Of the track, the duo shares, “It’s a life song performed in a timeless John Prine manner. The scene of the song takes place at a rural service station. It’s funny what you can take from small human interactions with strangers. Whether it’s an old man talking about his deceased wife, or just getting a smile for a girl behind the register by simply saying ‘keep the change,’ as small as they are, they can go a long way and apply to your life. Even if it feels like we are going to hell in a handbasket, it’s always good to be reminded that there is indeed some good in this world.”
The Coastal Plain is the duo’s fourth studio album and will be released on Stancaster Music via Thirty Tigers (pre-order/pre-save here). Produced by Stanton and Muncaster, alongside their long-time collaborator Ryan Youmans (known for his work with Jelly Roll, among others), the record stands as the duo’s most authentic project to date. Drawing deeply from their personal histories, they craft narratives reminiscent of the people and landscapes of their southern Alabama upbringing. Containing 14 tracks, the album includes previously released singles such as “Mary Riley,” “Earle Byrd From Mexia,” “Weyerhaeuser Land,” “Low Hangin’ Fruit,” “10-90” and “Tickets To Turnpike (Feat. Kyle Nix),” all of which showcase a distinctive sound that weaves together influences from classic country, roots, and gospel—creating a rich tapestry of storytelling and musical heritage.
“In a way this record feels like an ode to ourselves and the fact that we’ve finally found our sound, which is hopefully something that will end up inspiring other artists down the road. Our motto for the last few years has been, ‘Make what we love, and everything else will take care of itself.’ We just want to stay adventurous and keep evolving and keep elevating our game, and because of that the music is the strongest it’s ever been,” Muscadine Bloodline shares about The Coastal Plain.
“One of the hottest duos in the genre” (Country Chord), the pair are currently on “The Coastal Plain Tour” offering numerous chances to catch their high-energy live show across the country. See below for the complete tour itinerary.
In addition to the powerhouse vocals from Muncaster and Stanton (vocals, guitar), The Coastal Plain also features the duo’s longtime touring band—Justin Rowton (bass), Weston Stewart (guitar) and Zoltan Tobak (drummer).
Originally from Mobile and now based in Nashville, Muncaster and Stanton have released three full-length albums including their latest, 2023’s Teenage Dixie. Of the record, American Songwriter praised, “infectiously singable tunes…a raw, unapologetic homage to where they came from,” while Holler called it “a rich, engulfing, emotionally-driven LP that captures the unmistakable truth of people and their stories.” Since forming in 2015, the duo has also achieved great success with their 2016 platinum-certified single, “Porch Swing Angel,” which has garnered over 100 million streams on Spotify to date, made their Grand Ole Opry debut, performed sold-out headline shows across the country and joined artists such Eric Church, Turnpike Troubadours and Cody Johnson on the road.
