Head Ghost Michael Harrison Berg wrote this one with guitarist Grant Tye, and it takes full advantage of the all-star band behind them, with fresh sounding backing vocals from Natalie Cressman and Jennifer Hartswick and a hint of rumble from new-to-the-fold bassist Chris Chew (of The World & North Mississippi All Stars).
Not a bad, geographic pedigree either, recorded at The Barn in Vermont, mixed in Chicago and L.A. and mastered in Nashville.
If popular music hadn't gone completely Lowest Common Denominator, this is the stuff that should be pouring out of FM radios all summer.
