Brent Cobb Releases ‘Live a Song, Write a Memory, Vol. 1’

/by

Brent Cobb is pulling the curtain back on the songwriting that has defined his career on his new acoustic album Live a Song, Write a Memory, Vol. 1, out today (June 5).

Recorded at Capricorn Studios, the self-produced album captures every performance live and in a single take, and spans songs from across his catalog, including selections from the Grammy-nominated Shine on Rainy Day, fan favorites from Providence Canyon and No Place Left to Leave, and cuts made famous by other artists. Songs like “Come Home Soon” and “Country Bound” revisit defining moments in Cobb’s journey, while outside cuts like “Tailgate Blues” recorded by Luke Bryan and “Bar, Guitar and a Honky Tonk Crowd” by Whiskey Myers are brought back to the writer’s chair where they began. The unreleased title track rounds out the collection, with Cobb singing from the perspective of someone who knows the best songs are earned through experience.

“In the early days when I started writing in Nashville, I always liked the sound of the work tapes better than I liked the studio recordings of my songs,” Cobb says. “I’ve wanted to make an acoustic album like this for a long time, and I look forward to releasing more of these throughout my career.”

Cobb will join The Red Clay Strays and Ty Myers at arenas and amphitheaters across the country, including Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Bridgestone Arena.
