Whiskey Myers Let It Rip On Rocking New Single “Midnight Woman”

A certified heater.

The East Texas boys are letting it rip once again with an electrifying new single, “Midnight Woman.”

“Midnight Woman” is the third single that Whiskey Myers has released from their forthcoming record, Whomp Whack Thunder. Produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Ashley McBryde, Lainey Wilson), the new album is set for release this fall on September 26th via the band’s own Wiggy Thump Records.

Whiskey Myers’ lead guitarist John Jeffers says they went into the studio with no preconceived ideas of what they wanted it to be. Instead, let their inspirations and muses lead them:

“We didn’t set out to chase a specific sound—we set out to make a Whiskey Myers record. Jay pulled something out of us that’s raw and real, and every track’s got a piece of our story in it. This album’s about where we’ve been, what we’ve lived and the scars we earned along the way – and I think ‘Whomp Whack Thunder’ might just be our most fearless album yet.”

Fearless indeed. With their first two singles, “Time Bomb” and “Tailspin,” the Southern rock outfit from Palestine has never been more unapologetically them. “Midnight Woman” falls right in line with this.

The slow and smooth build-up of the opening lines sets the scene that the narrator is taken aback by a hypnotizing woman. After the first verse, the instrumentation takes a notable step up and transitions into a classic rock groove soaked with soul. Frontman Cody Cannon’s gritty vocals

“She got that rhythm like Mustang Sally
She got that mojo hand
She got that motion in the ocean
She’s gotta ways with potions
Damn, strong enough to kill a full-grown man

She operates under the moon and the starlight
She moves, she moves between the hours of twilight
That kinda love will make a man go insane
She’ll knock you out like a shot to your veins…”

Everything about this “Midnight Woman” captivates the narrator of the tune, and the lyrics really do bring the image of this woman to light. I’m picturing a dark dive bar with a vampy woman sitting on the other end holding this man’s attention all night.

“Midnight Woman” must be something special, and whoever this mysterious character is, she inspired one hell of a tune.

Similar to what they did with “Tailspin,” they allowed festivalgoers to get an early listen to the single. The overwhelming consensus is that “Midnight Woman” is a Whiskey Myers classic. And I agree.
