It is the first single to be taken from his upcoming debut LP – Run – which is slated for release February 20th 2015.

We have been listening:

This piece is full of cheeky twang .

The oil and canvas vocal is jaded and stained. Tobacco-like, but not bitter.

It seeps across the piece like creosote stains on a washboard.

There is a lacy vocal accompaniment – this is gradually revealed.

Then lips part, and the feathery stigma of the song is betrayed.

This is a sentimental backwoods number. It explores the fringes of what is wild and undeveloped.

With admirable skill and aplomb.
