Rhett Walker Band's second record label album outing continues the gritty Southern rock sound with attitude. The spoken intro to the opening track "Clone" gives way to raw grunge guitar riffs and strong lyrics about not fitting in to the world's pattern. The title track looks at small town America in a very John Mellencamp style before heading back to a more driving rock sound in "Adam's Son" and the spooky intro for "Dead Man" really fits the songs title. The album covers a lot of ground lyrically as well as musically, from "Amazed", which looks at not living so fast we miss God's amazing world, through "Someone Else's Song" and "Broken Man" which tackle relationships and life in general in a fallen world and having to rely on God's grace - and all handled with maturity. All this is delivered with powerful, bluesy vocals over a full and driving guitar-led sound. If it is rock with more than a hint of southern flavour and a bit of spiritual meat to the lyrics you're looking for, then 'Here's To The Ones' is definitely an album to get hold of.

Product Description
After bursting onto the scene with the smash hit When Mercy Found Me in 2012, Rhett and his band of brothers have carved out a unique place in Christian music blending pop, rock and rootsy Americana into a sound that reaches an ever-growing audience. Meanwhile, themes of faith, family and country continue to be at the core of Rhett Walker Band’s music.

Key songs on the album include the new radio single Amazed as well as Love Like Jesus and Better Part of Me which takes an honest look at marriage and supporting one’s spouse. The anthemic title track Here’s to the Ones salutes and honours those who work hard to support their families and who stand up for their faith. The band continues to write and sing songs that are filled with honesty about brokenness and the hope and strength we can find through faith in God.
