Eric Jackson & The Willow River Band channel real time country folk frames into music. The alternative country rock group tells such vivid and vibrant stories of life, love, community, and passion. Spirited and feel-good, their tracks have a way of melting away all your worries. Their latest release is ‘Cheap Beer’, a track that portrays the aftermath of heartbreak with bar scenes, youthful indulgences, and a charismatic despicability. 

The instrumentals swing and sway, rushing into each other like waves in the ocean, washing away textures, sonic effects, and shapes of others, only to repeat the cycle all over again. It emulates the old-school country folk patterns in a way that is reminiscent of 50s and 60s. There’s also that blues dimension, so subtle and encompassing that you can walk through. 

It is perfect for barn dancing. That rustic intimacy and informality with its swinging rhythms and groovy melodies is thoroughly enjoyable and memorable. And despite the theme, it is such an uplifting and fun track. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
