Over the years it has been a pleasure & thrill to champion the organic, holistic & down-right-honest sound of Natural Child. The Nashville trio of Seth, Wez & Zack endeared themselves initially in their local hometown scene, becoming part of southern DIY denizens at Infinity Cat, to Burger Records and now present their new album Okey Dokey out now via their own imprint Natural Child Records & Tapes. These three horsemen pride themselves on a storied sound taken straight from the musical history books that recall a sound that stemmed beyond the digital era that harkens back to a time well beyond the days of the Grand Ole Opry.

Presenting the world premiere of “Juanita”, Natural Child embody that quintessential scrappy saloon band banging out the best bars & antique-Americana attitudes like stumbling into a honky tonk from another time & place. Natural Child once again prove to be seasoned masters in their own right of keeping the gritty American drifter sound alive & well with a Nashville flair where they defend their title as truly one of Music City’s best bands around. The classic sound, styles & sentiments that echo like the progenic spawns of the Allman Brothers shines big, bold & bright on “Juanita” that provides a genuine glow of comfort for all derelict wanderers & destitute barfly who live their lives day by day—whiskey by whiskey. Seth from Natural Child provided the following words on the new album & the following debut single “Juanita”:

Okey Dokey represents a lot of what the four of us have gone through in two years of winning and losing. Just like everything we’ve ever written, all of these songs are true stories. As for “Juanita”, well I still love her.

Natural Child’s new album Okey Dokey is available now via their own label Natural Child Records & Tapes.
