World Premiere of “That Sounds Lonesome”
Airs July 18th on BanjoRadio with Kyle Cantrell

Pitney Meyer to Celebrate Single Release
with Appearances on WSM 650 and RFD TV,
Plus Video Premiere on Bluegrass Today

“That Sounds Lonesome” serves as the perfect introduction to Pitney Meyer with John’s solid banjo kick and roll throughout the track, coupled with Mo’s well-loved lead vocal. John adds tenor and Nate Burie, who also plays mandolin, sings baritone. The band track is complete with award-winner Jenee Fleenor on fiddle and Blake Pitney on bass. The single is quintessential bluegrass in feel but with a fresh take on the lonesome theme:

Coon dogs bayin’, Know what he’s sayin’
Whistling winds a playin’ through a weeping willow tree
Wood floors creakin’, Tin roof is leakin’
The company I’m keepin’ is the shadow of a dream

That sounds lonesome, That sounds lonesome
The sounds a little lonesome to me
That sounds lonesome, Low down and then some
That sounds a little lonesome to me

“My first introduction to being overjoyed with music is with Bluegrass,” continues Mo. “Jimmy Martin, Tony Rice, Larry Sparks, Del McCoury. Now, it’s like the best of all worlds with John and I being able to come out here and have songs that we’ve written, stories that mean something to us, but sounds like the old joyful, child-like bluegrass that we grew up loving.”

“This form of music is inherently nostalgic,” John adds, “But it can’t only be nostalgia. There has to be something fresh, there has to be something from your heart. What’s your story? How do you tell that? I really think that’s what’s been happening with this music and that’s why it’s been resonating with us and with others.”

Pitney Meyer will celebrate the release of “That Sounds Lonesome” with its World Premiere on BanjoRadio with Hall of Fame Broadcaster Kyle Cantrell on July 18th at 7:00am CT and again at 10am CT. The duo will appear live July 19th on WSM 650 AM with Coffee, Country & Cody at 8:15am CT and on RFD TV at 12noon CT. Additionally, Bluegrass Today will premiere the official video for “That Sounds Lonesome.”
