Ahead of his forthcoming debut solo album, Missouri-based Riley Downing is today premiering his latest single ‘Good To See Ya’ on Holler. A blues-drenched jam that moseys along to the rhythm of Downing’s dusty Southern drawl, the track is an ode to staying hopeful and appreciating life’s happy moments, no matter how small they might be.

The UK Duo have teamed up with Grammy-Winning singer-songwriter Kerr for the poignant, longing ballad.

The key in understanding the soul legend is realizing that his talents as a vocalist lent very well to him becoming the biggest Black country star since DeFord Bailey.

Sam Williams is reluctant country royalty. Holler spoke to him early in the morning in Nashville, as he sat in a cosy loft space, relaxed and ready to talk about absolutely everything. No holds barred.

Guided by her commanding voice, 'Hallelujah Train' is a heartfelt and uplifting offering that confidently nods towards the kind of songwriting prowess we can expect from the album in its entirety.

Following their collaboration with Cam on their latest single 'Don't Be A Stranger', British country trailblazers Ward Thomas spoke to Paul Sexton about their blossoming friendship with the American country disruptor.
