Southern rock outfit Morgans Mill has released their debut full-length album, Songs for the Modern Day Man, an 11-track collection that delivers the blend of country grit and honest storytelling fans have come to expect from the group. Built around core members Dylan Young and AJ Hawkins, the band pulls from influences like Merle Haggard and Blackberry Smoke to formulate a sound that is “southern rock with soul.” The album, produced by Matt McQueen at Gem City Studios, opens with the forward-moving “Right Kind of Good Woman” and includes the reflective, title track “Modern Day Man,” which builds into a big, guitar-driven section perfect for a Nashville stage. The record closes with a southern-rock rendition of the classic hymn “Blessed Assurance.” Touching on a range of emotions from tough and funny to deeply personal, the album looks at the challenge of staying grounded in today’s world, serving as a comprehensive statement on the band’s identity: “If anyone wants to know who we are or what we’re about, it’s somewhere between track 1 and 11.”
