Aside from the random vinyl spin, I use Spotify for pretty much all of my music these days. If you have a weird obsession with how many playlists I have, you can find me here.

One of Spotify’s best features is the Discover Weekly playlist. It updates every Monday, and I almost always find something new and enjoyable that I wasn’t aware of before. I’m old, so I have no idea who these artists or bands are, but I trust the Spotify algorithm to point me to some great music that I’ll likely dig.

I see a band named The Jompson Brothers in this week’s playlist. Never heard of them. The song is called “On The Run,” and I click to listen. The music starts, and I can tell it’s going to be a southern rock-flavored track. The singer begins singing, and within a few lines, I realize it’s Chris Stapleton. That guy has a pretty distinct voice that sounds like Bon Scott and the singer from Slade had a baby and raised it on ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin.

I clicked to learn more about this band. Is it a new supergroup? Maybe it’s not even Stapleton, but an incredible sound-alike. A few keystrokes later, I learned that The Jompson Brothers was the southern rock band fronted by Stapleton before he went out on his own. Luckily, their whole independently produced album is on Spotify.

Your mileage may vary, but if you like The Black Crows, old Aerosmith, and, you know, Chris Stapleton solo you will love this album.

I can’t stop playing it.
