“Long Way Or The Hard Way” [Video Teaser #3].
Dub Edition. This part of this song is one of my favorite parts of the whole record. My producer played everything that’s not acoustic guitar, beatbox and vocals, so he could have tracked a drum, bass or guitar solo here, but instead he dub-soloed the third verse, which I thought was very creative. Thank you Ben Badenhorst Music for the producer juicer on this record. The new song drops a week from today.

This is a song about what I experienced and learned at/after our time at Standing Rock. The chorus "long way or the hard way" was spoken (by my Lenape Grandmother) to my wife Katie, in a dream, ten years after my Grandmother passed. Which is a story for another day. The new song drops on Fri. Jun. 6th at midnight.
