Wielding his “hauntingly beautiful country-Americana-inspired sound” (PEOPLE), Alabama-born crooner Kashus Culpepper adds to his growing catalog of lauded songs with fourth offering “Pour Me Out,” available today. Listen here.
“'Pour Me Out' is one of my favorite songs I've ever written,” shares Culpepper. “It reflects a side of my musical influences that reminds me of songs I love from heroes of mine like Ray Charles and Willie Nelson.”
Earlier this year Culpepper made a musical pilgrimage to Muscle Shoals, Ala. where he recorded “Pour Me Out” produced by frequent collaborator Brian Elmquist (The Lone Bellow) and backed by his road-tested band. The track captures what No Depression notes as his “inimitable way” and “voice full of sandpaper and gravel,” and evolving writing chops. Penned alongside Ben Burgess and Diego Urias, Culpepper sings:
I know I'm not the only drink in town
I can't just be another round
If you don't wanna drink me baby
Don't sip me baby
Just pour me out
Exactly six months to the day since the release of his first-ever song, “After Me?,” the “measured and soulful” (The Tennessean) performer will make his debut on the storied Grand Ole Opry stage, Saturday, Dec. 21.
Recently wrapping his headlining Howlin' Under The Harvest Moon Tour across the Midwest and Southeast, and opening slots for sound pioneers like Charles Wesley Godwin and Charley Crockett, Culpepper will take his inextricable influences of country, soul, blues and folk back on the road in the new year opening for Leon Bridges, Ian Munsick, and making first-ever appearances at Stagecoach, C2C in London, Tortuga Music Festival, and more.
