Buckle up, y’all. Brent Cobb wants to rock. A master storyteller from small-town Georgia who chronicles Southern life in plain-spoken songs, Cobb’s spent much of his six-album career behind the comfort of an acoustic guitar. With a hollow-bodied six-string in-hand, he’s blended the time-tested gaps between country, soul and folk-rock with the ease of a clear-minded drive down a two-lane blacktop on a Sunday afternoon.

Now, Cobb’s stomping his foot on the gas for Ain’t Rocked In A While, a new 10-song album that collects some of his loudest, rowdiest and downright wildest songs to-date. As the album title suggests, he’s making up for lost time – and it’s a hell of a ride.

Cobb releases Ain’t Rocked In A While on July 11 via his own label, Ol’ Buddy Records, in partnership with Thirty Tigers. Channeling his ear-ringing live show, Ain’t Rocked ... is the first album from Cobb to be recorded and billed alongside his trusted touring band, The Fixin’s. And for Cobb, it marks a return-to-form for an artist who’s collaborated with hard-rocking Texas band Whiskey Myers and country-rock favorite The Steel Woods.
