The Swon Brothers - Nashlahoma (2020) Hi-Res

The Voice’s most successful duo, The Swon Brothers, have released their sophomore album Nashlahoma which features eight previously released tracks including “Travelin’ On”, a collaboration with Vince Gill.

The Swon Brothers, a country duo from Oklahoma who are best known for their single “Later On”, which reached over 11 million streams on Spotify, have released a second studio album Nashlahoma to break the gap following their 2014 self-titled debut album. Despite consistent single and EP drops, these musicians are, in a sense, reintroducing themselves with this new collection of music that they produced entirely themselves.

“We just got in there and let our hearts take the reins and our country roots showed on this record,” The Swon Brothers comment.

The album is packed with 11 songs (and a reprise) written by and co-written with an impressive array of some of Nashville’s best, including Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, Little Big Town’s Jimi Westbrook and Philip Sweet, and Lady A’s Charles Kelley as welll as Nashville Hitmakers Corey Crowder, Jordan Schmidt, Rodney Clawson, Jason Massey, Matt Rogers and the list goes on. Zach and Colton also took the production helm for the new record, producing the entire project with the exception of two songs co-produced with Evan Hutchings.

A bucket list moment for the brothers was having country music legend Vince Gill appear on “Travelin’ On.” The fellow “Okie” lent his pristine velvet vocals and signature guitar licks to the track. New artist Lewis Brice co-wrote “Southern Draw” with The Swon Brothers and is also featured on the recording.

One of the last productions that is sandwiched between two presented versions of “Travelin’ On” is as organic as it gets. Colton and Zach Swon wrote, produced, and performed “Get On Down The Road” without the hands or notions of outside sources. With a heavy handful of country twang and gentle instrumental elements, the indirect closing song provides listeners with a sense of The Swon Brothers’ individuality and musicianship… Nashlahoma is an eclectic blend of qualities that The Swon Brothers bring to the table, not only to country music but to music as a whole.
