Seen as one of the genre’s finest and most authentic modern voices, on Somewhere Between the Secret and the Truth Bowen’s approach stays rooted in tradition, but also stands on the creative cutting edge. Here, his focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality, and shifting his sonic territory to match his life. Wielding a knack for direct, poetic songwriting that never panders, Bowen matches his gravel-road growl to an organic sound spanning the whole of Texas, tapping both country and rock influences. A dozen previous albums have shown his sonic diversity – including six studio sets, two live collections, a gospel album and an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan, Randy Rogers.
"I was trying to find where I fit musically again. I wasn't really sure if it was Americana or if it was Country or if it was Rock - I was all over the place with my songwriting and my career. Ironically enough, COVID really gave me a chance to just turn my brain off a little bit and stop thinking. When I came out on the other side I found not only a renewed sense of my music and wanting to get out and play again, but I found a renewed sense of self. I really felt I found who I wanted to be as a writer, as a singer, as an artist. I hate to just say Country music or more Country-oriented but that's really what it came down to and the simplicity of it. I really wanted the simplicity of the songs to carry themselves and carry the album and lead us all the way through the live show; where the simplicity creates these big, massive sounding songs and that's what I feel like we got from this record. I'm just trying to put my own personal spin on what I think is great about Country music. I'm not reinventing the wheel here, I'm writing about things that have been written about a million times; you just try to put your own spin on things and I really feel like that's what this album's strength is: it's traditional Country roots but it has a vintage Wade Bowen feel to it lyrically and sonically."
