Lower County Outlaw by Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill Band: New Album Review
There’s a new album available now from Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill Band: Lower County Outlaw. I have listened to every song on the album and believe it to be Kristian Montgomery’s best work yet.
Kristian Montgomery’s Story
The album continues in the country-rock tradition of past releases, such as A Heaven for Heretics, and builds upon Montgomery’s unique story that includes writing in jail and moving from Boston to Denmark.
Montgomery didn’t let his unique challenges stop him from finding success in the music industry. He has been nominated for two Boston Music Awards, a New England Music Award and the Amsterdam Artist of the Year Award. He also recorded his first three albums in only two years, which is an impressive feat for any musician let alone one who has the unique challenges of Kristian Montgomery.
Reviewing Lower County Outlaw
The album’s 12 pure and nuanced songs range from rousing to introspective, with rich instrumentals and strong vocals that feel authentic and keep you listening. Some standout tracks on the album include:
- “Submit to My Transmission” (The guitars are a standout here, along with the overall clean production.)
- “The Long Gone Blues” (This song feels like the perfect example of a country-rock track.)
- “The 4th of July” (Read our full review from last year.)
- “Easy to Forget You When Im Gone” (This song is rough yet also gentle, and sometimes feels like a traditional country piece.)
This is Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill Band’s fourth album that included collaboration with producer Andrew Koss, known for his work with Alicia Keys and John Legend.
If you love music that bends genres or just want to try something new, Lower County Outlaw by Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill Band is for you.
