None of this is meant to be a knock against Sean McConnell – I simply don’t hear it as the same style of sound. Elements are there, especially on his previous release Midland, a fantastic album. However, when I hear McConnell, his sound leans more towards a cross between Texas Country, an acoustic style country, and the Americana/Country style similar to Jason Isbell.
Posted by: Cobra Some classify Sean McConnell as part of the Texas Country scene, though for me it’s difficult to classify him in that group. When I think of Texas Country, I think of acts like Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers Band (both of whom McConnell has collaborated with), Turnpike Troubadours, Stoney LaRue, Courtney Patton, Jamie Lin Wilson, and Jason Eady. There’s a certain sound to the music that I hear and associate as Texas Country which is much closer to a traditional sound.
