Kendell Marvel is—and will always be—a songwriter, but with his new record Solid Gold Sounds, Marvel has found a golden singing voice to match his highly accomplished songcraft. Set for release onOctober 11th, smack in the middle of a month-long run opening for Chris Stapleton, Solid Gold Sounds finds Marvel rekindling his love for artistry and good, old fashioned country music. C0-produced by Grammy winners Dan Auerbach(The Black Keys) and Dave “Fergie” Ferguson (John Prine, Mac Wiseman, Del McCoury, and more), the new full-length album was, as it usually is for Marvel, an easy-going, collaborative effort. He was written songs with and for Gary Allan, Brothers Osborne, Jamey Johnson, Jake Owen, Lee Ann Womack, George Strait, and Chris Stapleton (including Stapleton's Grammy-winning song “Either Way”) to name a few. “He's not craving the stage or craving the spotlight,” says Auerbach, who co-wrote nine of the ten songs on Solid Gold Sounds. “This record comes from a humble place, which I really love.” Today, Rolling Stone premiered the album's first single “Hard Time with the Truth,” co-written by Marvel, Auerbach, and John Anderson, noting the song and its accompanying video as “a sound that's at once retro and totally contemporary.” Pre-order Solid Gold Sounds here.
