KAMERON MARLOWE

                                                                "We Were Cowboys" 

                                                                Columbia Records Nashville

With “Giving You Up” still making a tremendous impact on the charts, and “Steady Heart” now earning very substantial radio airplay, all eyes seem to be looking right at Kameron Marlowe as he takes another step on his way down the country music path to stardom.

The hot-rising artist now returns with “We Were Cowboys,” and continues teasing things to come with the title track of his recently announced debut album, releasing August 26, 2022. 

The song, co-written by Marlowe, Tyler Farr, and Wyatt McCubbin, leans on a softer pace in its instrumentation to perfectly allow room for Marlowe’s outstanding vocal to carry the lyric in such a way that it makes you feel like you’re sitting down with an old friend who’s telling his stories about life and living, and of course, the impact that cowboys have had on his growing up.

The opening verse hits right away on the granddaddy of all cowboys when John Wayne is mentioned in the opening line as being the one who his father used to watch on TV all the time, as we’re then transported back to when childlike imagination created the fun you’d have, singing:

“A stick was a rifle, a bullet was a rock

The good guys won, and the bad guys lost

We climbed them trees, we were wild and free

Me and my buddies ran that town“

The second verse shows the natural progression of life as we’re driven into the formative teenage years, where although he was still a cowboy it was in a different way, as he compared the front seat of his Silverado truck to that of his saddle while then singing of being in truck bed with an Aztec blanket and a small-town girl, earning bragging rights.

When the instrumentation of a song is done so perfectly that it completely matches the nostalgic, emotional feeling of the lyrics, it enhances the song in ways that makes each line spring to life as they strike the listener right in the feels and invoke their own memories, transporting them back to innocence moments and happier times when they still had their whole life still ahead of them.

This is the exact thing that “We Were Cowboys” accomplishes, which will easily make it another song release that heightens the buzz on Kameron Marlowe and elevates it to an even higher level then it’s already at. A perfect achievement ahead of his highly anticipated album release!
