Brent Amaker is no stranger to this blog and we’ve shared his music as recently as the end of last month. In whatever guise, he always delivers unique and exciting tracks and his latest is no exception. A piece of rousing alternative country, it’s called Take It By the Horns.

By Graeme Smith

Take It By the Horns is a call to action for anyone searching for their resilience. It charges right out the gate with lively percussion and jangly guitar. Its tempo will have your heart racing while its unique mix of country and the Avant-Garde will have the synapses of your brain firing. It’s all over in less than two minutes but leaves a lasting, motivational impact.

Brent Amaker & The Rodeo’s new album Philophobia is set for release on 26 January next year via Seattle imprint Killroom Records. You can give it a listen below.
