My forever mantra ✨️

i was listening to Endless Skies by Ashbury today which was mainly Wishbone Ash influenced and some other influences from Southern Rock and that’s when i had an a-ha moment. Pretty much all of the later 70s guys were huge Wishbone Ash fans you can hear it in Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot and especially in The Outlaws. I can say some of that also came from The Allmans who had a similar vibe with that twin lead but a lot of the southern bands sounds came from Wishbone Ash imo.

This is from Donnie and Johnny Van Zant : All the rats in the city are living out of a box ! They look down their nose I suppose? And I just laugh 🤣 my country ass off ! I'm Doing alright is the song title! I want to hear yours!

Hey everyone,
We wanted to share the official lyric video for "Spell" directly with you.

For this track, we wanted the visuals to match the heavy hypnotic atmosphere of the music without the distractions of a traditional video. The focus here is entirely on the words and the mood.

Let us know which lyrics hit the hardest for you, and thanks for listening.

— Rick Monroe and the Hitmen

Got my boots dusty and my soul rattled making this one. Imagine if a Coen Brothers film was a song. This is my attempt at Dark Outlaw Country—a story about a man, a pinewood cross, and a debt that heaven and hell won't let him forget.

Give it a spin and tell me where this road takes you. 🤘
