Bud, AR — Josh Newcom is an anomaly. As a musician and entertainer, he is
continually in a whirlwind of creation. His mind never hits pause, and
inspiration comes from all facets of life, family, his travels, alongside any
subject that enters the bandwidth of his mind. Over the course of the last year
and a half, he self-produced ten albums, each genre specific. As opposed to
confining his talent to a sole genre, his love of all music has been the
inspiration to pool these individual creations in to collected bodies of work,
each loosely defined as Country, Bluegrass, Blues, Rock and
others. First up on June 28 is the release of The Blues Gonna Getcha
via Warpaint Entertainment (www.warpaintentertainment.com). That
forthcoming album is available for sale here: https://www.warpaintentertainment.com/store.
Newcom
shares, “My love for the Blues was first and for most inspired by Muddy Waters
and Stevie Ray Vaughan. When I first heard Muddy Waters sing and play his songs
in that raw and sweaty sound, I knew that was going to be a huge stimulant for
my creativity. And hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan play the Blues changed everything
I thought about guitar. It literally made me drop everything and focus only on
the Blues for many months. Now B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Etta James, Mavis
Staples, Buddy Guy, Rosetta Tharpe and many more are who I turn to for
inspiration ensuring my soul flows out freely through my voice and fingers.”
Listening
to The Blues Gonna Getcha, there is no question the pure powerful, natural
intonation is there as Newcom delivers his lyrics in song. And as a player, he
is real, taking inspiration from the forefathers of the genre who came before.
When asked about which specific carry the most significant meaning to him
personally, he offers, “I’m not the type of songwriter who writes just to have
another song. I love every song I put out equally or I wouldn’t put them out.
That being said, some are written to carry the torch for how I want an album to
flow, and the overall feeling I’m looking for. I wrote ‘Girl Got The Mojo’ with
full intentions of it starting the album off, and revealing exactly what the
album was. The same goes for the ending with ‘When She’s Shakin’. The
title track ‘The Blues Gonna Getcha’ is exactly what I wanted a song to be to
exhibit the inspiration I got from my blues heroes.”
As
an artist, he has been a work in progress, growing through self-discovery and a
work ethic second to none. He began his career a decade ago, finding peaks of
success, and some heartache along the way. In his past, he has been a
sought-after music video director based out of Nashville which led to a
relationship with Merle Haggard, and a hired gun engineer who also performed
all of the instruments on demos for a number of entertainers who are major
artists today. Newcom is driven by belief in himself, performing
over two hundred shows a year across The United States with his wife and family
in tow. Some of those journeys are captured on the long-form episodic series
“Renegades, Outlaws & Gypsies” which can be screened on his web site
here: https://www.warpaintentertainment.com/josh-newcom-video.
Newcom
will be appearing across the country in support of this release, and albums
