Acting as a portal to a larger world, the track’s blend of yearning Americana, country rock, and Southern gothic brings us into Dirt Road Souls’ unfurling tale of '(The Life and Times of) Johnny Moonshine', an ambitious 12-track concept album and roots rock opera arriving in early 2026.

Knyvet @knyvet.bsky.social · 4d

But the introduction is always a key element, and an invite is first extended through the trio’s new single, a stirring fit of twangy dive bar hillbilly rock out today called 'Hold On Soul'.

And like any great tale told off the steady balance of a barstool somewhere in the city or around an assembled campfire out in the woods, things don’t always start at the beginning.

New Music Friday: Dirt Road Souls, ‘Hold On Soul’ --

Dirt Road Souls have a story to tell. It’s not the Boston roots rock band’s own, per se, and it’s not entirely yours, either.

Come along and play it loud.

Following August powderkeg single "Dumb (Take Me Out)," Fool's Gold arrives with spotlight track "Follow The Sun," where a galloping beat and hazy atmosphere build into the type of sing-along apex chorus that's fit for arenas.

'Fool's Gold' is an album of emergence, escapism, and acceptance.

An expansive and eclectic record that channels a certain nostalgic optimism that reflects its ‘90s-coded sound, it aligns the foursome with a parallel journey as they age through their 20s.
