New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors will release their forthcoming album, Dragons, on August 16. Billboard is exclusively premiering the title track today (May 21). The stripped-down country-folk tune is assisted by the Lone Bellow, while Holcomb's rhythmic vocals remain at the forefront of the track as he recalls some sage advice from his grandfather.
Holcomb describes title track "Dragons" as "the lynchpin" of his upcoming record. Additional piano, acoustic guitar and driving percussion accompaniment further flesh out the anthemic track, which is about a dream of being visited by the ghost of his grandfather.
Last month, Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors announced the release of Dragons, due out on August 16th, 2019 via Thirty Tigers. Dragons is Holcomb's most collaborative effort yet and features Ellie Holcomb, Lori McKenna,
Natalie Hemby, and The Lone Bellow. Recorded mostly at Asheville, NC's Echo Mountain with additional recording at The Shoebox andCasonic Lodge in Nashville, TN, Dragons was produced and engineered by Cason Cooley(Ingrid Michaelson, Ben Rector), mixed by Sean Moffitt and mastered by Joe LaPorta at Sterling Sound.
