Travis Bowlin‘s second
studio album, Secundus, is a
flavorful, driven yet sultry rock/soul/blues opus that takes us from there
jazzy, smoky, lounge feeling of “Casaurina Sand” to heavy/hitting rock songs
like “Dancing With The Devil.” There’s plenty of soul in between with tunes
like “Strange Vibes” with its Wilson Pickett feel from start to finish, and the
downright dirty blue stylings of tracks like “Slow Cooker Man” and “Vicksburg
Blues.”
This record is filled with
lyrics that take you right there like a movie inside your head. There’s love,
hate, happiness, sadness, and plenty of attitude throughout. The 12 original
compositions were recorded it Mainframe Recording Studio with Bowlin serving as
producer and Nathan Smith as sound engineer.
Secundus debuted at #8 on the Global
Album Blues/Rock charts, #8 on the Tennessee Blues/Rock Album charts, #47 on
Amazon’s 100 Top Selling Blues Albums, #33 on iTunes Top 200 Best Selling Blues
Albums, made it on six Top 50 charts and jumped quickly from #38 to #5 on the Root’s
Music Reports Blues Rock Charts.
