Brent Cobb
Blessed with a honeyed voice and a deceptively relaxed style, Brent Cobb specializes in synthesizing a bunch of retro-roots sounds into a fresh, idiosyncratic country style. His Georgian drawl can emphasize his soulful influences, but his music also shows traces of sun-kissed folk, country-folk, and laid-back rock. Cobb's Southern-fried hybrid received a proper showcase on his 2016 major-label debut, Shine on Rainy Day, a record produced by his cousin Dave. Shine on Rainy Day earned Brent a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album in 2018, an auspicious start to a career for a singer/songwriter who quietly covered a lot of musical ground, touching upon everything from the modern gospel of 2022's And Now, Let's Turn to Page.... to the funky soul of 2023's Southern Star.
The cousin of Nashville producer Dave Cobb (Shooter Jennings, Sturgill Simpson), Brent made his first bid for success during a short stint in Los Angeles, where he recorded his 2006 debut, No Place Left to Leave, which Dave produced. Not long after, his friend Luke Bryan, a fellow Georgian for whom Cobb had opened some shows, convinced him to relocate to Nashville, where he soon found some success as a Music Row songwriter. He signed a publishing deal with Carnival Music and, by 2011, was landing songs with Bryan, Kellie Pickler, Eli Young Band, Miranda Lambert, and others. He continued to record his own music, releasing a self-titled EP in 2012 and opening shows for Blake Shelton and other high-profile country stars. With his cousin Dave firmly established in Nashville, the two Cobbs paired up once again to record Brent's sophomore LP, Shine on Rainy Day. Released by Elektra in 2016, the album featured a warm, stripped-down sound evocative of classic artists like Kris Kristofferson and Jesse Winchester.
Shine on Rainy Day earned Brent Cobb a nomination for Best Americana Album in 2018, by which time he'd completed its sequel, Providence Canyon. Working again with his cousin Dave, Cobb crafted a lush record in the spirit of the '70s; the album peaked at two on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
Cobb left Nashville for his native Georgia after the release of Providence Canyon. A departure from Low Country Sound/Elektra coincided with his relocation. He signed to Ol' Buddy Records and hired Brad Cook, a producer best known for his work with indie rockers Bon Iver and Waxahatchee, to record 2020's mellowly adventurous Keep 'Em on They Toes.
After the release of Keep 'Em on They Toes, Brent Cobb suffered an auto accident while his infant son was in the car; the child was fine, but the father incurred a broken collarbone. Shaken by the incident, Cobb decided to cut a gospel album, turning once again to his cousin Dave for a production that took place at RCA Studio A. The resulting And Now, Let's Turn to Page… appeared in January 2022.
Cobb entered the famed Capricorn Sound Studios, the location where the Allman Brothers Band cut many of their best albums, to record Southern Star, a 2023 album he released on his Ol' Buddy Records imprint through Thirty Tigers. Recorded primarily with local Georgia musicians and produced by Cobb himself, Southern Star celebrated the funky sound of 1970s southern rocc
