My musical flavors have always been diverse to a degree. I wanted one that kind of touched on an identity that i could call my own. I put the guitar in "Drop D" one day and this song practically wrote itself. It has flavors of Chris Stapleton, Bon Jovi, Garth Brooks, David Allen Coe and Charlie Daniels. You can hear it all in this song. In order to produce the sound I wanted, I needed to tell a story of anguish.
This song is about a man who lives in the eyes of many as a "Sunday Morning Deacon" or "a Good Man", but theres something stirring inside that no one knows. Have you ever heard of the song, "Dancy's Dream" by Restless Heart? This song bounces off that idea. He is torn between one world of being what many ascribe him to be...and the other that follows 'the scent of a woman".
There are references to "A place down on the south end of town". I used this as a means to describe his home where "he bows his head to pray". Maybe to ask for forgiveness? Maybe to ask for a way to now follow through with where his "Mind has gone astray". In the end, he makes a choice and he is torn over it but would "rather be called a sinner" by many "than live an outright lie".
I have loved telling stories on this album and this one is the one that doesnt necessarily end on a good note but one of uncertainty. I hope you enjoy this. We tried to make this a dirty, raw. nasty, in your face kind of country rock tune.
Jonathan Laird is playing the dobro like a boss, and you can hear Corbin lighting up the harmonica with every cool plug in we could dirty it up with.
*Cool fact. No animals were harmed in the making of this song.
