If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Jasper Forest Greenfield, MA's Rosie Porter and the Neon Moons specialize in "sentimental country" music, and their new single personifies that sound. "The Right Random Stranger" is a sentimental cowboy song about a sentimental cowboy. It's the kind of country ballad that should have come out any time in the past five or so decades. The music may sound more up to date, but Porter's vocals sound like they should be coming out of a radio that's its own piece of furniture. There's this beautiful, timeless quality to the song that's irresistible to us, and certainly doesn't sound like it's made by anyone this far north. You can listen to "The Right Random Stranger" below. The song is currently available via Bandcamp . For more on Rosie Porter and the Neon Moons, check out the band's website .

Photo by Jasper Forest Their Bandcamp profile states that they are "Sentimental country music from Massachusetts," and that defines Rosie Porter & The Neon Moons perfectly. The band's latest single, "Pretty Western Shirt," has that perfect vintage country sound that we tend to go crazy for here at If It's Too Loud... The sentimental factor keeps it from being alt-country or outlaw country. Instead, this is a beautiful 70's style country song. It has that level of sheen to it from that era while still being much more country than pop. Plus, there's plenty of steel guitar here to give "Pretty Western Shirt" the kind of twang you don't usually hear from a New England band. You can listen to "Pretty Western Shirt" below.
