Brent Cobb Takes the Amplifiers Off Again for "Live A Song, Write A Memory, Vol. 2"

Brent Cobb has put out "Live A Song, Write A Memory, Vol. 2," the next installment in his stripped-down series built around the writer and the work. With the arrangements kept spare, nothing stands between the listener and the song as it was written. Nashville judges songs by what's left once the production is gone, so a second volume like this deserves a careful listen. The title explains the approach: live it first, then write it down.
