Like Johnny Cash, Erik Shicotte has been everywhere, and like Cash and Merle Haggard, the Midwestern singer songwriter sings with humor and pathos about trains, trucks, and the hardworking heroes who hang out on the highways, rails, and honky-tonks. Shicotte’s new album Miss’ry Pacific rides along a rambling, rolling country vibe that twists and turns like the many roads he’s traveled since he started writing the album. The album was “Slapped together like the far flung cars of a freight train,” says Shicotte. “The pandemic made it impossible to get everyone in the same room, but we made it work by communicating virtually, recording different parts in different cities, and staying committed to piecing it all together.” Shicotte’s rich baritone vocals wrench emotions from his listener’s hearts. Like Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton, he writes songs that carry us back to times in our lives when certain events moved us deeply. “I write so people can feel it,” Shicotte says. “The songs on this album take me back to the moments when I wrote them, and my intent is that they can take the listener someplace that means something too.”
