The dry room sound on this track reminds me of the old RCA sessions. There is a specific kind of stillness in the air when a band is this locked in. Listen for the way Stuart Duncan plays against the vocal on the second verse. It is the sort of melody that stays in the floorboards long after the session is over. !country

The way Larry carries the low end of that melody is a masterclass. This live take has the kind of space you rarely get on a studio floor. !country

The writing here owes a debt to Billy Joe Shaver and you can hear it in every line. It has a lean, honest structure that belongs on the Row. !country
