The Record
Love, Lies & Other Good Intentions is the soul and R&B side of Black River Revival — deep grooves, brass, smoky guitars, and honest songwriting about the complicated reality of relationships. If Live Like I Mean It was the country side and Ain't Done Yet was the raw blues-rock, this is the late-night, soulful side of the same river. Black River Revival isn't one genre. Different sounds. Same river.

Behind Love, Lies & Other Good Intentions
Love, Lies & Other Good Intentions brings the warmth, grit, and vulnerability of classic soul and modern R&B into the Black River Revival catalog. Centered around the title track's honest look at human contradiction, this 10-song collection traces the moments when love gets complicated — the late-night conversations, the pride that gets in the way, the second chances we don't always deserve, and the spark that keeps burning anyway. From the swagger of 'You Make Trouble Look Good' and the groove of 'A Little Less Complicated' to the emotional weight of 'Don't Make Me Beg' and 'Good Intentions, Bad Decisions,' every track is built around real feeling, memorable hooks, and the timeless truth that love is rarely simple. Different sounds. Same river.
