Cole Greenwalt's new single, "Alcoholic," isn't just a song, but an unapologetic odyssey into the heart of addiction, raw and undiluted in its execution, carried by both raw emotion and audio instrumentation. On the third single from the up-and-coming alt-country artist, "Alcoholic" offers a strong picture-painting experience that's every bit as personal as it's relatable.
Blistering guitars hook you in with raw, unpolished energy that one can smell reeking from the smoky back rooms from the opening notes, where the confessions run just as loose as the booze, from Alcoholic. But this is no mere drinking song but a raw reckoning, an honest confrontation with the hold of addiction and grappling to accept it. Cole's emotive vocals slice through the mix with the kind of sweet sincerity that is akin to a good friend leaning over and sharing a heartfelt message.
Written by: Tiaday Rock Played by: Leather 'N' Spikes All songs published by Flower Frequency (ASCAP) and Run For Cover (ASCAP) Produced by Andrew King and Skylar Taylor at Vibe King Studio. A new single that falls somewhere between modern edge and a warm slice of nostalgic country rock. The production does more than prop up the story; it buffs it, cocooning each lyric in gritty guitar texture and a propulsive rhythm that draws you, inexorably, into the narrative. You can hear the roots deep in classic outlaw country, but there's something in the fresh pulse that makes "Alcoholic" feel current and urgent.
If you're a fan of Bryan Martin, Gavin Adcock, or Koe Wetzel, "Alcoholic" will hit your sweet spot for raw emotion and country with its rock-driven energy. It's both a searing song about addiction and a rallying cry for honesty, a potent reminder that music can serve as both a lifeline and a mirror. Cole Greenwalt's "Alcoholic" is one for the archives and a raucous, soulful admission that lingers long after the last guitar string has been played.
