PUBLISHER’S PICK OF THE WEEK (By Adam Waldman)

GOODBYE JUNE – “Secrets In The Sunset”

Goodbye June has taken the current classic rock revival to a new level with “Secrets In The Sunset.”  Landon Milbourn’s soulful, bluesy, falsetto is likely to inspire comparisons to Robert Plant.  While those comparisons would be justified, for me, Milbourn’s vocals conjure up comparisons to two vocalists less obvious to the masses – Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Country Communion, Dead Daisies) and Randy Jackson (Zebra).  There’s certainly no shame in being compared to Plant, but that may lead people to believe that Goodbye June is yet another Led Zeppelin-esque band, when they are so much more than that.

A power trio of cousins – Milbourn, Tyler Baker, and Brandon Qualkenbush – these Nashville rockers continue to rise above the din with their southern blues, gospel-infused brand of timeless rock and roll.  “Secrets In The Sunset” sounds fresh and new today, but could just as easily be an undiscovered gem from a ’70s time capsule that has just been opened for the first time in decades.  With a larger-than-life psychedelic mysticism, power, and depth, this song will instantly stand out on any Active Rock playlist.  Whereas typical Active Rock songs tend to have a similar vibe, Goodbye June is making music that feels like it should be played to the arena rock crowds of yesteryear.

The mission of this band is to honor the memory of Baker’s brother in name (he passed away in the month of June) and in spirit.  It’s a lot to live up to, but if any band is up to the task, it’s Goodbye June.
