On “Slowly,” 49 Winchester leans into the weight of reflection, delivering a slow-burning, emotionally resonant track that highlights the band’s signature blend of Southern rock grit and country soul. The track, written by Gibson, Jessie Jo Dillon and Chris Tompkins, reflects the themes of personal growth and evolution found throughout the forthcoming album. Anchored by Isaac Gibson’s unmistakable vocal and the band’s lived-in instrumentation, the song captures the passage of time and the hard-earned clarity that comes with it, unfolding with a patience that mirrors its message.
Change of Plans was executive produced by GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson) at his recording studio in Savannah, Georgia. The project follows a string of critically praised releases and captures the band at a creative peak, expanding their sonic palette while remaining rooted in the storytelling that has defined their career. The album reflects both personal and artistic evolution, shaped by years on the road and an unwavering commitment to authenticity.
“Slowly” follows the band’s recent release “Pardon Me”, further showcasing a new era for 49 Winchester, one defined by emotional honesty, musical depth, and fearless exploration. The track also arrives on the heels of their debut release under Lucille Records / MCA, a stirring cover of Black Sabbath’s “Changes”. MCA is collaborating with New West Records for the band’s upcoming release, with all subsequent releases set to be issued exclusively under the MCA banner.
