Our Take

Ladies and gents, hold onto your bollocks, because Chuck Mead is back with his latest offering, "Free State Serenade." This cheeky chap from Kansas has delivered an album that is as British as a cup of tea with a side of scones.

From the moment the record kicks off with the foot-stomping title track, you know you're in for a bloody good time. Mead expertly blends Americana with a bit of British charm, creating a unique sound that will have you singing along in your best cockney accent.

Tracks like "Big Bear in the Sky" and "Evil Wind" showcase Mead's songwriting skills, with catchy hooks and clever lyrics that will have you bopping your head with a pint in hand. And let's not forget about the cheeky little number "Dimes for Nickels," which is sure to get even the stiffest upper lip tapping along.

But it's not all tea and crumpets on this album - Mead also delves into darker themes with tracks like "Tennessee Blues" and "Shake." These songs show a depth to Mead's songwriting that will have you pondering life's big questions while tapping your foot to the beat.

Overall, "Free State Serenade" is a blinding album that proves Chuck Mead is a true master of his craft. So grab a pint, crank up the volume, and enjoy this bloody brilliant ride through the British countryside with one of America's finest songwriters. Cheers, mate!

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.
