What many consider the best song off the new album, something i’m tempted to agree with. When I first heard it, I was blown away by the honesty and reality presented by the writing. For those wondering, Kerr county is a rural county in Texas where Hayden spent a good deal of recovery/rehab time. It’s dedicated to his friend, who recently passed away to a fentanyl overdose.
The first time we tried to record this song (clips of which can be seen in the beginning of this video) Hayden was too fucked up to finish it and so we had to call it off. This is the second go around.
If you want to support real musicianship, raw songwriting and Hayden then here’s your chance.
