When Dylan Gossett released his debut EP, No Better Time, back in November, he put the country world on notice.

Gossett announced the EP with the release of “Somewhere Between” back on March 1. Songs in the Gravel contains the pre-released “Bitter Winds” and “Somewhere Between,” along with two brand-new songs,…
