While near about anyone can spend money on a great studio and hotshot producer and walk out with something decent sounding, doing it live is a whole new ballgame. Patrick Mulroy (guitar, vocals), Zach Meyer (mandolin, vocals), Michael Harmon (bass, vocals), Tom Farrell (resonator guitar), and Alex Barstow (fiddle) know there’s no room to fake it when it’s just the band, acoustic instruments, and an audience. As Grain Thief, these fellas have worn the chrome off their frets doing it the hard way. Ain’t Hungover Yet is a melodic snapshot of a crew of top-flight musicians locked in the groove; lifted on the energy of a raucous audience, a bunch of barbeque, and a some sweet summer sunshine.
All of this is well-captured on their new single “Tennessee Stud”, which we are pleased to premiere today. A song that certainly will get you tapping your feet as you get lost in the sound driven by some great fiddle.
About the song, Zach comments “Tennessee stud is our tribute to Jimmy Driftwood. Rumor has it he wrote over 20,000 songs, earning his title as the Wilt Chamberlain of songwriting. We like to play this one at a nice, groovy trot to warm up the crowd.”
