The Bravest Scared Man Exceeds Expectations
Since the release of his very first single, Ben Walker has always enjoyed great acceptance of his music through playlist adds and chart placement but somehow, his latest release, "The Bravest Scared Man" has taken on a whole new life. The song is a co-write with highly acclaimed singer/song writer, Ashleigh Dallas and the attention being afforded to the song is a testament to the talent within these two people. Beautifully crafted by Rod Motbey in the Tracking Dog Studios, it would appear an inspiring collaborative match has been brought together.
Debuting on the Country Songs Top 40 Airplay Chart at #32, "The Bravest Scared Man" has found itself on radio station playlists across 12 countries and bringing with it an array of stations who have not played Ben's songs before.Topping the past week off, a run across the nation on ABC Country's GRASS ROOTS was yet another great surprise. What a spectacular start for a great song !“The Bravest Scared Man” tackles depression, men’s mental health, imposter syndrome, competing priorities and what it is to be a modern family man and deserves a place on any discerning playlist.

12 Good Men … Cas and Waddo
. Allan Caswell and Lindsay Waddington have been writing songs together since their first Lynchburg album in 2021. This lead to 3 Lynchburg albums, songs for each other’s solo projects and songs for a number of other artists. Among the dozens of great songs in their catalogue, their new one, 12 Good Men is close to their very best. "Waddo came up with the title idea and I loved it. I wrote the lyric without a tune (which is rare for me) and sent it to Waddo. He knew where I was going with the story and gave me the perfect tune to go with it. The idea was to write a bluegrass song for our upcoming bluegrass album and there will be a bluegrass version later but when we got together on it, we turned it into a classic gunfighter ballad … we both loved El Paso, Big Iron, Ringo and 7 Spanish Angels … in 5 years of exploring all the different styles of classic country music, we didn’t have a gunfighter ballad … 12 Good Men was the song we needed to write." Waddo’s production style on 12 Good Men is almost cinematic, blending an eclectic collection of instruments and great playing into a soundscape that tells the story in the same way the lyrics do. Cas’s powerful vocals and story telling skills help turn 12 Good Men into almost a 3-minute Western movie. It would fit nicely into the soundtrack of a Yellowstone or a Clint Eastwood movie.
Radio Loving Cowboys Hands

A song writing session with fellow song writer Scott Barrier in Nashville in 2023 saw this idea come to fruition and now, some three years later, it appears radio love the concept.Produced in Nashville by ex-pat Aussie Michael Flanders and his son Caleb, in a very short period it has gained strong airplay across Australia and eight other countries around the world.
