Brent Cobb Teams with Ram Trucks on LONG LIVE THE STORYTELLERS Documentary Series,
By: Caryn Robbins Aug. 14, 2017
Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Brent Cobb is featured in "Long Live the Storytellers," a new documentary-style video series created by Ram Trucks. The first episode in the series is premiering today at Rolling Stone Country Watch HERE.
Filmed in Nashville with Greg "Freddy" Camalier (Muscle Shoals), the series chronicles the process of creating Cobb's new single "Ain't A Road Too Long," which will be released onSeptember 15 on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records. While getting to know Cobb with this intimate look into his musical process, "Long Live the Storytellers" also features songwriting insights from the perspective of lauded music producers, musicians, and writers, including Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb and songwriter/musician Dan Penn.
Brent explains, "[Being a part of Ram's 'Long Live the Storytellers'] campaign is important to me because I've been writing songs my whole life. I was born into it. Professionally, I've been making a living at it for over a decade and any breaks I've had along the way have been because of the songs I've written." Adding, "It takes drive to stay on that road, figuratively as well as literally. The first truck I ever toured in was a Ram. We toured in it all over the country. A lot of artists before me had used the same truck, so by the time it got to us it had been rode hard. As hard as it had been rode, it still got us where we needed to go. Ram understands that drive."

ABOUT RAM TRUCK BRAND
