South Dakota native Kenny Feidler has never been one to dress his music in pretense. Known for his unflinching honesty and dust-stained blend of country, western, and rock and roll, Feidler returns with his most deeply personal release yet: “K.O.W.”
Short for “King of Wyoming,” the song is a slow-burning meditation on resilience, penned entirely by Feidler himself as is every song in his catalog dating back to his 2013 debut. It’s a songwriter’s song through and through: heavy, unvarnished, and rooted in real-life observation.
Recorded in his home state, “K.O.W.” lets the instrumentation simmer in the background while the lyrics take center stage, harrowing, stripped-back lines that land like a gut punch. “There’s a kingdom through the pasture gate / There’s a woman, growing weary of the wait / There’s a young man trying not to suffocate / Looking hard in to the mirror, sealing up his fate." It’s the kind of imagery that feels lived-in, carrying a weight that lingers long after the last note fades.
"I wrote (the song) from the sidelines watching someone I really respect, drowning in it," Kenny shares of the new song. "Watching them quietly get sober and the struggle of that. Pretty heavy thing to witness and I'm thankful to see it happen to several people I care about. They're having quiet victories day to day even though there's no real finish line. I'm just really proud of my friend.”
That raw sense of pride and pain threads itself through every line. The track is not about fanfare or spectacle, but about honoring the often unseen, hard-fought battles of recovery.
With more than a decade of writing and recording under his belt, Feidler has built a reputation as one of independent country’s most uncompromising voices. Every song is his own, every lyric drawn from a lived experience making “K.O.W.” not just another release, but a continuation of an ethos.
Authenticity isn’t a buzzword for Kenny Feidler, it’s the only way he knows how to write. And with “K.O.W.,” he’s delivered not only a song, but a mirror for listeners who know what it means to fight quietly and keep walking forward.
