The second single from Mel Washington’s upcoming album Houses is cut from a different cloth than any of his previous material. While both “Come Back” and the new single “Whiskey Bent” were co-written by Chris Perot, Perot’s influence is more pronounced in the second single.
With a sound more reminiscent of Delta Rae and The Black Keys, Washington and Perot captured a soulful intensity with “Whiskey Bent” that they had yet to experiment with. This is how the album opens, telling a story, and capturing the recklessness and attitude of their early twenties.
