Brandon Wayne Reimagines a Classic in “Folsom Prison (F*** You Brandon Wayne)”
Brandon Wayne just released “Folsom Prison (F*** You Brandon Wayne),” and he isn’t here to play it safe. His raw take on Johnny Cash’s legendary single delivers a thunderous and unapologetic reinterpretation that blends outlaw country roots with a rock and roll snarl. “Folsom Prison (Fuck You Brandon Wayne)” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

The song tells the story of a man stuck in Folsom Prison, who’s haunted by his past mistakes and longing for freedom, themes that resonate deeply in Brandon Wayne’s emotional delivery. The added shouting of “Fuck you Brandon Wayne” adds a playful, but still edgy layer that turns the original into a bold statement about owning your flaws and being unapologetically yourself. Joined by Andres Alzate on bass, Ian LeBlanc on drums, and Tobin Gomez on fiddle, Wayne creates a sound that’s part Outlaw Country, part hard rock, but fully authentic. Produced by Wayne and Alzate at Alzate Records, the cover captures the rough edges and energy expected from a live session, not a clean, overly perfected studio polish. The mix of dark, moody vibes and gritty rock makes the song feel fresh and exciting. “‘Folsom Prison’ was the first song I learned from Johnny, and it’s by far one of my favorite covers to play live,” Brandon says. “I think I paid homage to the great J.C. but gave it my own Brandon Wayne twist.”


Hailing from Long Beach, CA, Brandon Wayne is carving out his place in the music scene with a bold fusion of country and rock. Drawing inspiration from roots, classic country, metal, and hard rock, his latest single, “Bad Habits,” showcases his dynamic sound and genre-blending talent. The track received praise from notable press outlets like Wide Open Country, Keep It Rock, and Jammerzine. Known for his high-energy live performances, Wayne captivates audiences with his commanding presence that keeps fans coming back for more.


Fans of music with heart, guts, “in your face” attitude, and of course Johnny Cash, won’t want to miss this electrifying take on a timeless classic. Listen to “Folsom Prison (Fuck You Brandon Wayne),” on all streaming platforms, and follow Brandon Wayne on Instagram and TikTok @BrandonWayne_Music to keep up with his releases.

Broken Gold today share the glistening power pop ripper “Fault”. The track is the final single to be released in advance of the band’s second studio full-length Wild Eyes. On an album that is riven with reflection, “Fault” stands as a particularly striking testament to realization. From the opening salvo, “Feeling like the living dead, The dream had died inside my head” Broken Gold singer/guitarist Ian MacDougall navigates the equally cursed and blessed nature of being a touring musician. Years spent playing stages in places you’ve always dreamed of, all the while watching your home life disintegrate as relationships are strained and an exhausting never-ending search is undertaken for part time jobs to fill the downtime. It’s a topic close to the heart of seasoned road dog MacDougal, who’s served lengthy stints with Band Of Horses and a legion of punk and crust bands, as well as over 20 years as a founding member of beloved Texan punks Riverboat Gamblers. Notes MacDougal, “it’s sort of...
