Carrying on in Nashville’s storied tradition of producing generational southern talent, Tennessee-based country artist Robert Leonard has defined their legacy by blending the musical tastes of their home in North Carolina with everything he’s learned in the limelight amongst Broadway’s stages. His music, anchored in authentic originality and a sense of vulnerability in every line they write, has found a way to resonate with fans worldwide as they relentlessly seize every opportunity they make for themselves. This past month marks another milestone in the artist’s career, as they release their latest full length album, Pieces of Me. Its titular single proves a marquee standout in the artist’s repertoire, highlighting their deepest philosophies, ambitions, and priorities in the lyrics and tonal structure.
The piece begins with dual guitars playing in tandem, and we immediately get a sense of the wholesome ambiance this music strives to manufacture as we feel the world of the song being built around us in real time. Soon after, Leonard’s voice appears, projecting a welcoming, yet resonant authority, as he begins the narrative with the opening line “Drove down to the end of Red Oak Road. Good buddies, lots of beer, and an old Zebco.”
Exuding a sense of comfortable familiarity in the way he communicates with audiences through his music, Leonard showcases years of life experience and values within the verses of this latest album. Having accomplished so much with this latest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this artist’s mind.
