NASHVILLE, TN – (October 25, 2024) – The enigmatic and ever-eccentric Colonel Cobalt and his band, Cobalt Minor, are back in the spotlight with the release of their latest single, “Two Birds.” This gritty, guitar-driven track combines classic rock aesthetics with a touch of nostalgic heartbreak, exploring themes of betrayal, love lost, and self-reflection in the way only Colonel Cobalt can.
The single, available today on all major digital music platforms, showcases Cobalt’s signature storytelling alongside a powerhouse lineup of talent. Joining the Colonel on this project are Jeff King, a long-time band member and guitar virtuoso, Brenna Wheeler (of Troubadour Blue), lending her soulful harmonies, and Greg Morrow on drums. Engineered by J. Michael Moore and mixed/mastered by Rodney Mills, “Two Birds” promises a raw, analog vibe that harks back to the glory days of 1970s rock.
A Foot-Stomping Throwback
Colonel Cobalt describes the song as, “a good old foot-stomping, head-noddin’ rocker about a love gone bad. She runs off and leaves him, and he probably deserves it.” Fans and critics alike are already taking note of the song’s infectious energy, with 100% Rock Magazine calling it, “a killer riff and an anthem for rock purists,” and Bethany Bowman of Music/Entertainment Weekly praising its “simple and honest, pre-digitally engineered sound.”
Accompanying Visuals
For fans eager to dive deeper into the world of "Two Birds," an official lyric video—produced by Lyric Vids—is now streaming on Colonel Cobalt's YouTube channel. Combining striking visuals with the song’s emotionally charged lyrics, the video amplifies the track’s timeless appeal.
A Mysterious Legend
The Colonel’s music is as compelling as the mythology surrounding him. Tales of a mysterious upbringing, global wanderings, and colorful encounters with fame and failure only add to his allure. Whether it's the stories of busking with a homemade guitar or postcards to legends like Johnny Cash with the cryptic message, "Quit stealing my material!" Colonel Cobalt’s life is a blend of folklore and hard rock reality.
From self-releasing albums like Sharks Teeth to his unapologetic disdain for mainstream industry norms, Cobalt embodies the spirit of an untamed artist. Now, with “Two Birds,” he offers a reminder that true rock ‘n’ roll isn’t manufactured; it’s lived—and sometimes, it’s downright messy.
