Ken Pomeroy – Flannel Cowboy
Rising American folk singer, songwriter and musician Ken Pomeroy’s new song, “Flannel Cowboy,” is out today.
Reflecting on the track, Pomeroy shares, “I wrote ‘Flannel Cowboy’ while on a trip across country with my stepmom Wendy. Started it in Oklahoma, wrote parts of it on the way to Montana, and finished it in Parma, ID. This song sounds like a love song but actually tells of the hardships that come when feelings are one sided.”
“Flannel Cowboy” is the latest song unveiled from Pomeroy’s anticipated new album, Cruel Joke, which will be released May 16 via Rounder Records—her first in partnership with the label.
Anchored in Pomeroy’s Native Cherokee heritage, Cruel Joke is a powerful collection that showcases her raw songwriting and engaging voice. Produced by Pomeroy’s musical partner Dakota McDaniel, Gary Paczosa (John Prine, Alison Krauss, Sierra Ferrell, Katie Pruitt) and Colton Jean, the project consists of twelve deeply personal tracks (all written alone) that find Pomeroy telling stories of her own self-realizations and reflections as well as observations of the world around her.
