15-Song Set Includes Shane’s Current Top 5 Hit “My Boy”
Wheelhouse Records Singer/Songwriter Continues As Tour Support For Brooks & Dunn This Weekend
Wheelhouse Records singer/songwriter Elvie Shane announced his debut full length album BACKSLIDER will be released on October 29 and is available now for pre-order here. Shane co-wrote each of the cohesive 15-song set, painting a sonic “bigger picture” of not just himself, but life in small-town America – it’s just as gritty as it is graceful. The album tells the story of Shane’s life journey; full of backroad turns, straightaways and backslides, with each song revealing different chapters and sounds as distinctive as its maker.
Shane’s current Top 5 and climbing hit single, “My Boy” sets the truth-telling tone, with the album offering the crunchy hooks of Classic Rock, the everyday poetry and nostalgia of Country music and the emotional electricity of Gospel and R&B – all with that punchy “edge” Shane knows so well. In celebration, Shane shared a new track from the record today, “My Kind Of Trouble,” as well as a spirited performance video of the track, available to watch here.
“It’s about more than just me,” Shane says, speaking of Backslider. “Whether you’re from the United States or the other side of the world, we’ve probably experienced the same things: heartbreak, family trouble, love… the yearning for a better life. These songs are my personal stories written so they rhyme … but I think they are stories that happen to each and every one of us.”
Shane also visited “The Bobby Bones Show” to share the news of his forthcoming album, as well as perform acoustically.
