NEW RELEASES: THE COAL MEN
By Ken Paulson
New and recent releases:
The Coal Men – Pushed to the Side – Coming August 19 is Pushed to the Side, the fifth album from the Nashville-based Coal Men. Band leader Dave Coleman is a next-generation Tony Joe White, writing soulful and thoughtful songs and he’s joined here by Dave Ray and Paul Slivka. The songs are sometimes sobering and always well-crafted. Highlights include “Depreciate,” an insightful song about the aging process and the driving “The Payoff.”
