Description
In May of 2019, Stokes put the finishing touches on a striking inaugural effort. Produced by Devon Allman, it is a lean and focused set of rock-and-soul, including an ambitious Talking Heads cover, and a depth of original material ranging in style and subjects. From the Memphis stroll of the opening "Can't Getcha Out" through the reflective acoustic closer, "Take Me Home", this debut encompasses Stokes' wide swath of influences and tastes.Naturally, the nine-song record offers plenty of the fiery guitar that has been the calling card of Stokes' career for this first decade showcasing the stellar reputation he's earned sharing the stage with such icons as Robert Cray, The Wailers, Robert Randolph, Warren Haynes, Lukas Nelson and Marcus King. Yes, it's a conspicuous emphasis on Stokes' escalating songcraft that also shines as brightly on this debut.
"I really do enjoy playing guitar, but I also love songwriting. I love the whole process", says Stokes. I think this album is very representative of a natural maturation, of how I've been viewing things on my journey. And hopefully, it's a journey that's just beginning."
