Close To Home - Chuck Mead

Neo-traditional honky tonker Chuck Mead serves up a Memphis-spiced hardcore country platter with Close to Home. The 11-track collection recorded at the historic Sam Phillips Recording Studios in Memphis, Tenn. Was produced by acclaimed Memphis recording engineer and producer Matt Toss-Spang.

Mead has been upending expectations and walking the line between hardcore country music and raucous rock'n'roll for the better part of 25 years. As a member of the alternative country music quintet BR5-49 in the early 1990s, Mead fused rock'n'roll excitement with the soul of the Music City's honky tonk heritage, sparking the rebirth of Nashville's Lower Broadway music scene.
