Nashville’s Country Westerns are gearing up for the release of their sophomore album ‘Forgive The City’. Scheduled to land April 28th on Fat Possum Records, the LP is produced by Matt Sweeney, who also took the production front of the band’s debut record.

Country Westerns have also shared their new song and video ‘It’s A Livin’. Musically the tune encompasses bits of classic 80s Bruce Springsteen style rock with modern sonics that sound really great. It isn’t hard to believe why the group has been championed by the press and music lovers alike.

Regarding the single, Country Westerns’ Joseph Plunket said:

“‘It’s a Livin’ is the last song I wrote for our new album. It’s meant to be a tribute to musicians and travelers who are waiting for the road to open. And also a promotion of forgiveness in general. t’s about the last go around and wondering what’s left out there. An encouragement to those who have to push through and keep moving and also an acknowledgement of a time to lay it down. It has pretty obvious vibes of a pandemic spent in Nashville and the actual lyrics are less pretentious than this description. I wrote it on my Danelectro 10-string which gives it a cool aggressive jangle.”
