Convinced Friend — Robitussin
Played: 2026-09-03
The fifth track on Nowhere Songs, the second full-length from Convinced Friend, the Providence, Rhode Island project helmed by Austin Wilson, released 28 August 2026. A dryly titled country-rock number (named for the cough syrup) that surfaced in Bandcamp's Best Country Music roundup for August 2026. Previewed back in June as a standout of an album celebrated for its rough, dust-covered barroom Americana. Unverified: no confirmed story behind the title beyond the syrup naming.
