Although it’s 49 Winchester’s fourth studio album, Fortune Favors The Bold marks its
debut for Nashville’s New West Records — one of the premier labels for Americana,
indie and rock acts on the cutting edge of sound, scope and spectacle.
That initial spark to create 49 Winchester was some eight years ago. Gibson is 27 now. And in that time, there’s been hundreds of shows and thousands of miles between that starting line in Russell County and where the band stands today as one of the rapidly rising bands on the current scene in the Southeast and beyond.
“We were rank amateurs when we started this band, and our whole musical lives have been contained with this band,” says Gibson. “And that gives us a unique perspective because it’s still the same guys. It’s still all of us from Castlewood traveling around, playing music and making this band a reality — this is a story of growth.”
And it’s that sense of growth — more so, a sense of self — at the core of Fortune Favors The Bold. It’s not only a record that showcases the current state of 49 Winchester, it’s a melodic stake in the ground of how this group is constantly evolving and taking shape, sonically and lyrically.
