KORA PUCKETT - 3 Songs (12" EP)

RIYL - Zach Bryan, Jason Isbell, Kacey Musgraves, Wilco, Alex G, Ruston Kelly, Kurt Vile

“This is the first music I’ve made that feels 100% me,” says Kora Puckett of his debut EP 3 Songs. A little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll, 3 Songs is a radio ready collection of singles that softly shout his obvious confidence, heartache and swagger as a craft-focused songwriter and lyricist. 

Considering Puckett has been playing basements, clubs and festivals around the world in DIY punk, grunge and rock bands for the last couple decades, this solo debut feels that much more realized and collected. Before cranking out this instant classic, Puckett was playing in bands like Narrow Head, Sheer Mag, Bugg, Laffing Gas, Angel Du$t and The Berries. And while this release stands apart sonically, if you listen real close, you can hear a little bit of those bands’ collective success. But you don’t need to listen real close at all to hear influences like Sheryl Crow, Paul Westerberg, Tom Petty, or The Lemonheads.

“Far as I Can Tell,” “Forever or Just Then,” and “Wait All Week” were written throughout the pandemic, and recorded/mixed between Appleton, Wisconsin and Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The collection of singles was engineered by Amos Pitsch (Tenement, Dusk) and mixed/produced by Jamie Candiloro (REM, Willie Nelson, Ryan Adams). Steve Marino (Bugg, Angel Du$t, solo) and Matt Berry (Happy Diving, Big Bite, The Berries) played additional guitar, and Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young) ripped a mean harmonica solo to close out the EP. The 12” vinyl featuring Puckett’s visual art is out February 23 on Let’s Pretend Records (Zero Boys, Vacation, Graham Hunt) and limited to 200 copies.
