{"product_id":"travis-roberts-rebel-rose-cd","title":"Travis Roberts – Rebel Rose (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravis Roberts carries on a Texas tradition of songwriters who lived the material before they wrote it, drawing from a lineage that runs through Townes Van Zandt and the hard-luck poets of the Lone Star state. Rebel Rose arrives as a true debut in the oldest sense, earned rather than cultivated, with Roberts and The Willing Few bringing the same urgency to tape that they built night after night on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf anyone knows how to roll with the punches, it’s Travis Roberts. At 24, the Texas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esongwriter has already battled addiction, buried friends, and been so broke he couldn’t\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eput a roof over his head. Hell, he even joined an underground fight club just to pay for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estudio time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Whoever won the fights took home the lion’s share of the money,” he explains, “but\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeven if you lost, you made something. I lost a lot, but I got what I needed out of it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt should be no surprise, then, that Roberts comes out swinging on his blistering debut,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebel Rose. Recorded with Roberts’ longtime live band, The Willing Few, the album\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efuses earnest country storytelling with rowdy rock and roll energy as it blurs the lines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebetween roots, punk, folk, and power pop. The writing is raw and visceral here, built on\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egritty portraits of working-class underdogs just trying to get by, and the performances\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare nothing short of explosive, propelled by a relentless rhythm section, searing guitars,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand infectious melodic hooks. The result is an exhilarating album that defies easy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecategorization, an alternately bruising and triumphant reflection on growing up, getting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclean, and giving it your all from an artist who’s taken more than his fair share of hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery fighter knows, it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down.
