback to the golden age of honky-tonk and rockabilly. With a career spanning over three decades, Mead has proven time and again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Americana music. Hailing from Lawrence, Kansas, Mead first burst onto the scene as the frontman for the acclaimed band BR549 in the early 1990s. Known for their high-energy live shows and infectious blend of country, rock, and blues, BR549 quickly gained a loyal following and critical acclaim. After the band's breakup in 2006, Mead embarked on a successful solo career, releasing a string of well-received albums that showcased his songwriting prowess and distinctive vocal style. His latest effort, "Close to Home," is a testament to Mead's ability to effortlessly blend traditional country sounds with modern sensibilities. Mead's music is a refreshing departure from the polished pop-country that dominates the airwaves today. With his raw, unapologetic lyrics and stripped-down instrumentation, he brings a sense of authenticity and grit to the genre that is sorely lacking in many contemporary artists. Whether he's crooning a heartbreaking ballad or tearing through a raucous rockabilly number, Mead's passion for music shines through in every note he sings. With his infectious energy and undeniable talent, it's no wonder that Chuck Mead has become a household name in the world of Americana music.
