The Cold Stares - Autographed Mountain Vinyl

Sold Out

From Chris: We’ve noticed some of our older albums have been selling for ridiculous prices online. Including “Mountain” over $300. In an effort to curb some of that, we are offering the last of the “Mountain” vinyl that we have -autographed and including a guitar pick. These are limited and when they are gone, they are gone. Limited “Ways” and “Howling Wind” vinyl is still available on our website and we are happy to sign any of those brought out to our shows. Thank you all!

*condition/appearance of signatures will vary.

The Cold Stares - The Southern Vinyl

$ 35.00 USD

The Cold Stares, known for their electrifying blend of blues-rock, have just announced details of their highly anticipated seventh studio album, The Southern, set for release on September 6th via Mascot Records. Delving deep into their Southern roots for the first time on record, the album embodies a true reflection of their heritage. “When it came time to record this album, I thought about everybody giving us this Southern rock tag, and decided to intentionally write songs that explore that,” says singer-guitarist Chris Tapp. “In doing so, I realized that being Southern, for me, is more than an accent, and a setlist of songs. It’s about family and tradition."

Though the trio has below the Mason-Dixon Line origins, the group mines a woolier sound than expected. Fuzzed-out guitars, Zep-style riffs, and fleet-fingered Cream-style improvisations abound, as do nods to Delta blues.

"Our version of the South is different," says Tapp. "When Brian and I were young, we would sit in with these old guys at the local lodge, at the time they were still playing the old hits by Bad Company, Robin Trower, and AC/DC mixed in with country and southern rock - artists like the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. When I heard Free’s ‘All Right Now’ I thought they were from Georgia!”

Drawing from the wild tales his grandfather shared with him, Tapp’s cinematic songwriting weaves narratives as vivid as the Western movies they watched together. These stories of crooked cops and outlaw heroes, and local legends like "Hoppy" who tapped out rhythms while shining shoes, infuse the album with a rich, narrative depth. It is thus fitting that one of the standout tracks is titled “Coming Home,” a song that encapsulates the essence of these tales and the sense of returning to one's roots.

"We are so proud to tip a hat to Kentucky on this album, and embrace being ambassadors of the South," Tapp concludes, bringing the journey of 'The Southern' full circle—a heartfelt tribute to the land and stories that shaped them.

Tracklisting:
A1. Horse To Water
A2. Coming Home
A3. Looking for a Fight
A4. Blow Wind Blow
A5. Confession
B1. Level Floor Blues
B2. Seven Ways to Sundown
B3. No Love in the City Anymore
B4. Giving It Up
B5. Woman
B6. Mortality Blues
