On “Canadian Whiskey,” Wattmore, the pair of brothers Aiden and Kai take their lead on a country-rock anthem that’s as raw and as warm-hearted as its namesake tune. It’s a song that encapsulates everything that makes the brothers’ chemistry both lovably unhinged and electric with grit, humor, and a kind of honesty that says whatever it’s got on its mind.
Penned with Allan Caswell and produced by Lindsay Waddington, “Canadian Whiskey” struts that fine line between rebellion and refinement as a country anthem. The real humanity of the brothers is poured into every riff and lyric, drawing from sarcasm, heart, and swagger into something that could only be their own.
There is also an emotional undercurrent beneath the dry humor and swagger, the sort of punch that sneaks up on you in the chorus. No wonder the song has made such a splash in just two weeks as #1 on Latin American PlayMPE, #3 on the Australian Country Music Top 10, and #21 on the Australian Country Songs Airplay Chart.
“Canadian Whiskey” is a country with combustion, storytelling with bite, and it’s more proof that Wattmore is a duo of brothers who turn their awkward brilliance into an art form. With this release, they’ve raised a glass and the bar for what country rock can sound like.
