Brent Cobb is reimagining one of his tunes from his latest rock and roll project, Ain’t Rocked in a While.  The prolific songwriter from Georgia shook up the scene with his 7th studio record. Some fans know Cobb for his laid-back melodies that convey heavy messages through simple words, but are shocked to discover that his life features a rocking set with his touring band, The Fixin’s, rather than an acoustic singer-songwriter style show. “It’s been real cool seeing so many new faces showing up at shows these last couple years. A lot of them even seeming to mostly know stuff from the more recent albums almost exclusively and that’s not a bad problem to have. I’ve always said our crowd is the best on any side of the musical genre tracks. They really care about the songs and come to truly listen. I’ve also always declared myself a songwriter-singer. Songwriter first, singer second. So, I think they naturally expect a low-key, intimate, songwriter-y experience, and I believe that expectation is delivered upon. However, something that seems to catch some by surprise is that when I’m with The Fixin’s we sorta put on a rock show too and really… that’s nothing new.” Cobb said when he announced the record. From the lead single, Brent Cobb & the Fixin’s set the tone that Ain’t Rocked in a While would feature the gritty rock and roll energy of his live show, each track having a swampy, edgy feel that fans have come accustomed to hearing in concert. The album, in full, does just that, showcasing a new side of Cobbs’ sound that his singer-songwriter fans are not accustomed to. Just a little over a month since the record was gifted to fans, some other rockers want in on the magic created on Ain’t Rocked In A While, leading to a new reimagination of a song from the tracklist. Today, Brent Cobb teamed up with Whiskey Myers frontman Cody Cannon for a new version of “Power Man.” Cobb teased the collaboration on social media, hinting that he was teaming up with a Whiskey band by sharing a clip that noted his music “goes well with whiskey.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brent Cobb (@brentcobb) Cobb and Whiskey Myers have a long history of friendship, revealing to Whiskey Riff back in 2023 that the Texas Southern rock group had hoped to cut his song that was a major hit for The Steel Woods, “Let The Rain Come Down.” When The Steel Woods frontman  Jason “Rowdy” Cope. (R.I.P.) caught wind that Whiskey Myers also liked Cobb’s tune, he begged Cobb not to let them cut it, because they knew it was going to be a huge hit. “You know when me and Rowdy from The Steel Woods, my buddy…RIP. When we wrote ‘Let The Rain Come Down,’ we started writing that song 18 years ago in L.A., and then I finished it a few years later.  I recorded a version of it, and then they recorded a version of it, and then Whiskey Myers, they wanted to record a version of it…they’re our buddies, you know. But I remember Rowdy hitting me up, and he was like, “Hey man, I heard Whiskey Myers wanted to record a version of ‘Let The Rain Come Down.’ He was like, ‘Don’t let them have it…it’s going to be a big song for us.’” @whiskeyriff Brent Cobb shares Whiskey Myers wanted to cut “Let The Rain Come Down.” #whiskeyriff #countrymusic #brentcobb #thesteelwoods #rebelsandrenegades ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff While Whiskey Myers might not have cut “Let The Rain Come Down” all those years ago, Whiskey Myers has worked with Cobb in many other ways, cutting “Bar, Guitar, And A Honky Tonk Crowd,” which Cobb penned and appeared on Whiskey Myers’ 2011 record, Firewater. Cobb shared that he felt “Power Man” was a natural fit for Whiskey Myers, building off the songs they had already cut from Cobb. “I’ve known the Whiskey Myers boys goin’ on 20 years now. Like me, they’re a band who have done it their way, on their terms, steering their own ship. I knew they’d get this song. ‘Bar Guitar, and a Honky Tonk Crowd’ was one of the first real rock songs I ever wrote, I think it might’ve been my second official cut as a writer. It’s another one of those ‘songs that could.’ It’s kept my lights on, my babies fed, and changed my life. Having Whiskey Myers on ‘Power Man’ just felt right. Cody seemed fired up to do it, and John even told me he wished there’d been a spot to lay down some guitar. The song’s got a rock edge, and so does our history. It all lined up.” The muffled lyrics make you feel like you’re in a dingy club with the electric guitars hypnotizing riffs staying at the focal point of the tune. Cobb’s voice is soothing, yet gritty, sucking you into the tune even further, and you’ll quickly find yourself rocking out to it. “I been feelin’ disconnected Somebody cut the rope Wonder who it is, you reckon They got the antidote I work hard to pay attention Try not to cross the line It’s just the world’s intentions Seems sorta dark sometimes Slick truck, sick house, lights on, soul gone, awestruck fame suck-upers simpin’ clout Dead end, blue song, cheap grin, you’re right, I’m gonna stick to burnin’ out” This song was already a heater, and the addition of Whiskey Myers’ Cody Cannon took it up a notch.
