WHAT DOES THE NAME MEAN?

THE RURAL LONELY

 As much as I love and respect the classic country artists, I’ve always related more with the darker, folk and blues inspired country music. 


Following my move from heavy rock into country, I searched for other acts who had followed that same path, this lead me to John Mellencamp.


He has a song called Rural Route, which tells of a dark story, and the words rural are repeated throughout the song, but the lyric “just walking home alone, on the rural route” resonated with my upbringing in a quiet coastal village on the west of Scotland, with the solitude and darkness that comes with the beautiful scenery and peace & quiet. 

Everyone wants to be rural, but no one wants to be lonely.

Although this project is just me, I personally don’t feel right using my name as the project’s identity, like another of my heroes, Dallas Green, who goes by City & Colour.
