“style as indebted to vintage Americana as it is modern alternative…an epic way of entering a new era in western music.” -musicexistence
“a poignant nod to the one and only Johnny Cash…worth it to anyone who loves cutting alternative country music.” -theindiesource
“from start to finish in “I Walk the Line For You,” emotionality is transcending the implied physics of the arrangement altogether…this song is a must-add to any pastoral indie playlist without debate”
“The Johnny Cash Wild West rock aesthetic is full force in this track…a must-listen for any fan, I Walk The Line For You deserves a listen from anyone with an interest in the genre.” -ReviewFix
“‘I Walk the Line For You,’ which highlights White Owl Red’s raw, pulsating musical sensibility. The equally intelligent and hopeful new single from ‘Afterglow’ powerfully combines Josef McManus’ unique musical aesthetic with his deeply felt appreciation for the true romantic love that Cash and Carter had for each other, which will surely leave a lasting impact on his listeners. -shockya
White Owl Red’s unique musical aesthetic, continues to break typical genre boundaries by delivering simply great music. Written from the heart, Afterglow takes us on a thoughtful emotional journey that profoundly explores themes of love, loss and redemption. White Owl Red, challenges us with “provocative lyrical commentary… polarizing and unifying in narrative” writes Music Existence, “in today’s plasticized music business, this makes it quite the rare find indeed”
“I Walk The Line For You”, is the second pre-release (Jan 2020) to the anticipated new White Owl Red album Afterglow. This song is a straight up two-step telecaster-driven Country tune. The song references the legendary relationship of Johnny Cash and June Carter (as well Vivian Liberto the first wife of Johnny Cash and the woman he pledged to remain faithful to in his song “I Walk the Line,”). McManus uses Cash’s relationships as as starting point to reflect upon the challenges that arise as a man must grapple with life choices, personal demons, fidelity and the efforts needed to make true love last.
Afterglow’s first pre-released single, Working Class Heroes, has been hailed as “one of the most intimate and unforced indie performances of the season…another slam dunk in this latest studio cut…rank this as among the more important independent releases to make headlines all year long” says Indie Source Magazine.
Fusing country, indie rock, folk and Americana influences, McManus’s musical alchemy propelled his previous full-length album Existential Frontiers to extraordinary international critical acclaim garnering crossover airplay on Americana, alt.county, roots, folk, indie rock, AAA and non-com. The album was hailed by Music Writer/Critic David Masciotra as a “an album of philosophy meets alt.country.” Music Critic Bobby Moore wrote, Existential Frontiers “tackles deep questions” with a “postmodern attitude”.
Naked and Falling, the second studio album by White Owl Red received international acclaim and airplay in 2017 and 2018. It charted on the AMA top 100 Chart, the FAR Chart top 10 and the Root 64 airplay chart top 20. Naked and Falling was distinguished in the top 100 albums of 2017 by Alternate Root Magazine. Americana Ash, the 2014 debut album by White Owl Red charted and remained on the AMA charts for 14 weeks.
