Christopher Denny’s unmistakable, high-register warble sounds like an artifact of a bygone era, a voice plucked from crackling golden country radio. Denny will continue to bring his self-described “Arkansas soul” sound to modern listeners with the release of his sophomore album, If The Roses Don’t Kill Us, due out August 5th via Partisan Records.
Whereas lead single “Our Kind Of Love” had a jazzy and brassy sway to it, the album’s title track has sort of a big band romp. Anchored by a bluesy piano and New Orleans-inspired horns, the song is a Southern jam, well-suited for a smoky 1930’s bar somewhere deep in the Bayou.
