Max Alan Previews 'Songs For A Rainier Day' With 'Enough Rope'
(Sony Music Nashville) Rising singer and songwriter Max Alan will release his new EP, Songs for a Rainier Day, Dec. 4 and is giving listeners a first glimpse with "Enough Rope".
"'Enough Rope' is a song that always felt sad to me but the more I listen it's a song about being content with life," shared Alan. "The statement of 'I'm thankful for the things I have and all the things I don't' is so beautiful and two-sided. Blessings can look like the things you've been gifted in your life, but also the things you avoided."
On the new EP, "Enough Rope" appears alongside Alan's most recent release, "Hundred Thousand Sunsets" ("The simple, fiddle-guitar production aches beautifully," lauded MusicRow), as well as two new original tracks and his version of "Because He Lives," the Bill and Gloria Gaither hymn from the 70s. The take that appears on the EP is actually a voice memo, recorded live with a single guitar. The project exists as a snapshot in time of an artist from the hills of Southwest Pennsylvania wearing his heart, and his influences, on his sleeve.
Alan has been on the road throughout 2026 with Josiah and the Bonnevilles, as well as support on Dylan Gossett's and Charles Wesley Godwin's co-headlining tour. He'll perform at St. Pete Country fest on Nov. 21 to close a whirlwind year.
