Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the exclusive premiere of "A Hard Place," a new song by Quincy Mumford & The Reason Why.
The track is from the band's new album, Its Only Change, which will be released July 30.
The album, which was recorded in Nashville with producer Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo), features performances from Jerry Roe (K.D. Lang), David Labruyere (John Mayer) and Aubrey Freed (Black Crowes, Sheryl Crow).
"Quincy Mumford is a true artist who can bring raw '70s-style rock and funk highlighted with the voice of an old soul," Coomer said. "It’s a perfect blend.”
"This record is like nothing I have ever done before," Mumford adds. "For the first time, I was able to mesh all of my influences into one complete piece of work.”
The band, which includes Mumford (guitar/lead vocals), Brian Gearty (bass/vocals), Karlee Bloomfield (keyboards/vocals), Mike Zdeb (guitar/vocals) and Davide Vossel (drums), is excited to continue their tireless performance schedule, which has found them sharing the stage with Slightly Stoopid, Rusted Root, moe., Donovan Frankenreiter, Tedeschi Trucks Band and more. You can see their current tour dates below the Soundcloud player.
