I rode a lot of motorcycles and horses basically reflected on my whole life and career and connection with this music…there was a lot.
It all started in the swamps I was raised in. This is the greatest single piece of work I’ve ever done, I can promise you that.” Head inside to watch the music video… The song will be featured on the country project Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley: Chapter 2 — Swamp Savant, which is out April 28.
