What does the title “Deadly medicine” insinuate to you? Before it’s released I’d like to know, what do you think it is about? After all these two words together could have many meanings…
-I’ve wanted to write a duet for years. Lance Rogers and I were discussing writing a song together and he sent me an idea for a title “Deadly medicine”. We talked about what this title could mean and how it could be interpreted in different ways. Was it literal, was it metaphorical? I immediately started writing. Once I got the basic structure down for the full song, lyrics and guitar melody, I sent him an acoustic recording and a blank space for a new verse, we then adjusted back and forth accordingly and ended up with a damn masterpiece. I knew I needed the right woman’s voice to fit the feeling of this song, it needed to be powerful and emotional at the same time to fit the vibe, and there was no doubt that I wanted Hannah Howard singing this part. I saw her live the first time at Pit House and was mesmerized by her sound, and just as I knew she would, she knocked this song plum outta the park. After getting Logan Henry, Luke Estep, & Sam Rogers involved we layed down at Fat Cave Studios what I can honestly say is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever been part of. It has such a unique and beautiful yet nostalgic, powerful feel. I wouldn’t call it a love song, quite the opposite in fact, it hits straight to the core of a feeling that I know a lot of folks have lived and learned from, but is completely open to interpretation to whatever it may mean to you personally as well just as a well written song should.
I absolutely cannot wait for you all to hear this.
“Deadly Medicine” is out everywhere this Friday, Dec 13th.
