The Prescriptions Release Debut Album 'Hollywood Gold'

Today, the Nashville-based rock band The Prescriptions have released their debut album Hollywood Gold through Single Lock Records. To celebrate, the band will be doing an in-store performance at Grimey's record shop in Nashville tonight at 6pm.

In an interview with lead singer and songwriter Hays Ragsdale, Billboard stated that Hollywood Gold, "demonstrates a considerable breadth in Ragsdale's writing, ranging from Laurel Canyon folk rock and Americana to echoes of vibey new wave and power pop."

Previously released singles off the record include "She Is Waiting," "Cuts Like A Knife," "Broken Wing," and the title track.

While The Prescriptions may come by their Southern style of narrative songwriting honestly, they refuse to rest on the laurels of their musical heritage. Songs like "Hollywood Gold" reflect the band's deep appreciation for their musical heroes while also showcasing the commitment and drive towards something new. The band performed "Hollywood Gold" for the acclaimed Nashville-based YouTube channel GemsOnVHS.

The Prescriptions will also be opening two shows for John Paul White on May 17 and 18 at Atlanta's Terminal West and Birmingham's The Lyric Theatre respectively. More tour dates with White to be announced in the coming weeks.
