Featuring four songs apiece from singer/songwriters Womack, Johnson, and Carter King, Easy Company feels like a celebration of the tight-knit bonds that have held Futurebirds aloft since 2008. Years later, they've become headliners at bucket-list venues like The Ryman and The Fillmore, collaborating with fellow genre benders like My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel along the way. They team up with new partners on Easy Company, which was recorded with producer Brad Cook in the border town of Tornillo, TX. The guest list includes Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield, who trades verses with King on the album's title track, and Drive-By Truckers co-founder Patterson, who delivers a spoken-word monologue during "Soft Drugs." A brass section even makes a brief appearance. The result is a bold blend of old and new, delivered by a band of brothers who've never sounded so invigorated. Easy company, indeed.
