Alex Williams Returns to Outlaw Country with New EP

Alex Williams has released a new EP titled "Discount Country," signaling a return to his established outlaw country sound. This follows his previous project, "Space Brain," released last year, which featured covers of hair metal songs by bands such as Ratt and Skid Row. The shift back to country music highlights Williams' core artistic identity.

"Discount Country" is described as embracing the twang, a characteristic element of the outlaw country genre. This EP represents a deliberate pivot from the sonic exploration undertaken in "Space Brain." The decision to return to his roots suggests a strong connection to the genre that has defined much of his career.

Williams' work on "Space Brain" showcased a willingness to experiment with different musical styles, delving into the sounds of 1980s hair metal. However, the release of "Discount Country" indicates a reaffirmation of his commitment to outlaw country. This new EP is expected to resonate with fans who appreciate his signature gritty songwriting and vocal delivery within the country music landscape.
