‘Let the Band Play On’ trims the fat and loses the Music Row polish
, who oversaw the raw and gritty material that first got them signed to Big Machine. Hustling into RCA Studio A with Cobb, they cut 10 new songs live on the studio floor.
This spring, A Thousand Horses — Hobby, Brown, guitarist Bill Satcher, and bassist Graham DeLoach — will release the fruits of those sessions, the full-length albumAt 36 minutes, the LP is a tight, satisfying listen, underscoring the band’s commitment to trimming the fat. Nothing feels forced, there’s an emphasis on melody, and Hobby allows his voice to come across more naturally . It’s the sound of a group that isn’t chasing trends.
The group’s kinship with Cobb, who has become the go-to Americana producer for his work with Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton, goes back 10 years to Los Angeles, when the band — still without a name — gathered in a Silver Lake studio to work on songs, all the while pinching themselves that kids from South Carolina and Georgia somehow made it to the promised land of California. They left the studio as A Thousand Horses and were briefly signed to Interscope before getting dropped.
While the entire band wrote “Drinkin’ Song,” Hobby and Satcher collaborated on the bulk of the album’s tracks with writers like Kendell Marvel, Lee Thomas Miller, and Jonathan Singleton. “Broken Heartland,” written with Singleton and the late Andrew Dorff, was an older song that Hobby and Satcher had been sending back and forth to each other, confident that it was worth one day finishing.
