Joshua Ketchmark, the new wave of country rock, has just released his tenth studio album, ‘Blood,’ which showcases his undeniable talent for songwriting and musical production. The album includes a track called “Crossbone,” which features an acoustic element that is reminiscent of Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers, but with Ketchmark’s own country vibe.

“Crossbone” is the 10th track on the album and explores themes of goodbyes and self-realization. The narrative is heartfelt and deeply personal, reflecting Ketchmark’s past experiences. The track’s mix is impressive, with overlapping guitar layers that fill up the soundscape and create a rich, textured sound that complements Ketchmark’s vocals perfectly.

The country feel of the track is consistent with the rest of the album, which was produced and mixed by Joshua Ketchmark himself and recorded in various studios across California, Arizona, Georgia, and Tennessee. The majority of the piano and organ were played by Michael Webb (Chris Stapleton), with Tony Paoletta (Travis Tritt) contributing lap steel and Sadler Vaden (Jason Isbell and the 400 unit) playing the guitar on eight of the twelve songs. Blood also includes guest appearances by drummer Zak St. John (Black Star Riders), bassist Ger Hoffman (Joe Diffie), and backup vocals by Candace Devine (Ponderosa Grove), Heather Luttrel, CC Wyle (Wyle), Kenny Wright (The Great Affairs), Dvniel, and Joey O.

The new album by Joshua Ketchmark is a perfect fit for 90s’ indie narratives

“Crossbone” would make an excellent addition to any indie music movie soundtrack. The song’s acoustic element and poignant lyrics could work well in indie classics such as “Reality Bites” or “Empire Records,” both of which were released in the 90s. Ketchmark’s new album, Blood, showcases his talent as a songwriter and producer, with tracks like “Crossbone” demonstrating his ability to mix genres seamlessly and create a unique sound that appeals to fans of both indie and country music.

In conclusion, “Crossbone” is a standout track from Joshua Ketchmark‘s latest record. The song’s treatment and overlapping harmonic layers create a rich, textured sound that perfectly complements Ketchmark’s heartfelt vocals. With its poignant lyrics and indie music feel, “Crossbone” would make an excellent addition to any 90s movie soundtrack and will surely take the global indie market by storm.
